Around Uchiyama Gorge × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed for three nights and was completely satisfied!! The Hotel was spotless throughout—bright, clean, and beautifully maintained. The front desk staff and housekeeping team were friendly and welcoming, which created a great atmosphere. The amenities were refined, and I was especially happy to have organic coffee. One small note: the complimentary mineral water in the Room refrigerator had to be picked up at the front desk from the second night onward. It would be even better if it could be placed in the Room during cleaning. The Room was bright and clean, with no odors in the bedding. I’m a bit particular about cleanliness, but there was nothing that bothered me here—I felt very comfortable. The bath area and changing room were also very clean, and the open-air bath was wonderful. The ReFa hair dryer and other amenities such as shampoo were great as well. I especially loved the post-bath lounge and terrace. I think this is one of the best Hotels in this price range. I already have a Reservation for next month. This time I had a Room with a view of Mt. Asama, and the sunrise was beautiful. I’d be happy if I could have a mountain-view Room again next month—can I request that? Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We stayed in a pet-friendly Room. We have used many Hotels before and expected some odor since dogs stay there, but at this Hotel my wife and daughter, who are sensitive to smells, were happy to say they didn’t notice any at all. Also, when we mentioned that our dog cannot stay alone in the Room, we truly appreciated your thoughtful consideration. Thanks to your kindness, it was a refreshing trip for us.

Although the price was a bit higher during the Obon season, it was a very clean Hotel. The bath was also great, with an open and relaxing outdoor bath. Breakfast had a wide selection and was very delicious. The cleaning was thorough as well. I would like to stay again.

I stayed here while accompanying my child on a sports trip to Saku and Ueda. It felt like a long-established Hotel quietly standing in a charming, nostalgic town. The building was clean, and the staff were very helpful. I also appreciated the lemon water service at the front desk. The Room was a standard single type. It was well cleaned and kept tidy. The mountain views from the Room window were very relaxing. There are a few restaurants nearby, but they didn’t seem to be open late—maybe because it was Sunday? It’s about a 10-minute walk to the nearest convenience store. Breakfast was buffet-style with plenty of options, and everything was delicious. I always end up taking too much and regret it halfway through—this time too—but I enjoyed it all without leaving anything. This Hotel offered excellent value for money. I’d love to stay again if I have the chance.

It’s great that a breakfast buffet is included by default at this price. I’ve stayed at various AZ properties, but this was my first time with bunk beds. Even though I was traveling alone, it was useful as a place to put my luggage.

The Room was spacious and clean, and there were various bath options, making for a relaxing stay with pleasantly warm water. It was a Hotel with excellent value for money.

While looking for an Accommodation where we could stay with our dog, we discovered “Wa no Ie” and stayed there as a family. Pet-friendly Hotels are surprisingly easy to find, but since we were going to Karuizawa, we wanted a place that truly felt luxurious and where we could enjoy time with our pet both indoors and outdoors. That’s when we found Wa no Ie—an outstanding piece of architecture surrounded by nature—and after seeing the photos, we decided almost immediately. When we arrived, the sense of unity between the building and the natural surroundings was even more impressive than in the pictures. The greenery visible through the windows and the light streaming in made it an incredibly comfortable space. Because we were traveling with a child and a dog, our only concern was the number of stairs. However, before our stay they had already set up baby gates in advance, so both our dog and child could relax safely without any worry of falling. We really appreciated this thoughtful attention to detail. The interior was spotless, and the area around it was truly quiet. Personally, I loved feeling removed from city noise—almost as if it were just us alone in the forest. In the morning, I woke up naturally with sunlight and found myself thinking, “How long has it been since I last woke up like this?” My wife and child baked sweets and played games while our dog relaxed with us—it’s a place where you end up wanting to enjoy simply spending time there rather than going out sightseeing. If possible, I honestly wished we could have stayed for several more days—living there while working remotely. It’s rare to find an entire-home rental that offers all three: nature, luxury, and an environment where you can stay together with your pet. We would absolutely love to stay here again whenever we visit Karuizawa. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

I had a very comfortable stay. It was great to have so many Onsen. I would love to stay again.

