We stayed in a Courtyard Deluxe Twin Room with a balcony. The autumn leaves had not yet turned, but we were blessed with clear weather and felt soothed by the dappled sunlight on the balcony. The room felt spacious, and after taking an early-morning stroll around Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza and returning, we cut the limes prepared in the cabinet and enjoyed them with Perrier, relaxing until checkout.
We booked a plan with breakfast included and could choose room service, but we were told the half-buffet style offered more variety, so we went to the restaurant and chose Eggs Benedict as our main dish.
The SILENT SPA (men’s bath) was quiet—perhaps because of the time of day—and just as its name suggests, we were able to unwind in a calm atmosphere under softly dimmed lighting. Also, since we traveled by train, the shuttle service to/from Karuizawa Station was extremely helpful.
