I visit Lipi every year during the autumn leaves season. A reasonable hotel near Kumoba Pond and Kyukaruizawa. In terms of location and price, it is by far the best value and comfortable hotel in Kyukaruizawa.

When I made a reservation from a certain travel service site in July, it was free, but I suddenly received a call today."Parking fees will be charged from September 1st"and unilateral notification.Isn't it a good idea to apply the terms of the contract as they are? When I asked about it, I had to wait for a while.Well, it's okay this time, but next time you won't have to pay.↑This is an undramatized tone.The female employee spoke in a way that made her say things like "It's okay this time," or "I gave it to you for free."There's no way there'll be a next time with this kind of response like, ``I'll pay next time.'' I'll consider canceling this time as well, and if there's something better, I'll go for it.Anyway, I got tired of being rude and having to deal with phone calls from higher ups.Isn't it natural to follow the terms of the contract?

It was good pointYou can walk to both Karuizawa Station and Kyu-Kei Chuan, and there is a nearby station called Shindo, so it's convenient.Super rich amenitiesThe room is very spacious and the refrigerator has two doors.Bad pointsThe building itself and inside are dingy.Not suitable for carrying suitcases as there are only stairs.The bed is hard and the pillows are high making it very difficult to sleep.The front desk was absent about 3 times out of 5 times.There are almost no street lights and the road at night is completely dark in the forest, which is really scary.There has been a lot of noise since morning, whether it's construction noise or the vacuum cleaner noise.

Really satisfied. Book a room through Jalan and pay for the bathroom for ¥4,000. Rent a bicycle for 24 hours for ¥550. Breakfast and dinner are both ¥1,000 and delicious. Highly recommend the Japanese hamburger. The meat is large and juicy. The location is perfect: 11 minutes' walk from Karuizawa Station and 2 minutes' bike ride from Kumoba Pond. If you have a bicycle, you can go to Nakakaruizawa, Lake Shiozawa, or even Minami Karuizawa. There are many green trails nearby, which are quiet and comfortable, perfect for cycling.The room has a kettle, TV, refrigerator, hair dryer, table and chairs, mirror, reading lamp, air conditioner, adjustable ceiling light, free drinks, and free toiletries. complete. There is also a large public bath on the first floor. Great satisfaction.
