Le Grand Kyu Karuizawa (Granbell Hotels & Resorts)

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.

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 spacemade 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.
