Enjoy a special getaway at our second home, inspired by the concept of “staying in the forest.”
Welcome to "Mori Stay," a place where you can feel closer to your destination. Second House A perfect spot between the ordinary and extraordinary. Your own personal second home, a familiar place just for you. Living A space where staying transforms into living. Here lies a new form of accommodation. Special Feeling A space that brings genuine smiles and comfort. A special place for you and your loved ones to share together. Born from this idea, we warmly welcome you back to "Mori Stay."
We’re a couple who look forward to staying in private rental Accommodations with our dog a few times a year. On our first trip back to Karuizawa in a while, the three of us (including our black Shiba) enjoyed a relaxing two-night stay at Murasakishikibu. We bought groceries locally and used the provided kitchen utensils and equipment (most essentials are available!). Having a washer and dryer was also very convenient for doing laundry. We felt the layout was comfortable for dogs as well. Since we stayed as two guests, the second floor could not be used. Because our dog tried to go up the stairs, we used luggage and cushions as a makeshift barrier; it would be nice if there were a simple safety gate if possible. Perhaps because the weather wasn’t sunny, the humidity was very high (70%–80%). We tried using the air conditioner’s dehumidifying mode, but with the high ceilings it didn’t work very effectively, so it felt a bit damp inside. That said, the high ceilings were wonderful and gave an open, airy feel. Overall, we’d rate it 4 stars!
たりーみやび 9/13/2026It was so comfortable that it made me wish I could live here.If you plan to have a barbecue, I recommend bringing a fine-mesh grill grate.Breakfast surrounded by greenery and birdsong was wonderful.I’d love to stay again.
