The Engawa Nest Karuizawa

We had a great time.

Thanks to the very detailed videos provided in advance on directions and how to open and close the door, we arrived and checked in smoothly. The building was even more spacious and open than we expected, and it was a clean, pleasant space. We could also feel the owner’s sense of style throughout, which made our stay very comfortable. In particular, the views from the living room and bathroom were breathtaking. The consent form with detailed house rules clearly reflected the intention to have only guests who will respect good manners use the property, which also gave us peace of mind. One small thing we noticed was that we couldn’t find cooking utensils such as chopsticks for cooking, a ladle, or a spatula. *We may have simply overlooked them. Although it’s located in a quiet forest setting, it’s also very convenient—just a short drive downhill brings you close to a large supermarket. We’d love to stay again if we have the chance.
