"I have been to Karuizawa many times, and this trip in late autumn and early winter was very impressive. We booked a trip on a whim, which made our trip feel so wonderful😊
Karuizawa Hoshinoya Hotel is worth staying in. The one-to-one butler went to the room to explain the various services of the hotel in detail, and the experience was particularly comfortable.
The hotel is very large, with different types of rooms scattered on the mountain. There is a small stream crossing the mountain and running to the distance. The sound of running water is like beautiful music surrounding the ears. The water wave room is right by the stream and is also the most expensive room. The lobby is connected to the restaurant, with spacious and high-ceilinged large glass. When eating breakfast, looking at the autumn scenery outside the window, it is really worth it! There is a small bar, next to which is a row of lazy sofas, coffee, various Japanese teas, and snacks are available at will. Champagne has a time period in the afternoon, and guests staying in the hotel can also enjoy it at will. The details are really comfortable. There are two hot springs in Hoshino Hotel. The Hoshino Hot Spring is relatively large and famous in Karuizawa. It is open to the public at the hotel entrance (free for hotel guests). There is a smaller hot spring inside the hotel. Hotel guests can go there at any time by pressing the password. I went there to experience it. There were few people and the feeling of comfort was beyond words.
The scenery of Hoshinoya Karuizawa Hotel is really beautiful. It is so beautiful. There is a view at every step. The air is very fresh. I really want to be drunk in the autumn scenery and don't want to wake up. This is a hotel I still want to stay in if I have the chance.
Finally, I still want to say that the world is worth it~"
"I am very happy to book this traditional Japanese hotel full of warmth. The hotel is very retro and has a sense of historical precipitation. It feels warm and warm when you walk in. It is a very traditional Japanese hotel. Although the alms are a bit dated, the environment is clean and the service staff is enthusiastic. The hotel is conveniently located at the end of the commercial street of the old Karuizawa. The hotel has its own hot spring, but we do n’t have time to soak, but we used the bathrobes and socks in the hotel because we do n’t know how to wear them. After talking to the front desk, they also called an elderly service staff to help We wore a yukata and tied a beautiful bow. We also dressed beautifully to eat their kaiseki dishes, which tasted great, but the girls really enjoyed the set meal, especially wearing kimono and tied It's too tight. Sleeping at night is also very quiet, quiet in the middle of the night, anyway, you will choose to stay next time. In addition, the autumn of Karuizawa is really beautiful!"
"The hotel is located quite far from Karuizawa JR station. There is a pickup bus service every half an hour outside the south exit of the station.
However the bus is very small and can be quite full at times, causing people to rush onto the bus. It would be better if the hotel could set up a better queue-up system or adjust the frequency of the pickup bus service.
By the way you can deposit luggage at the customer centre next to the pickup bus stop and have them transferred to the hotel for you. I thought the hotel did not advertise the service enough as it is very useful and effective in creating more passenger space in the pickup bus.
Breakfast at the hotel is not buffet style, so went to the Prince Karuizawa West hotel to have breakfast instead.
During non-peak hours the hotel offers individual transportation for free so that is definitely a plus.
The Momiji hot spring is definitely a must-visit. Clean, modern, hygienic, exactly what I look for in a hot spring.
Overall service is excellent."

"Hotel is in a great location, about 700m straightline walk from karuizawa train station. Room is compact but you have everything and is clean, amenities are provided at the lobby and you can take as needed, such as toner, cleanser and cream, hair brush, toothbrush, there's even body scrub. There's drinks provided for guests, you can have tea or coffee at all times. Hotel breakfast comes in brunch menu, food is nice and fresh. There's a also a lot of restaurants along this street so not to worry."
"The loft suite is warm and cozy, the boss is very kind, and the location is very quiet. The room is on the upper and lower floors. The split level makes the activity area larger. Sleeping upstairs is quieter and less likely to be disturbed by people downstairs."
"The hotel is located on a remote mountain, more than ten minutes from the center. The rooms are a bit far away, but fortunately they are clean and hygienic, and the space is very sufficient. The most special thing is that you can use the small cable car to go up to the hot spring area. What is surprising is that the hot spring area has a very good environment and scenery. Beautiful, the spring water is very comfortable"
"I stayed with my family. It was a perfect hotel for families with elementary school students.
In the meal, there are many things that children like, and hungry children can eat to their heart's content. I was grateful for adults, not only for meals but also for all-you-can-drink alcohol, so I can drink as much as I like without making extra accounting.
The bath has a large bath (of course the scale is small)
The room can sleep in one bed per person and I am grateful to rest my tired body.
