이와무라다역 × 눈 구경 목욕으로 인기 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

We stayed here for our 30th wedding anniversary. Surrounded by the forests of Miyota, the quiet Room was very comfortable even with the windows open. The bath, the meals—everything was wonderful, and what made it all possible was the pleasant hospitality of the staff. Next time, we would like to visit during the season of fresh greenery and try the Italian cuisine. It became a truly memorable anniversary.

While looking for an Accommodation where we could stay with our dog, we discovered “Wa no Ie” and stayed there as a family. It’s surprisingly easy to find pet-friendly Hotels, 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 harmony between the building and the natural surroundings was even more beautiful than in the pictures. The greenery visible through the windows and the way light streamed 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 for us, so both our child and dog 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. Away from the bustle of town, it felt like we were the only ones in the forest—something I personally loved. 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 lounged with us—it was 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. A private rental that offers nature, luxury, and an environment where you can stay comfortably with your pet is hard to find. 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.

I chose this Accommodation because I was very interested in the open-air bath accessed by the mountain railway. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up using it three times during my stay. Since it was Monday right after the holiday period, it was very quiet, which was great. The Facility has the charm of a classic Onsen Accommodation, and the guest rooms have been beautifully renovated, making it extremely relaxing. I would love to stay again.

Dogs can take a relaxing stroll in the spacious garden. It was reassuring to be able to keep an eye on them, and we also enjoyed the setup where they could feel like they were having a bath. On top of that, dogs stay for free—truly appreciated. The bedding was very comfortable, and the kitchen with a view of the TV was spotless; everything was so clean that we’d love to come again. I almost don’t want it to become too popular after posting this, but it’s an Accommodation I highly recommend. We had no trouble shopping nearby either.

Stayed in mid-January. Thank you for the thoughtful amenities such as rice, sparkling water, eggs, coffee, and seasonings. As mentioned in some reviews, the sauna temperature felt a bit lacking. It might have been due to the winter season, but it was slightly disappointing. Additionally, the mirroring function on the projector didn’t work well—possibly due to poor Wi-Fi connection. However, the room, kitchen, and location were excellent! I would love to stay again.

It felt like an Accommodation focused on visiting nearby public baths, and the staff were very kind, which left a great impression. The canned beer and highballs available for purchase at the front desk were also reasonably priced. That said, a few things stood out: - I assume the Onsen is naturally low-temperature, but the open-air bath felt lukewarm. Since it was midsummer, I apologize if that temperature was intentional. - The Room with a private open-air bath was spacious and wonderful, but there was no wash bucket or chair for the bath, no sugar or milk/creamer for coffee, and no glass beer tumbler. It was a bit inconvenient. - The Wi-Fi only worked near the Room entrance. What impressed me most this time was the live performance by volunteers after dinner. From a large song list, they played our requested songs on saxophone, piano, and percussion—it was truly excellent and very moving.
