Five-Star Hotels in Hara

The location, facilities, size of the rooms, and cleanliness are all great, but two things stood out the most: the courteousness of the staff and the excellent food. We had dinner and breakfast included in our booking and the food was amazing! It was definitely the best meals I've had since coming to Japan. All of the staff were very welcoming, and Kitahara-san was just exceptional. She was an amazing host and made us feel very comfortable throughout our 3-day stay. We have nothing but good memories from our trip. Oh, there was some fireworks in Lake Suwa on our second evening there. We could see it from the private bath from our room - it was such a special experience to watch beautiful fireworks while having a good hot spring bath after an amazing dinner.

The Onsen set up is lovely, the newly renovated rooms are very nice, the staff are extremely helpful, there is drinks and some snacks offered in lobby seating area before dinner and then at supper/9pm which we loved, you need a car if you want to explore the area which is really beautiful, we didn’t have breakfast or dinner as felt it was a bit pricey but it smelt and looked amazing instead we loved exploring small local country eat places 😊
