I'm not used to sleeping on Japanese tatami, and the room doesn't have a bathroom for taking a shower. You have to go to the large bathhouse, but fortunately the bathing facilities are pretty good.

A Japanese-style resort hotel with a strong nostalgic feel. Although the facilities are old, they are very clean. The rooms are very large. The only problem is that there is no independent shower in the room, which is a little inconvenient. Overall, it is very comfortable and relaxing.

The location is good, about 13 minutes walk from the station. There are supermarkets, coffee shops, and bookstores nearby. The hotel can rent bicycles. It is very convenient for people who don't drive to come to Karuizawa to ride and walk on the weekend. It feels good to live in this location at this price.
Before it was converted into a hotel, this building should have been a rest house for its employees by a certain company. The equipment is relatively old, but clean and sanitary. There is a toilet in the room but only a washbasin and no bathroom. You have to go to the large public bath on the first floor to take a bath. Although the large public bath on the first floor is not a hot spring, it is quite comfortable to soak in it. There is also a sauna room inside.
I didn't book breakfast at the hotel. I rented a bicycle from the front desk in the morning. I rode a bicycle to Kumoba Pond to listen to the birds singing, and then went to SAWAMURA in the old Karuizawa for breakfast. It was very good.

The location is very close to the outlet and the station, and it is also very convenient to walk to Yuncai Pond in 15 minutes.

It's about ten minutes' walk from the station and easy to find. The room is clean, the Japanese style room is large enough to accommodate three to four family members, and the large bath is very good.

It is a 15-minute walk from Karuizawa Station. The room is large and the tatami is very comfortable to sleep on😌
The hotel has a bicycle rental service, which charges 1100/day by the hour or the whole day. It seems that there are no electric bicycles. I went to Hoshino Resorts and the Plateau Church. For uphill and downhill trips, it is best to choose electric bicycles.
There is no bathroom in the room, so you need to go to the large bathroom to take a shower
All in all, it’s not a bad choice if you come to Karuizawa.

The hotel's location is not far from JR Karuizawa Station. There are multiple parking spaces for self-driving tours. The environment is quiet and tranquil. There is also a hot spring. The price/performance ratio is very high. We arrived early to store our luggage. When we checked in, our luggage had been put in the room. It was very nice.

Only basic services can be provided. There are no staff at the front desk to greet guests at night. If you need assistance, you can only call them for help.

The hotel is very far from the JR station. There is no shuttle bus service. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to walk. After checking out, there is no free luggage storage. Each piece of luggage is charged 550 Yen. There is no bathing place in the room. If you want to take a bath, you must I went to a hot spring, but the space was very small, with only two hair dryers and three seats. I have been to many Japanese hotels, and this one is the worst.

The hotel room is large, but there is no elevator to the second floor, which is inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage. There is a large bathhouse, where a bath can relieve physical and mental fatigue.
The transportation is not convenient, it takes 12-15 minutes from the station to the hotel. But for the price it's worth it.
