Top Shimosuwa Hotel Reviews

Iroha Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very well located, near the train and bus stations. We could walk to the castle in 10 minutes. The area felt safe and calm. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated the amenities available for free in the reception area. The laundry area was useful (though busy). The staff helped us arrange luggage transfer to Magome and stored our backpacks after check out when we went to tour the city. This is a very good choice for a trip to Matsumoto and the price is fair for the quality of the room."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shimosuwa?

The best area to stay in Shimosuwa is around the historic Post Town (Shukuba) district, particularly near Honjin Iwanami House and the Suwa Taisha Shrine's Shimosha Akimiya.This area is the heart of Shimosuwa, offering a glimpse into its rich history as a crucial stop on the Nakasendo trail. You'll find beautifully preserved traditional buildings, local craft shops, and small eateries lining the historic streets. It's wonderfully walkable, allowing you to easily explore the town's heritage.For couples looking for a relaxing and culturally rich getaway, staying in this central area is ideal. You'll be within easy reach of the Suwa Taisha Shimosha shrines (Akimiya and Harumiya), which are significant historical sites, and can enjoy leisurely strolls through the charming streets, perhaps stopping at a traditional tea house.Families will also find this area convenient due to its accessibility to the town's main attractions without needing extensive travel.

When is the best time to go to Shimosuwa?

The best time to go to Shimosuwa is during the spring (April to May) for pleasant weather and cherry blossoms, or in the autumn (October to November) for stunning autumn foliage.Spring in Shimosuwa brings mild temperatures and the beautiful bloom of cherry blossoms, particularly around Lake Suwa and the town's parks. This season is ideal for outdoor activities like walking or cycling around the lake, enjoying the scenic views. It's also a good time to visit the Suwa Taisha Shrine, as the grounds are particularly picturesque.Autumn offers cooler, crisp weather and truly spectacular colours as the leaves on the trees change. The hillsides surrounding Lake Suwa become a patchwork of reds, oranges, and yellows, making it a fantastic time for photography and enjoying nature. You can take boat trips on the lake to see the autumn colours reflected on the water.While summer (July to August) is warm and can be humid, it's a popular time for festivals, including the Lake Suwa Fireworks Festival, one of Japan's largest.
