This was my first stay. True to its classic exterior, the hotel’s interiors and décor are refined, creating an elegant atmosphere. The building itself seems to have some age, but it has been renovated and is impeccably maintained—everything was very clean. The staff were polished and professional. What impressed me most was dinner. I’ve had French cuisine in many places, but the food here was exceptional: a wide variety of fish dishes, excellent-quality meat, and outstanding sauces. I would love to visit again.

I stayed for one night with my parents. The room was very spacious and stylish, yet it felt calm and relaxing. We enjoyed the sauna and unwound in the large bath. The bed was wide and very comfortable. I had read in a Review that breakfast portions were small, but for older guests it was more than enough, and we really enjoyed the delicious freshly cooked rice. I would love to stay again.

Our family of four stayed for two nights. From check-in onward, the Hotel staff were wonderfully welcoming, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. What impressed us most was the outstanding hospitality of everyone on the team. Not only the person who assisted us at check-in, but also the staff during meals were consistently courteous and attentive. It never felt like formal or scripted service—just genuine care that made dining as a family truly enjoyable. The Onsen was also fantastic, and we were able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. Spending two nights together as a family made for a truly wonderful trip. There are many reasons to choose a Hotel—Facilities, location, and more—but what really makes you want to come back is the warmth of the people who work there. We were all very satisfied. When we visit Karuizawa again, we would love to stay here again. Thank you for such a lovely time.

In early autumn in Karuizawa, I was able to enjoy delicious cuisine in a quiet setting. I arrived a little early, before 3:00 p.m., tired from the drive, but the welcome drink was nicely chilled, and the florentines left in the room were crisp and delicious. Although it was close to central Karuizawa, it was a lovely auberge with an attractive exterior, surrounded by forest and offering a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Inside, while the doors, windows, and other fittings had a classic style, everything was kept clean and there were no issues with usability; the furniture and small decorative touches were also charming. The lamp-style lighting fixtures were lovely but slightly dim—I would have appreciated an extra light for reading. For dinner, I had hoped to dine at Pyrenees among the two restaurants available, but it was closed that day, so I chose French cuisine at the main building instead. It was a French course with subtle Japanese influences and priced on the higher side at JPY 22,000. The main dish was duck (a bit early for the season), though there may be room for further refinement in its preparation; however, it paired beautifully with the wine selected for me. Dessert consisted of two elaborate dishes featuring seasonal fruit. Considering this attentive service as part of the experience (and given that prices have risen everywhere over this past year), I felt the cost was understandable. The bathroom had a Western style with a separate shower booth and was well equipped overall; however, as someone of smaller build—and over 70—I found some aspects slightly concerning: the tub floor felt slippery underfoot, the bathtub sides were high to step over without anything to hold onto. I would appreciate it if more consideration could be given to elderly guests. Overall, it had an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.

It was a very comfortable space, and there were bathrooms with a sauna and jet bath on both the 1st and 2nd floors, so two families could use them without hesitation. There were also thoughtful provisions that made it possible to cook for ourselves, allowing us to enjoy a very fulfilling stay. Thank you very much.

My third “Fufu” experience was once again an exceptionally comfortable stay that far exceeded my expectations. I was deeply impressed by the staff’s attentive hospitality and the perfect care taken regarding ingredients I had mentioned in advance that I cannot eat. The cuisine, beautifully presented with colors that reflect the changing seasons, was a delight to the eyes and offered outstanding flavors that truly moved me. With its refined, one-of-a-kind comfort, this is a remarkable inn I can confidently recommend to anyone. I also heard that the new annex currently under construction across the road is scheduled for completion next year, and I’m already looking forward to deciding which “Fufu” to visit next. P.S. Just one suggestion: having a handrail or similar support in the reclining bath would feel even safer. My petite wife slipped slightly, so we would appreciate your consideration.

We stayed here for a family trip. The meals were delicious, and since we had a private dining room, our family could relax and enjoy dinner. The Onsen was wonderful too! There was a mascot character called Ochun, and it was so cute—we bought a towel to take home! We were also happy to run into the costumed Ochun a few times. If we travel to Gunma again, we would definitely love to stay here again!! Thank you very much!

This was my first stay, and it was an excellent property. It’s a new, sophisticated hotel, and every area of the facility—from the sense of vertical space to the way shadows are used and the carefully designed indirect lighting—made me want to stay there all day. The dining experience was also wonderful, with well-spaced seating, thoughtful staff check-ins, perfect timing of service, and clear explanations of each dish. I would love to return in a different season. Thank you to all the staff.

At the breakfast buffet, the chef prepared dashimaki tamago and onigiri on the spot (you can choose the fillings), and I was happy to enjoy them freshly made. Today’s miso soup had clams in it, with a rich clam broth—it was delicious and comforting. There was a wide variety of dishes and desserts, including konjac-based items and Ota’s famous yakisoba, so choosing was fun and exciting. I’d love to stay again.

On the morning of October 2, I was able to take time off, so I made a last-minute reservation at Karuizawa Cypress Hotel. In our family, when we go to Karuizawa, we often choose Cypress! The lounge where we can relax with tea and chat together, the large public bath with a sauna, the delicious restaurant, great value for money, and the staff are all very friendly. It was a one-night, two-day stay, but it was truly soothing and refreshing both physically and mentally. We are always very grateful to all of the staff!!

