I visited for 4 nights and 5 days! Thank you for letting me stay in your cute room ♪ Breakfast was very delicious with hot sandwiches, homemade freshly baked bread, side dishes, and fruit ♪ I enjoyed two types of private baths, and I slept soundly at night. Everything about the pension, from the outside to the inside, is cute and warm, and I think it's especially popular with women. It was a wonderful space that felt like entering the world of Ghibli ♪ Thank you very much for seeing us off at the end. The owner and his wife are both wonderful people and I was able to spend my time there with peace of mind. I really didn't want to go home. I'll come back later!

I had a great vacation!Dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The carrot soup in particular had a good texture and I devoured it in one go. There are two private baths, and you can bathe in both to warm your body and soul. Above all, the host was very personable and very kind. I would definitely like to visit again!

My family of 3 stayed here for 2 nights during the Obon holidays.The owner's personality was great.I was impressed by the kind and thorough explanations and hospitality.The freshly baked bread for breakfast is really delicious, and the fresh fruit is also very satisfying. The two private baths are also wonderful and complete. I am very grateful that they provided a chair in the bathroom for my family member who is disabled.I would like to use it again.

It was good last time, so I repeated it. Both the food and the baths are great. The owner's customer service is also wonderful, and since I work in the customer service industry myself, I would like to imitate him, but I probably won't be able to imitate him lol.

I visited during the off-season. This is the second time. There are several luxury hotels in Karuizawa, but it is a relaxing place that you must visit on the last day of your trip. The host, the bath, and the food are all great. The red wine was also delicious. The room also had floor heating and was very comfortable. When I go to Karuizawa again this year, I would like to take it easy on the last day.

It's quite a walk from Karuizawa Station, but it's a quiet place surrounded by villas. It was an inn that the owner was particular about.

The food was very delicious, especially the carrot soup, which had a rich taste like carrot puree.The private bath, which was comparable to the public bath at a poor inn, was also very comfortable, and the breakfast bread was delicious. Although I wasn't able to finish all my food, they even provided a bag to take home with me, and I think it's a great place to stay, along with the host's pleasant customer service.
