Old Karuizawa Hotel Shinonome

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.

Since I only needed a place to sleep, this was more than enough. The bed was fluffy, and there were six kinds of free drinks available on the floor. The nearest convenience store is about 500 meters away and takes around a 5-minute walk.