A Business Hotel conveniently located near the Saku-Kita Interchange. I had to stay unexpectedly due to severe lower back pain while driving, and a female staff member at the front desk kindly provided a pain-relief patch. I was truly grateful when I was feeling unwell—almost moved to tears—and I was impressed by how well prepared the management was. That said, with back pain, the FranceBed hotel mattress felt a little soft. In the end, I slept well and was able to drive home safely. As is common these days, there were no toothbrushes or sleepwear in the Room, and there is one microwave in the hallway.

We stayed with three family members and our dog. The building nestled in fresh greenery was truly beautiful, and the extraordinary Room space was amazing! At night, we dimmed the lights, played jazz, enjoyed some drinks, and relaxed at our own pace. Our daughter also played the lovely piano for us—it was such a luxurious time. There were Jenga and playing cards provided, and it was surprisingly fun to play them in such a unique setting! The morning bath surrounded by greenery was also wonderful—every moment was truly special. Our daughter was thrilled and said she wants to stay here again next time we come to Karuizawa, and we had a fantastic time overall. Thank you as well to the staff for being so friendly and kind!

We used this place for a summer getaway and a workcation. Miyota is less crowded than Karuizawa, with Tsuruya nearby and the station within walking distance, which was very convenient. It’s an ordinary local town with few tourist attractions around, so it doesn’t really feel like a resort. The property is spacious, well equipped with amenities, and suitable for self-catering. It was much cooler than Tokyo, and we were able to spend our time quietly. Since it’s a regular house along a main road, it’s best not to expect the atmosphere of a lodge or villa surrounded by nature.

Our family stayed here for two nights in August. It was our first time at an Accommodation with self check-in, so we were a bit nervous, but we received thorough support via SMS a few days before and again the day prior, which made us feel at ease. On the day, we entered by keying the passcode into the lock on the front door, and check-in was easy using the tablet inside! Perhaps because it’s still a new Facility, everything was very clean—and it felt more spacious than we expected, which surprised us. The kids immediately explored and found the loft; they played up there nonstop. The adults took a breather and then started preparing for a BBQ. We picked up some great-looking meat from the butcher right in front (we later learned it’s a well-known shop). With perfect weather, we enjoyed a family BBQ while watching the sunset. It became our best memory of this summer! The amenities were also excellent—high-end products like those used in salons—so my wife was especially happy. This may become everyone’s favorite Accommodation! We also requested breakfast bread vouchers; it seems to be a popular local bakery as well, and it was busy from early morning. We were very satisfied eating delicious bread on the deck while enjoying the view as a family. Next year, we’d love to come back for a Multiple Night Stay with an extra day or so. Thank you very much!

It was a new, clean Hotel and consistently comfortable throughout my stay. The bathroom was also thoroughly cleaned, and I never found any dirty areas no matter when I used it. I was disappointed that there was no shower cap among the amenities and that the vending machines didn’t have snacks.

It's appreciated that breakfast is included at this price. I was concerned that the Room's bath had a slight sewage smell.

The building is new and very clean, with excellent housekeeping that made for a pleasant stay. The customer service was also great.

This place is located a bit away from the bustling areas, which made it even better! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. We stocked up on deli food and enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stay without worrying about the surroundings. The bathroom and toilet were clean. Having laundry facilities was very convenient. It was an amazing trip, especially since dogs are welcome here!

The Facility was very clean and the whole family was pleased. The attention to detail, such as amenities and indoor play equipment, was impressive. The only disappointment was the noticeable dirt in two places: the blinds in the bathroom and the dirt on the air conditioner in the living room. It would have been even better without that. Overall, I would like to use it again.
