“Our two-bedroom suite was excellent and perfectly suited for our family of four adults, including our elderly father.

“I stay in the hotel on 8/2 with my friends, overall, the hotel is really nice and comfortable, the staffs are helpful too.I left my Airpod2 in the room, after I contact the hotel through email, they help me find out the Airpod and send it back to me by mail. Recommend this hotel for all people who come to Karuizawa.”
“The view from the room is amazing! Huge twin size beds. If you need to use hot spring you will have to take their shuttle bus (twice every hour) to the west or east branch. Nothing nearby. Just the resort itself. Recommend traveling with a car.”