The location is surrounded by nothing, but that also means it’s wonderfully quiet, and you can spend a blissful time surrounded by antique furniture. It’s a very distinctive Hotel with an outstanding atmosphere. Since the rooms are fully visible from the Lake Garden promenade, you may hesitate to approach the windows carelessly in light clothing after 9:00 a.m. Dinner is served at an affiliated restaurant in Kyu-Karuizawa, which also features a wonderful classical interior and truly delicious food.

I stayed here for the first time the night before climbing Mt. Myogi. The Onsen was a cloudy bath, and it was my first time experiencing its iron-like scent. I only had breakfast, but the miso soup in particular was delicious. The staff were pleasant, and the Room was spacious and clean. The futon and pillows were fluffy, so I slept soundly—overall a very satisfying Accommodation.

We stayed for one night with three dogs to celebrate the New Year, and it turned out to be a highly satisfying experience. Considering the year-end traffic and the cold weather in Karuizawa, we opted for the bullet train this time. After exploring the outlet mall directly connected to the station, we took a taxi for about 11 minutes at a cost of approximately 3,500 yen. Later, we found out that Shuttle Service was available, so checking in advance would make things smoother. The property is very spacious—about half the size of Tokyo Dome by feel—and fully enclosed. It felt like an entire dog park, providing great peace of mind when traveling with pets. Although limited to one group per day, there are three tents available. For two people it feels luxurious; six people might strike a better balance. The dogs were relaxed throughout our stay and enjoyed their freedom without concern for others—a major highlight. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with drinks and used the sauna before dinner. The sauna allowed "löyly" (steam infusion) with around nine types of aroma oils provided. At about 90°C (194°F), it was perfect for working up a good sweat. While there wasn’t a cold plunge pool available, winter’s chilly outdoor air sufficed without inconvenience. The distance from the sauna to showers could be improved slightly; however, having a bonfire area right outside made outdoor relaxation part of its charm—I wish we'd checked in earlier! Dinner was BBQ-style featuring high-quality meats and vegetables along with delicious fish appetizers and soup as starters. A selection of wines including red wine starting at 5,500 yen as well as white wine and champagne were also offered. The BBQ venue had enclosures and heaters ensuring comfort even during colder seasons. The Room felt chilly due to exposure from outside air but came equipped with electric blankets plus heaters making sleeping conditions manageable overall—though stronger or additional heating units would enhance comfort further especially if you're sensitive towards cold temperatures; bringing extra warm clothing is recommended! Morning began again inside saunas followed by breakfast consisting thoughtfully prepared soup alongside Akagi beef shigureni bento boxes which delivered both satisfying portions & flavors alike! Throughout every interaction staff maintained pleasant professionalism striking ideal balance between attentiveness yet respecting privacy leaving lasting positive impressions behind too! Finally returning back via Shuttle Service ensured seamless end-to-end convenience concluding memorable stay altogether! Looking forward revisiting during spring/autumn seasons next time experiencing different scenery/atmosphere altogether anew!

The facilities are new and the amenities are well stocked, and perhaps we were also lucky with the weather, but the open-air bath with a sauna was incredibly relaxing. Although we booked and visited at the last minute the day before, when we mentioned that it was for an anniversary celebration, they surprised us with a warm and thoughtful gesture. The food was excellent as well, and the dinner salad pleasantly exceeded our expectations. The lounge snacks felt a little limited, but there was a great variety of drinks and we enjoyed them. Even though this is a new property, the staff’s service was polished and truly outstanding. After finishing my early-morning run (a hobby of mine) and returning, I found several complimentary bottles of water at just the right temperature along with multiple towels in the reception area—an attention to detail that really impressed me. We also enjoyed hearing about their ongoing efforts to improve things and their plans for future expansion, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

I stayed for one night starting September 28. Since the accommodation offered rental bicycles, I walked from Karuizawa Station to the accommodation (about 10 minutes), left my luggage at the front desk, and rented a bicycle to go out. (The cost was 1,650 yen per day or 2,450 yen for an electric bike as I recall.) Renting a bicycle directly from the hotel made it very convenient as I didn’t have to walk back after returning it. Although the building felt a bit old, the room seemed renovated with new tatami mats and comfortable beds. It was refreshing to see beds placed on tatami mats, allowing me to relax both on the bed and on the tatami floor. I also felt secure placing my luggage directly on the tatami mats. Complimentary bottled water (one per person) and apple snacks were provided in the room. At reception, items like stick coffee packets, facial cleansers, and lotions were available for individual pickup. As there was no private bath in my room, I used the public bathhouse instead. The bathhouse was equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body soap—offered in about three varieties—which were quite sufficient. However, having makeup remover would have been even better. There were only two hair dryers available in total; they lacked power so drying long hair might take some time. A water dispenser was also provided near the bath area which allowed me to rehydrate after bathing—a nice touch. Breakfast included medicinal porridge dishes along with pork miso soup (tonjiru), grilled salmon, and various side dishes—all of which were satisfying! For those who don’t prefer porridge though white rice substitutions are possible upon request; coffee too could be self-served freely during breakfast hours! Overall experience staying here proved pleasant & enjoyable enough that I'd certainly consider returning again someday!
