Hotels With Gym in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

A perfect experience! A forest resort with an absolutely stunning environment! A well-deserved summer retreat! The hotel is surrounded by woods, quiet and incredibly therapeutic. Hot springs, a swimming pool, and a gym are all available, and the children's playroom is a major plus – it's the top choice for family trips. While the breakfast variety isn't huge and there are bound to be some small insects outdoors in the summer, these minor issues are completely acceptable in such a natural setting. The service is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the overall value for money is superb. I'll definitely be back!

This hotel is super convenient, right across from JR Nagano Station, making it easy to go shopping or visit Zenkoji Temple. They even gave us a free one-day bus pass! It’s a great hotel, perfect for travelers. Just a heads up, Nagano Prefecture now charges an additional 200 JPY per person for the accommodation tax.

I initially booked three nights and loved it so much that I extended my stay by another night. This hotel's Italian restaurant is considered one of the best in Karuizawa, always fully booked. Reservations are definitely required. Breakfast is also served in shifts; they'll call you when your table is ready. Both the pizza and salads are incredibly authentic. And each person gets a huge, delicious apple for breakfast!

We stayed in a cabin in Karuizawa for 4 nights with our little southerner (a playful internet slang for travelers from southern China). The main goal was to let the kids (and myself) experience a true autumn cabin vibe since they had never seen autumn red leaves before. We got to see the foliage and collect chestnuts! **On the smell:** Absolutely no musty odor! Upon walking in, there was a lovely natural pine wood scent—just like a cabin we stayed in previously in Hangzhou. After the first night, we got used to it and felt extremely comfortable. **Room and Details:** The room is very spacious. We requested a family-friendly setup in advance, and when we checked in, the beds had already been pushed together, complete with a bed guard and a stepping stool for the bathroom. At the end of October, outdoor temperatures dropped to 4–5°C at night, but the indoor heating was fantastic (23–25°C), keeping us super cozy. After the kids fell asleep, I could relax in the living room with a small drink while scrolling on my phone (there's a FamilyMart right next to the hotel lobby). The only minor drawback is that the cabin isn't ideal for very tall people; the living room beams are a bit low, so anyone over 1.8 meters needs to watch their head when walking by. **Location and Transportation:** Very close to the West Wing lobby, just a few minutes' walk. The Chinese-speaking receptionist was exceptionally kind and even told us we could call for a shuttle if pushing the stroller was inconvenient. However, we mostly strolled around with the stroller to enjoy the scenery. **Traveling with Kids:** There are chestnut trees right outside the entrance of the West Wing lobby, and the kids had a blast gathering chestnuts. The hotel is super close to the outlet mall, making it convenient to walk or take the shuttle bus. We flexibly planned our 4 days based on the weather: on sunny days, we visited the hotel's ”Asobi no Mori” (Forest of Play), Yukawa Park, and Yazaki Park; on rainy days, we headed straight to the outlet and the indoor kids' playground. The hotel breakfast was hearty and varied enough that we didn't get tired of it over 4 days. The whole family was thoroughly satisfied!

Continuing the excellent service and warm hospitality of the Tokyu chain, the front desk team is fluent in English, Japanese, and Mandarin. They are extremely language-friendly, and their service makes you feel right at home! The relaxing mountain views from the lobby windows are wonderful and soothing. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and the overall experience in the private hot spring rooms is fantastic. I will definitely stay here again given the chance!

The Hakuba Hotel prices are generally on the higher side, but this one offers pretty good value for money. It's a room over 40 square meters, perfect for a family of four, with two beds and a tatami area. You just need to lay out the tatami futon yourself. There's a free shuttle to Hakuba ski resort, though the schedule is a bit limited.

Great! The breakfast is rich and distinctive. It's a bit far from JR station, but there's a shuttle bus. High value for money, but the surroundings are a bit remote, perfect for tourists who like peace and quiet. The convenience store is about 1 KM away from the hotel.

This is a belated review, but I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff at the East Wing, especially Zhang Wei Wei. I traveled to Karuizawa with my 80-year-old parents and 12-year-old son, and we had a lot of luggage. On the morning we were returning to Tokyo, I was really dreading how we would manage with all our bags. As we were waiting for the shuttle bus with our luggage, Ms. Zhang Wei Wei approached us and proactively asked if we needed a special private car to take us. I was instantly overwhelmed with emotion because this was exactly what I needed most at that moment. We nodded vigorously and thanked her profusely. She drove us to Karuizawa train station, and it was then that we learned she had specially arranged this private car for us because she saw my parents were elderly and we had so much luggage. She was truly like an angel sent to help us. Thank you, Zhang Wei Wei. May we all be warm-hearted people who spread love. 💕

Everything you expect of a 5 star stay, Curio Karuizawa delivered. From fluffy duvets, a superb hospitality and concierge team who went above and beyond to recommend sightseeing visits to local attractions complete with assistance with taxi bookings, delicious breakfast and in-room snacks, the hotel delivered. Only minuses are that the central heating was a bit warm even when tuned to it 21 degrees and the decor is a little dated (but still well maintained). Overall, I enjoyed my stay. Thank you team Curio for taking such good care of us!

Le Grand Karuizawa Hotel & Resort is a perfect place for great views, relaxation and luxury retreat. We stayed on the top of the resort where the view of the Asama Mountain is breathtaking. The room is spacious but cozy. The dinners were very good. We stayed two nights (half board), the two fine-dining French dinners with local ingredients we had were superb. The courses served at the dinners didn’t have any repeat. I will definitely come here again for other seasons.
