Although it was raining in Karuizawa and Lake Shiozawa, we had a wonderful time.The warmth of wood is not new, but it is a relaxing space.It was helpful that the bath had heating and drying facilities. The hot carpet in the living room is also nice.That's right. Although it is not the latest style, I feel that it is full of care and kindness.I can't finish the BBQ set. First, the two of us divided the fresh vegetables and meat into ZIP locks and took them home.The quality of the meat is also great! salt. pepper. I'm happy with the electric mill!A wasp appeared on the balcony, and a female employee chased it away. thank you very much.The refrigerator is a square box type, so it doesn't hold much.There is a microwave, tableware, and simple cooking available.I would like to come again

I stayed in a type D room on 9/9.10.The building is old, but the water area has been renovated and feels clean.However, the water pressure in the bathroom is weak, so it takes time to shampoo and wash your body.The room was too spacious for a couple to stay in, with a living room, a Japanese-style room, a loft, and a bedroom on the second floor, but when I searched for a room where you can smoke, this was the only one that came up, so I guess it can't be helped. and.As mentioned in the reviews, the BBQ dinner was so high quality that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it, as well as vegetables and 4 grilled rice balls. Raw vegetable salad.The sirloin steak and raw shiitake mushrooms are especially delicious! The BBQ sauce was so delicious that even I, who doesn't like meat, could enjoy it.I'll definitely buy the sauce if it's on sale.All four of the freshly baked breads for breakfast were delicious and I devoured them in no time.I'm not sure how long it's been there, but when I woke up a little after 5 a.m. and went to the living room, a large paper wasp was in my room.My husband gets scared because he gets extremely swollen from mosquito bites, there's no insecticide in the room, and the center house only opens at 7:30.There was a vape mat, but it would be helpful if you could also leave some insecticide just in case.This is also a memory that we laugh about when we get home.By the way, don't worry, my wife and I killed the bees by hitting them with slippers, wrapped them in a towel, put them in a plastic bag, tied them tightly, and put them in the trash can.

I used it for the first time after the Obon holidays. I don't think the prices are cheap since it's in Karuizawa, but the staff are very nice and will kindly explain anything you don't understand.The room has an air conditioner in the bed on the second floor, and a futon in the Japanese-style room on the first floor, so you can sleep in either. The pillow was good and not hard and it was comfortable to sleep on.There is shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the bath, and it is better to bring things to wash your body, face wash, makeup remover, lotion, and lotion. Everything else was done because I had the amenities.Heating, electric fan, and Katori mat available. Were there any insects in the room?The bread in the morning was really freshly baked and delicious. The menu looked so delicious that I wish I had ordered room service instead of going out to eat. There was a mini kitchen, plates, frying pans, dish detergent and sponges.It was my first time going to Karuizawa, so I didn't know what to expect, but I thought I would definitely use the service the next time I go, and I would like to take advantage of all the services they offer, have fireworks, and have a relaxing time.

I went to Karuizawa for the first time on a trip with friends. Of course, sightseeing in Karuizawa was fun, but the hotel here was amazing and it remains in my memory. Many heartwarming hospitality. A forest that gives you the feel of Karuizawa and the comfort of a cottage. And above all, there is a puzzle-solving challenge placed in the cottage. On the first night, I was busy sightseeing and couldn't solve the mystery. On the second night, let's clear the mystery before going home! My friends and I got excited and started. I started with a casual feeling that I would be able to solve it quickly, but it turned out to be quite elaborate and I had a really hard time. Before I knew it, I was solving the problem as hard as I could, with a map in hand, discussing ideas with my friends, and dividing up roles. I will never forget the sense of accomplishment and joy I felt when I finished solving everything! I had a lot of fun spending time at the hotel and was able to walk around solving puzzles. The questions change every year, so I'd like to try again for the next one! ! thank you very much!

I really liked it.It was my first time staying at this type of hotel and I would love to stay there again.I am in charge of facilities at a large inn, so I looked for different places to incorporate it and looked at how clean it was, and I was very satisfied.I couldn't solve the mystery, so I want to try again.

I used it during the Roadster Karuizawa meeting.For breakfast, we had freshly baked delicious bread delivered to our cottage.Also, the cottage was beautiful and I felt calm and at home.This time I was in a hurry so I didn't include dinner, but I thought I'd like to have a barbecue next time.

It was my first time staying there, but I was very satisfied ✨I went to the Asami Mitsuhiko Memorial Museum a few years ago, and I noticed that it was next to it, so I felt nostalgic.The freshly baked bread for breakfast was delicious.I regret not being able to solve the mystery in the end, so I would like to get revenge again.
