THE HIRAMATSU Karuizawa Myota

My first stayThe attentive hospitality, the music room with wonderful sound where I could read, relaxing by the campfire to keep warm, and the foie gras risotto were all excellent.I’d love to see the different scenery each season—I’ve already decided to return.

We stayed as a couple just after the New Year to celebrate my birthday.We enjoyed a gallery with art, music, and rare books; afternoon tea while taking in breathtaking views; and, under the cold winter sky, a bonfire with marshmallows and hot cocoa. Personally, I especially loved the music gallery, where you can freely choose from a large collection of records and listen in high-quality sound.In the evening, we savored French cuisine with Japanese touches in a calm setting, and in the morning we enjoyed breakfast while admiring the spectacular view.When we returned to our Room after dinner, there was a celebratory message made with towel art on the bed. When I asked my husband, he said he hadn’t requested anything in particular. We were truly touched by this surprise from the Hotel. Thank you very much.The Room was spacious with a wonderful view, and the bath—where we could relax while looking outside—was fantastic.Another small but delightful touch was that okaki rice crackers and mugichoco (chocolate-coated puffed barley) were always available. I was impressed by how thoughtfully both sweet and savory familiar snacks were provided without being too heavy. Since we could eat as much as we wanted whenever we liked, I kept reaching for them—and ended up snacking far too much late at night (laugh).Thanks to your attentive service, we were able to spend a relaxing and peaceful time.Thank you to all of the Hotel staff.We would love to visit other Hotels in the Hiramatsu Group as well.
