This was my first time staying here. The quiet, relaxing atmosphere, pleasant service, and lush green surroundings... It was a very comfortable Hotel. I stayed after attending my daughter’s wedding, and I was able to unwind and relax. I didn’t have much time for sightseeing this time, so next time I’d like to stay here longer and enjoy sightseeing as well. Thank you very much.

As the title suggests, I felt this was a top-class Hotel in every respect—guest rooms, service, baths, and dining. In particular, I thoroughly enjoyed the Classic Dinner, savoring its carefully crafted colors and flavors down to the finest details. Rather than resting on tradition alone, the Hotel embraces changing times as well, which I believe is why it continues to captivate people today.

This was my third stay. It’s conveniently located near Karuizawa Station, making it easy to go anywhere. There’s a convenience store and a small supermarket right in front, so you won’t have any trouble with quick shopping. The Room is always clean and well maintained, and I had another very comfortable stay this time. The front desk staff provide calm, understated service, but they are very kind and keep a pleasant sense of distance. The lounge offers coffee, tea, and more, and you can relax in the spacious area. It seems a bar has recently opened as well, so I’d like to try it next time. I think this Hotel is easy to use for both solo stays and family trips. My elderly mother also really likes it and says she wants to stay at this Hotel again on our next visit to Karuizawa. Considering the location, cleanliness, comfort, and Accommodation Fee, I’m very satisfied. I think it’s a great value Hotel. I’d love to stay again.

My spouse and I stayed with our two dogs. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The dog meals also seemed tasty—our dogs finished them in no time. We were happy that the staff treated our very energetic dogs kindly. Everyone we interacted with—the front desk, the restaurant staff, and the Room service staff—was pleasant and welcoming. We stayed in a Room with a private garden, but unfortunately it rained, so we’d like to come again on a sunny day. Thank you very much.

I live not too far from Karuizawa. A friend from Tokyo really wanted to spend some quiet, relaxing time in Karuizawa, so we stayed there together. It feels like an Accommodation that combines the best of both a Hotel and a rental villa. The staff may feel politely hands-off at times, but if you ask, they respond with genuine care. Shuttle Service from Karuizawa Station is also available, so if you need it, it’s best to inquire and Reserve in advance. Although it’s close to Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza, you can step just a little way off the main road and escape the crowds. I also saw guests staying solo who spent their time reading throughout their stay. Rather than coming for a typical Hotel experience, you’ll appreciate this place most if you stay here to enjoy your own time. At check-in, we received lounge vouchers worth 1,000 yen per person. We had planned to have dinner at a restaurant outside and didn’t find anything we wanted at the shop. When I asked at the front desk, they suggested having homemade ginger ale in our Room after dinner. You order it at the front desk and bring it back yourself, but it was a great suggestion. If I have friends who want to stay in Karuizawa again, this is a Hotel I would recommend.

I had stayed here with a friend before and remembered it fondly, so this time I stayed with my husband. When making the Reservation, I requested a specific Room type, and they accommodated my request exactly, which helped us create wonderful memories. Even my husband, who doesn’t like vegetables, loved the restaurant where the vegetables are truly delicious. I was genuinely impressed by how good they were. The key to the private bath was broken, but they promptly switched us to another bath. It’s a favorite Hotel with excellent value for money, and we definitely want to stay again.

The hotel was very clean, and above all, the location was excellent. Parking was free, and we could take the car in and out as many times as we liked. Breakfast was carefully prepared, and we enjoyed it both mornings. When staying in Karuizawa again, I would definitely like to return.
