Very peaceful location. While I loved my room (which was high up and overlooked the forest), it involved climbing some very steep stairs. Travelers with mobility issues should be careful about which rooms they reserve. I stayed two nights and wish that I had stayed three. ##### Ronald Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort HOSHINOYA resort is a great place for relaxation. The environment filled with natural forest and maple trees. The service was exceptional. However, there were mosquitoes problem possibly harvested by the pond in the property. Hopefully the hotel can find solution to help with this problem. Otherwise, this resort is beautiful, quiet, and comfortable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EBAEA68497B72A97900AC063F5EF43104E2F1B191731767235022.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0B6989A6534CC45682795B776A64058D9DAE8D301731767234913.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yan Ting 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The water side room is spacious and the balcony is nice, you can see and listen the stream running and ducks swimming along. However, some rooms are near the walkway and you can see people walking along the stream, (I.e. they can see you as well) and gardener would be working in the morning which produces some noises. Staff are helpful and getting a taxi to stroll around for sightseeing is easy. You can either call the hotel car to travel around the hotel district or just on foot. The area is best for avoiding heat from summer. ##### Yan Ting Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a peaceful place...you don't have TV and cables here. It has a bueatiful garden with multiple ponds. The bath facility is so so. Do not expect too much. This is the place for meditation and not-think-anything. The room price is going up too much if you not reserve earlier than you expect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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.
