Kishu Railway Karuizawa Hotel

The exterior was excellent. The parking lot was very close, making it easy to carry luggage. I would love to stay here again.

Thanks to the multiple night stay sale, I was able to stay at an incredibly low price, comparable to a capsule hotel, and I was very satisfied. I stayed in the maisonette of the East Wing annex, but for two people, the room felt too spacious. The room's atmosphere is based on the early Heisei era but has been maintained as clean as possible with efforts to update interiors and facilities. The cookware in the room had some wear and tear—especially the frying pan—so if you plan on cooking for yourself, it might be a good idea to bring your own or use disposable frying pan sheets. The refrigerator, kettle, and rice cooker had a retro charm but worked without any issues.Groceries can be purchased within about a 5-minute drive at Kubo Farm Direct Sales or one of two nearby convenience stores. There’s also a coin laundry next to one of these convenience stores.The Onsen is located in the main building with only an indoor bath available for 500 yen per use. You can also make use of your room's bath or other nearby Onsen facilities if you prefer. For those staying multiple nights especially, this location offers great convenience.If you're looking for an accommodation where you can enjoy nature’s sounds and live at your own pace while cooking meals yourself, this could be ideal for you. The staff were kind and cheerful in their assistance as well—it was much appreciated! I’d love to visit again!
