A Resort Hotel inspired by the great nature of Karuizawa, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Opened in 2022, Hotel Indigo Karuizawa is a hideaway inspired by the warmth of Karuizawa’s private villas. Its curiosity-sparking design and service invite you on an imaginative journey. Striking architecture centered on stylish, powerful timber, the lobby fireplace, and the flicker of flames and crackle of firewood at the forest garden fire pit will stay with you. At Dining “KAGARIBI,” enjoy a food experience that delights not only your palate but also your eyes and senses with a wood-fire grill and enticing aromas. Welcome to a refined retreat—like your favorite villa—where you can escape the city bustle and let your ideas flow.

  • We stayed for two nights during Silver Week. From the moment we arrived, the exterior was lovely, and the courtyard looked just like the photos. It was a wonderful, relaxing Hotel. The Room was clean, and the view from the terrace was great. Although we weren’t lucky with the weather, it has good access to sightseeing spots, so it’s a Hotel we’d like to stay at again.

  • I had an issue at check-in and asked for advice. At first, I was told it might be difficult, but after listening carefully, they kindly accommodated my request. I’m truly very grateful. All the staff were pleasant and welcoming. However, perhaps because I’m not used to course dinners, there were a few items in the dinner course that didn’t suit my taste.

  • Winemaker’s Dinner — An Evening to Savor Award-Winning Wines and the Stories Behind Them —

    At KAGARIBI, we host “Winemaker’s Dinners” that introduce the unique charm of local wines through collaborations with wineries and producers in Shinshu.

    Wood-fire Italian course + 4 wine pairings

    For this event, we welcome a producer from KIRINOKA VINEYARDS & WINERY in Tatsuno Town, Nagano Prefecture. Enjoy pairings with KAGARIBI’s wood-fire Italian cuisine while hearing firsthand about their winemaking philosophy and the character of their land. We will also welcome Ms. Kana Miyasaka—an Okaya City native and runner-up at the Miss Wine Japan Competition 2018—for a special talk with the producer.

    In search of the ideal terroir for Pinot Noir, KIRINOKA arrived in Ono, Shinshu after two decades of dedication. Making use of a cool climate at an altitude of 850 meters and well-drained soils, they continue crafting wines that reflect a deep connection to the land. At the Japan Wine Competition 2026, two labels received awards; “Maison de Kirinoka Chardonnay Cuvée Hakō 2025” won Gold in the European-variety White category.

    On the night, four wines will be served including this Gold-winning bottle. Beyond simply tasting wine, discover the producer’s passion, landscapes of the vineyard site, and the story behind each bottle—an unforgettable evening to enjoy in Karuizawa.
