Hotels near Karuizawa Wild Bird Sanctuary, Karuizawa

The town is known for being chic as it counts celebrities, artists, actors and musicians as its residents. The hotel is in that line. The entrance itself is somewhat muted in tone. But staff are warm and friendly. They helped carry our luggage to the second floor annexe (which still has no elevator) and then back down when we checked out. The room was the most spacious (ok, we were upgraded) and it had a humifier. Toiletries were good quality. The restaurant itself is a good French one. It's too bad we could not sample it but we had a taste of it at breakfast. The pastries were so good we ended up asking for more croissant and bread. I learnt later that many of its cooks have gone on to be chefs all over Japan. There is a small gift shop of some jams and honey made on the hotel grounds. Yes, highly recommended.

It is easy to understand because it is close to Karuizawa Station and is located on the main street. However, it is difficult to understand the entrance of the hotel, but I wondered if I should enter from the restaurant. Only standard double rooms are available for dogs. It's pretty narrow. It feels like a stylish business hotel. The bed is comfortable. There is a large dog gauge toilet sheet and a butt wipe. The bathroom and toilet are in the same room, but they are large. I was interested in the toilet. Should I remove the toilet seat when cleaning? The amenities were in a cute cloth bag for two people, but there was no toothbrush in one cloth bag. There are 2 bottles of mineral water in the wine cellar. It's a pity that there is no pot. It would be nice to have a water server that can produce hot water without a pot. There are 2 coin laundry machines. Ice maker, juice and alcohol are sold by themselves. The restaurant is delicious, but the amount of dinner and morning is large, and the contents are covered, so it seems that you will get tired of staying for consecutive nights or using it frequently ... The taste is strong (good compatibility with alcohol) Even for people with small children I was there, but maybe my kids aren't likely to eat it. Dessert also has an adult taste. The restaurant is very cold near the entrance and on the window side and requires a coat. All the staff are kind. It is cheap considering the food and convenience for the price. Especially recommended for those who want to enjoy the whole of Karuizawa and enjoy Spanish cuisine. I want to use it again.

We stayed here for 2 nights straight from Narita. It was easy enough to navigate from the station with 2 big suitcases and 2 small children at night. It was relatively close to 2 convenience stores so we could easily stock up on supplies. We booked the family room but I was a bit disappointed that whilst there was a separate tatami area meant for the kids there was no bedding to speak of. Even pillows or blankets. So they squeezed in with us in the beds. Otherwise the room itself was nice and compact but not too cramped due to the additional tatami area. The bath tub was a nice touch and well enjoyed by the kids. The breakfast spread was small but delicious. There was a games time in the evenings where there was sometimes popcorn or other snacks and drinks available. The staff were very helpful and friendly with sightseeing options and bus schedules despite their limited English. We felt very welcomed here.

The hotel is just a 5 minute walk from Karuizawa station. Take the north exit on the bridge/walkway after coming up from Shinkansen platform, it's the left. There's a tourist info with helpful people at the end of the corridor, and an escalator next to it. Once you come out, with your back to the station, walk straight down the road, and take left at the first traffic light, near the Shell station. The hotel is opposite Family Mart. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was generous-sized with an ante-room which has a fridge, some storage cupboards and the main room is nice and big with a good-sized bed. They provide 2 bottles of water. You can take day trips to Naka Karuizawa, Shiraiito Falls among other destinations using the bus service outside the station. It's a lot easier if you have Suica card or you will need to carry many 1000 yen notes. On the way back you can you can stop off at Kyu Karuizawa and walk the streets of Old Ginza. It can also be reached by foot, takes about 25-30 minutes.

West side was around 10 min walk from the outlet mall and took us nearly 30 mins to walk (with a kid) to the East Side Snow Park. Room was just okay for its price - lobby looks better and newer than the room which was a bit old fashioned, yellowish (without a full mirror too) and not spacious. We drove there. For this price point, we would try other hotels next time, like Hilton in the area, given we need to walk a long way from West Side to everywhere, even to the hotel lobby and car park.

The location is excellent, next to the ski resort, and very close to shopping malls and stations. You can choose to walk or take the shuttle bus. There are staff at the front desk who can speak English and Chinese, so you can check in easily even if you don't speak Japanese.

The room is not small, clean and tidy, the bed is large, and the facilities are complete. The surrounding environment is like a natural park. It is a bit far from the JR station, less than three kilometers. There are convenience stores, barbecue restaurants and steakhouses around, and the inner and outer ring bus stops are not far away. However, there is only one bus every hour, so you have to plan your trip on time. The overall feeling of accommodation is good, and the breakfast is also OK.

We stayed for 2 nights this time on our second stay. 1We stayed in a family room for one night but it was very comfortable with ample size to spend with family 3 people. From the balcony you can see the golf course and Mt. Asama surrounded by nature, and your heart is calm. The hotel here is great with hot springs in the annex. It is very pleasant to be soaked in a bathtub while watching Mt. Asama during the daytime with good weather. The breakfast buffet was firmly equipped with infection measures and I was able to eat with peace of mind. I like it so delicious that fruit juice is added. The hotel staff is soft and only 々 who greets you when you pass. I was able to stay very comfortable.

Two adults and five children (13,11,9,5,0 age) A total of 7 people stayed in 2 rooms. I was planning to just sleep on the way to my destination, so the price was given priority first. After making a reservation, it seems that the radio waves are difficult to reach and difficult to understand, so I received a polite contact from the person in charge several times. (It seems accurate if it is Google Maps.) The arrival time was close to 22:00, but the person in charge was waiting for me to illuminate the surrounding area with the car light, so I was able to check in smoothly. (Since there are several accommodation facilities, it seems that they were waiting in the accommodation building instead of the building with the front desk.) Both rooms are 2DK and the water area is organized. ［ Toilet ､ Washroom ､ Dressing room + Bathroom ］ Depending on people, it may be difficult to calm down and add. The bedroom is a king-sized bedroom + Japanese-style room. I was surprised in a very beautiful room. While I'm spending time, I can see the oldness of the building itself with Dan 々, but considering the cost performance, it falls into a slug. Wi-Fi (prepared) + Radio waves are always the weakest as facilities. It is easier to pick up radio waves when you go out outdoors. I didn't care because I was just sleeping this time, but I don't have a TV, so I hope that the Wi-Fi environment will be at least arranged 🙏 (because you can spend in a very quiet environment, you can hit digital detox) In addition, bath towels ､ face towels are provided with amenities, but they are quite fluffy, so if you are interested, we recommend that you bring them with you. It is a very reasonable and perfect facility for staying without meals and long-term stays. I would like to use it next time. [Bathroom installation] Shampoo, conditioner, body soap of POLA ”SHOWER BREAK” series [Washing basin installation] Foam soap brush ､ Kushi ､ Cotton + Cotton Swab + Hair Rubber Set ､ Shaving [Kitchen] There is no hot water heater, microwave oven, freezer + refrigerator, stove (kitchen tools such as frying pans, pots, dishwasher ､ sponge. Coffee cup ､ Yuzu ､ Kyusu was prepared .) 〈 Aside 〉 Neighboring gas stations close early, so we recommend refueling with plenty of room.

Because it is a newly opened hotel, it is close to the train station, and it only takes 30 minutes to drive from Karuizawa, so I chose to stay one night. The hotel is novel and clean, with indoor and outdoor hot springs on the top floor. There are many restaurants and Aeon mall shopping nearby. There are few breakfast options, but the environment is very good and convenient.