Also, at the time of check-in, all the adult rates were set on the reservation site, but when I found out on the day, they fixed the setting and made it cheaper than planned!
I want to use it again."
"Lovely villa for family visitors wanting to see Karuizawa! The location is fantastic, very close to all the main spots of Karuizawa, the outlet, the little village, some very nice restaurants are nearby as well. The villa itself is lovely and spacious, the lighting is really good, and you can truly relax and enjoy the area. The facilities are clean and modern, you can cook, clean, do laundry and everything in this villa. The only downside would be having only one bathroom in the entire villa, the bathroom is great with a nice jacuzzi, but it might not be as convenient if there are more people staying in the villa."

GGuest UserDefinitely the best hotel in Karuizawa! Exceptional service and beautiful accommodations that have made our experience truly memorable! The professional and caring nature of your staff has been remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of our stay feels personalized and welcoming.
The hotel's design and upkeep are also commendable. The elegant decor and well-maintained facilities have set a perfect backdrop for our romantic getaway, enhancing our overall enjoyment and comfort.
GGuest UserLocation is great, free shuttle bus between station and hotel. Also easy to get to the outlet. Breakfast is highly recommended, can choose between Japanese and western one, both are delicious. Nearby is the ski park, can enjoy whole day skiing there. Onsen is great after whole day exercise, quickly relieve tiredness. Highly recommended!!
GGuest UserLocated within 5 min from Karuizawa station, it has a huge Family Mart right opposite. The walk towards old ginza street took about 15-20min but was very comfortable given the cool weather, you would also be able find small hidden eateries along the way. Lobby came with an amenities bar, this hotel also interestingly houses a library on the second floor. The room I booked has an excessively huge bathroom and did not come with a writing desk. However, the room and stay was very, very comfortable and would definitely recommend it to any travellers to Karuizawa.
GGuest UserThis is a low-key luxury hotel, 10 minutes away from Karuizawa JR Station by hotel shuttle bus, and a taxi cost 1,300 yen, about 65 yuan. I chose it because the hotel has a history and is also the favorite holiday of the Beatles lead singer Lennon. British service is everywhere. The breakfast is very delicious, and the outdoor scene is even more first-class! I like this hotel very much, full of details, and I will choose it again in the future.
Ccloudy moonI Like the cleanliness of the hotel. Room is spacious. The front desk staff could communicate in English. Good if you drive there. Else, it’s a distance from the train station. St Paul church is just opposite of the hotel. There’s also a Japanese shin nearby. There are good bakery shops nearby for breakfast. We were there on 2 weekdays and there’s not many people and not many shops open. The restaurant next to it serves good pasta and pizza. We had our 2 dinners settled there. Karuizawa is a beautiful place. You may have a morning jog nearby and it’s so serene running around.
GGuest UserGreat cottage experience in Karuizawa, lovely ambiance and very peaceful to walk around the grounds during the day. We were lucky enough to also see some cherry blossoms still in bloom despite going in mid-April! Service is also great with transport services to the cottages. Only troublesome thing is that you'll need to plan your time well to take the internal shuttle bus back from the shopping plaza/hotel lobby as it comes every 10-20 min!
GGuest UserStunning most beautiful time here ! Staff were great help & friendly . Shuttle service on time . Gorgeous rooms & comfortable bedding & absolutely clean . Wonderful experience.
GGuest UserI was worried of the quality due to how cheap the booking was. But I was genuinely surprised how neat the building, lobby, rooms and bathrooms were when we got there. The place was convenient and close to the Outlet and convenience stores (by car) I like how comfort inn is very modern too as they have menu/further info that you can access via QR code once you are in the room. Even if you also place do not disturb on your door, you will still receive fresh towels/linens outside your door. Overall it was a pleasant stay. For those wondering, the front desk is 24/7, so you can check out as early as 3am. The only sad thing is I couldn’t bring my pet. I hope they can lift that policy in the future. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
FF43Room is spacious with mini pantry and cooking facilities. But the renovation is a bit old-fashioned. Some renovation may be needed. Overall environment and facilities are quite impressive based on what I paid.
堇堇茉Although it is far from the station, it is very convenient to have someone to pick it up by car. In the morning, you will be booked with you to determine the time to go.
The only inconvenience is that there is no supper in my order. There are no convenience stores around.
Other play facilities and hot spring bath facilities are ok
The prices are also very clean. I also arranged a large room for me alone
I ate breakfast at the hotel in the morning and loved waking up in the forest early in the morning.
Reservations must be made in advance (Japanese and English)
Waiting for pick-up at the general parking lot at Nakaruizawa Station, there will be signs on the car
