I stayed there for my girlfriend's birthday.The surprise cake and bouquet, which we decided upon in consultation with the staff in advance, was a great success.As I felt from the meeting, the staff's response was excellent and I was able to spend my time comfortably.This is the hotel you want to stay at when you go to Karuizawa.

This is my first time using this hotel.Everything was stylish and I was impressed.The course meal for dinner was expensive, but it can't be helped because of the location.However, the scenery outside was also beautiful.There was also a bonfire corner, which was also nice.The security of the bath was good and I was able to take a long bath.The pajamas were comfortable and I slept well.This is a hotel I would like to visit again.

The hotel I visited the other day was close to an outlet and was in a very convenient location for shopping. The entire hotel is very fashionable and the stylish space is impressive. All the staff members were very lively and I was very impressed to see them working with smiles and enthusiasm. Although they are kind, they also have a cool and professional feel to them, and their professional responses are wonderful. The lobby was also spacious and had a relaxing atmosphere.

The hotel has a novel design and is a very well-designed resort hotel. Whether you are sitting outdoors enjoying the scenery and enjoying the breeze, or sitting in the lobby, it is very relaxing. Although the hot spring equipment is not very big, the lighting design and the use of wood are very impressive. Feel comfortable.Most of the hotels in Karuizawa are a bit old, so I’m really happy to see such a new hotel.

The room on the lower floor was very nice with a Karuizawa-like appearance.There is a fireplace in the center of the lobby, which is spacious and has allowed us to relax many times.I was also happy that there was a large public bath that I could take a bath at any time from morning to night.It's a little far from the station, so I used the hotel's shuttle bus or a taxi, but it only took about 10 minutes to get there, so I thought the location was good.

We passed by last summer and will come here next time! Everything was better than I expected♪ The atmosphere was great, the staff were very responsive, the large public bath with open-air bath was great, the quality of the attached Italian restaurant was also very high, especially the room service breakfast. The lanai, combined with the nature of Karuizawa, is exceptional, and it is a hotel that I would definitely like to return to again 👍️
