This was one of the more memorable experiences and stays I've ever had - the loveliest even. Everything from the decor to the hospitality of the entire staff to the food to the meditation bath was a testament to intentionality. The attention to detail and storytelling of the omakase dinner at the restaurant was my absolute favorite part of our entire stay. Can't wait to return, hopefully for many years to come!

The staff were excellent—friendly and helpful. The location was convenient enough, though a bit far from town. It’s best if you have your own car rather than rely on public transportation.

The hotel itself is excellent! We loved our stay. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing stay surrounded by natural beauty. Only downside is there aren’t many amenities within walking distance besides a little tourist area. There is easy access to the local bus if you don’t mind spending 30 minutes going into town.

HOSHINOYA Group is famous for its uniqueness from its surrounds to design and architecture of the hotel compound and its room. Karuizawa is an example of this blueprint.

MS

The view is excellent, service is good, meals are yammy, every thing is attractive for next stay. Except a stuff in the front desk is not friendly to new visitor. She missed my booking and ask to contact with Hotel.com strongly at that time even I show her Hote.com confirmation letter and would like to pay for a new room till her college found my reservation. It's great that I got my room after 30 minutes in communication with her. Otherwise, I cannot image heavy snowing and darker outside without a room for stay. It's my first visit Karuizawa and first time to Hoshinoya Karuizawa. Amazing front dest service!
