요코카와역 (군마현) × 자연 체험 숙소온천・목욕 평가가 높은호텔·료칸

We chose this place because the Karuizawa outlet area gets crowded and it’s hard to enjoy a relaxing summer retreat there—and it was absolutely the right decision! Everything from the Room to the Onsen has been beautifully renovated, and we were very satisfied. And for train lovers, it was a real treat to be able to take a monorail to the Onsen. Even if you don’t ride it, you can get there quickly by stairs. We’d love to stay again.

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.

The meals were outstanding. Dinner met our expectations, and breakfast exceeded them. The vegetables, in particular, looked beautiful and tasted great. The Room was charming, and the bath was spacious and wonderful.

I stayed here again, as I did last year. This time, I split my stay into two parts: 2 nights and then 3 nights—first on the east side, and the last 3 nights on the west side. The west side is better. I plan to stay here again next year.

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.

We traveled as three generations with my mother and my 90-year-old grandmother. The meals and the service were very reassuring—just what you’d expect from a Hotel that also hosts weddings. The bath had a sauna, but it would have been even better with a cold plunge pool. At night we went stargazing, and in the morning we took a walk to SAWAMURA. I think it’s a great Hotel that all ages can enjoy. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay. The free-flow sparkling wine is also a big draw! Right after check-in, I headed straight to the lounge. Sipping sparkling wine while chatting in a quiet space made me feel happy right away. Dinner was French, and the taste, portion size, and quality were all outstanding—nothing to complain about. Every wine pairing was delicious, and it made me want to try a variety. The Room was spacious and beautifully designed. The Simmons bed was as comfortable as expected, and I slept soundly until morning. It’s a Hotel I’d definitely like to visit again when I go to Karuizawa.

The staff’s warm, heartfelt hospitality was truly comforting, and I was able to spend my entire stay feeling relaxed and at ease. The whole Hotel was kept impeccably clean, and I could sense thoughtful attention to detail throughout, which allowed me to unwind with complete peace of mind. Each dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and wonderful in both appearance and taste—I was completely satisfied with everything. Thanks to the staff, I had a wonderful time in Karuizawa. I am sincerely grateful. When I visit Karuizawa again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much for a lovely time.

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.

We had a wonderful time with our dog. The meals were delicious. The service was excellent. We were able to spend lots of quality time with our dog. We’d love to come again.

The complimentary drinks in the lobby lounge, the Room, the Onsen, the parking service, and access to the shopping mall were all excellent.

Because it was directly connected to the station, we stayed for two nights with breakfast only. I’ve stayed at many Accommodations and visit Karuizawa about once a year, but this trip was especially wonderful—we could enjoy shopping and dining at our own pace without worrying about time. Breakfast was delivered in a basket to the entrance after a knock, and it was plentiful and delicious. Being able to enjoy it at my own pace without watching the clock was the best. The Room interior and overall space were so relaxing that we lost track of time—unlike any Hotel I’ve ever experienced. The herbal bath and lounge were also spacious, with an impressive variety of drinks, allowing us to unwind comfortably. We visited for my husband’s birthday trip, and we truly appreciate that you prepared a celebratory gift for us. Thank you very much. We definitely plan to return. Lastly, since we sometimes re-wear outerwear such as jackets or shawls during our stay, it would be helpful if there were a deodorizing spray (like Febreze). The hand soap and body cream had great quality and fragrance, so something with a similar scent would be wonderful.

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.

Mount Myogi rose like a folding screen, and the scenery was spectacular! The Hotel was clean, and the Onsen had great water. Meals were buffet-style for both breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t food I’d want to eat again... There are many sightseeing spots nearby, so we were able to stop by various places and had a very fulfilling trip.

I felt it was a classic, charming old Japanese Hotel. The building’s presence, the restaurant, the guest rooms, and the interior were all wonderful. I stayed on a Plan with breakfast and dinner included. The food was just as delicious as what you’d find at Hotels in Tokyo, and they kindly accommodated my dietary dislikes so I could fully enjoy the meals. All of the staff provided excellent service, and I felt everything throughout my stay was great. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here because of its convenient location for enjoying a concert at Ohga Hall. This Hotel has a quiet atmosphere that lets you feel Karuizawa’s history. Thanks to the kind and attentive service from the staff, I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. Thank you very much. However, I felt that seniors should be careful of the step in the bathroom.

This is my second stay. The location is excellent—close to Kyu-Karuizawa and within a minute’s walk to SAWAMURA. The Room shows its age, but it is well cleaned. It’s convenient to have a kitchen, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, and a microwave available at all times. It was nice to take a break with coffee or tea using the electric kettle, and even have some simple soup. There is also manga available for loan, which my friend really enjoyed. There’s a vending machine on the first floor where you can also buy beer, which was great. I think Foron offers great value for the price.

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

You can walk to both Karuizawa Station and Kumoba Pond. It’s a slightly retro Hotel, with no elevator, and the shower and hair dryer are standard. That said, it has a nostalgic charm that I really liked. Meals were served at seats overlooking the garden greenery, and it was comfortable even when dining alone. Of course, the food was delicious. The staff were also very pleasant.

The location was convenient and I had a great time. It was reasonably priced and I would like to use it again. Thank you very much.
