The freshly prepared European-style high-end cuisine is delicious and the service is very friendly. The rooms and large baths are very comfortable, and the Karuizawa forest can be seen outside the window. It is a good hotel that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

There was a banner for day trip bathing and lunch right next to Asama Farm, so I was curious and decided to go there. A sommelier was in charge of the hall and gave us detailed information about the cuisine.I had fried shrimp, beef stew, and tonkatsu, and they were all really delicious!If it was in the old light area, it would probably cost twice as much.Also, the salad dressing was delicious, and the pickled vegetables that came with it were delicious with a hint of ginger.I also used the bath, but it was nice to have a sauna. We are looking forward to the completion of the open-air bath in October.Addendum 1: I visited again during the three-day weekend in October 2023! Unfortunately, the pork cutlet set and fried shrimp set were sold out, so I had beef stew, curry, and roast beef bowl.As a result of eating all kinds, the fried shrimp set was the winner for me!Addendum 2: Revisited in December 2023. Lunch was not open in winter, but the open-air bath was completed! There is also an outside air bath space, and the sauna → outside air bath → open-air bath was also very nice ^ ^Addendum 3: Revisited in May 2024. Unfortunately, it seems that they are currently not open for lunch. It is undecided whether he will do it in the future. It was really delicious, so I really hope it reopens.

The exterior looked like some kind of facility building, so I thought I was mistaken, but the room was spacious and clean, and the food was delicious and the price was cheap.The customer service at the front desk was polite, and I could tell that the customer service at the restaurant was very nice and personable.This time, my husband and I came to enjoy golf, and we would definitely like to use this place again when we have a round in Karuizawa.Thank you very much♪

〈If you go by public transportation〉If you use Kusagaru Kotsu, it takes about 34 minutes by bus from Karuizawa Station. Get off at Asama Farm and walk for about 5 minutes. If you go by bus, check the time before going as there are not many buses.There are no convenience stores or shops nearby, so if you're taking the bus, it's best to make some purchases before going. There are no alcohol vending machines either.If you don't have dinner, there are limited places to eat, and they close early, so be careful. The steak for dinner was quite delicious, so I personally recommend it.The facility as a whole was clean, probably because it had been renovated, and the rooms were spacious. The staff are also very kind.The bath is not that big, but it has a small sauna and an open-air pot bath, so it's definitely better than a room bath.Asama Farm, which is a 5-minute walk away, is spacious and has a great view, so please come visit (^^)
