สถานีเรียวโงคุโจ × ที่พักสัมผัสธรรมชาติโรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

The surroundings were wonderful, and this has become a Hotel I’d love to stay at again. The walking paths were lovely, and my dog looked like they really enjoyed the walks. There’s also a veterinary clinic nearby, which was reassuring. We’ll be back. It rained on the day we left this time, so next time we hope for sunny weather… There also seem to be some great shops nearby, so I’d like to explore them.

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.

With the meticulous craftsmanship of a classic Hotel, everything—from the lobby and Room to the hallways and bath area—was luxuriously designed and truly magnificent. The staff were also very attentive, making this a stay I will remember for a lifetime. Since our Room was near the bath area, we could hear the boiler a bit early in the morning, but overall it is a wonderful Hotel. Thank you very much.

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!

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.

The rooms, terrace, and BBQ area were all very clean, and it was a wonderful Accommodation with thoughtful attention to detail. The grill we reserved in advance was perfectly prepared, and there was a great selection of insect repellent items, dog supplies, indoor games, and welcome drinks—our whole family was more than satisfied. We would love to stay again! Thank you so much!!!

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.

After touring the Komoro Distillery, we walked from Komoro Station to this Ryokan. The website said it was a 20-minute walk, but it took us about 30 minutes. We took a taxi on the way back. At the front desk, we were served plum soda and then shown to our Room. This time we stayed in a Room with a private indoor Onsen bath. It was a bit old, but very clean and well maintained. There is also a large public bath, but it is up quite a steep stone staircase, and my husband said it would be safer to use the bath in our Room instead—so we did. The Onsen left our skin feeling wonderfully smooth. I have had dinner at many Ryokan over the years, but every dish here was truly delicious. You could call it creative Japanese cuisine—both the presentation and flavors were excellent. They served salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish). I usually give ayu to my husband because of all the bones, but they told us you can even eat the bones in the head here, so I tried it for the first time—and really didn’t notice any bones at all. Because the food was so good, we also enjoyed it with their sake tasting set. Having an in-room bath meant we could enjoy it whenever we liked, which was wonderful. Breakfast included barley rice with grated yam (mugi-toro), grilled fish, ginger-flavored Onsen egg, and many other dishes—we enjoyed everything. A taxi to Komoro Station costs 1,000 yen, which is much better than walking for 30 minutes. It made me want to visit Komoro again next time as well.

We stayed to celebrate our dog’s anniversary trip. The Room was spacious and the garden was lovely, so we had a great time. We ordered an anniversary cake for our dog, but the staff said they failed to thaw it properly and it was mushy, so our dog didn’t eat it… However, they handled the situation appropriately. The disappointing points were that we were looking forward to the 6,600 yen anniversary cake, but it was small and the decoration wasn’t what we expected, so we don’t really recommend the dog cake. Also, there were a lot of weeds in the dog run and we couldn’t use it. Other than that, we were satisfied and had an enjoyable stay. Thank you very much.

A whole-house rental Accommodation in a designated Tangible Cultural Property. The place was spotless, the futons were fluffy and comfortable, and it was a relaxing space. It was very cozy. I rated the bath 3 because I didn’t use it. The bath seemed to have no issues at all in terms of size, but we love saunas, so we used a nearby day-use bathing Facility instead. It was a valuable experience that let us feel Japan’s good old days. Thank you very much.

Thank you for a very comfortable stay. We also appreciate the Room upgrade. It was a wonderful Accommodation in a great location (quiet and conveniently close to town), and pet-friendly Accommodations are hard to find. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

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.

I stayed the night before visiting a grave on the equinox holiday, and I truly appreciate your courteous assistance despite my late-night check-in. I stayed in the West Wing; you briefly have to go outside when using the passageway from the main building, so it was a bit cold, but acceptable. The Room was clean and a good size, and the soundproofing was excellent—although my Room faced the road, it was quiet and comfortable. The large public bath was also pleasant, though it is not a natural Onsen. Breakfast was enjoyable as well for a Business Hotel buffet. If I had to mention one drawback, it was that the parking area was hard to find. I used a lot a short distance away as instructed by the Hotel, but it seemed like there might also be parking behind the Hotel... Since it was still quite cold, I would have preferred to park as close to the Hotel as possible.

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!
