Hotels near Karuizawa St. Paul＇s Catholic Church in Karuizawa

My cottage 830 is very inconvenient. On 8 and 9 Nov 2023, it is completely dark after 17:00 pm. On arrival at Karuizawa Station, I need to go to the Prince Shopping Plaza and take the free shuttle bus to the hotel front office. After checking in, I need to get a ticket and wait for the shuttle to take me to my room. There is free cottage shuttle every 15 minutes to take guests to the hotel front office. In that building, there are restaurants and a convenient shop.

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.

One of the hotels I don't want to teach a few of them. I renovated the place where it was the original 々 store and was in the hotel, but I had a good sense and stayed in New York well, but I feel like I remind you of that time. The size is sufficient and the amenities are substantial. The Japanese room I stayed in also has floor heating, so comfortable and so reasonable hotel is the first time. Usually stay in a foreign hotel chain, but it doesn't pull at all. The staff is also very friendly and polite. I would like to come again.

It's been ９ years since I visited here. The good thing about this hotel is that the room was very large, very private, very relaxing, and I had a meaningful time. This time, I didn't eat at the buffet venue because I was in the corona, so I took it back to my room and ate. I think this was good because I was able to eat while watching TV in the room, and I didn't worry about infection. Is the bath flowing directly from the source? I don't know, but I think it was very good. The negative point is that the Wi-Fi in the room is now cut off in the middle of the pass, and even if it is connected, the speed is slow and useless. ９ I visited for the first time in a year, but the previous Vikings were very satisfied with the number of items, but this time there were not many items, and it was very disappointing that it was the same every day. However, the hotel life with a lot of private feeling is the best. I will use it again next time.

The hotel can provide pick-up and drop-off, which we didn't know until the day we left. The waiter asked us if we needed to be sent to the station. There were 6 of us in the group and we had a lot of luggage, and the hotel sent it to the station for free. I guess you can call the hotel and ask them to pick you up when you get to the Shinkansen station. If you are walking, walk south for 13 minutes after exiting the Shinkansen station and turn right for 2 minutes to reach the hotel. The hotel is in a forest, and there is a church next to it. The scenery nearby is very good, and there are three choices for breakfast. Very close to the old Karuizawa sightseeing and dining street. The hotel is a bit old, but the service is still very good.

It was a one-night meal with an official reservation and the child was good with one coin. It is far from the outlet and the old Karuizawa and runs on the mountain road. It is in the back of the mountain and is quiet and nice. There are only guests at night. It is colder than the flat ground, so the jacket is good even in October. I applied for a red leaf cart tour at check-in. I will ride the golf course around the cart. It was very fun with quiz and photo spot stops. The indoor pool was only 2 families when I went after dinner. There is also a jacuzzi. I was happy to see the child's happy face as a parent because I couldn't take it to the pool in the summer at the corona pass. There is no place to eat or convenience store nearby. There is a store but no meals are sold. The hotel meal is very delicious in the morning and night buffet. Children who usually don't eat soba were refreshing with delicious and delicious. The adults were very satisfied with roast beef, sashimi, horse stab and tempura. There was Wi-Fi everywhere in the building. Radio waves are no problem. There is also an open-air bath, and the scenery is beautiful from inside. The congestion expected paper was pasted on the elevator, so I was able to avoid congestion and enter. I entered at night and in the morning. The children seemed to be enjoying the quiz rally in the building, origami and children's rooms. There were several middle-aged men who were fussing in the courtyard at 0 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was noisy, so I contacted the front desk and responded immediately. Thank you.

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.

THE HIRAMATSU Karuizawa Miyoda ”Opened in Corona in 2021, it is the highest peak of Hiramatsu. Often, not the owner chef Auberge, who is open for couples, Large auberge, hotel-type auberge. The main dining with a full-course Hiramatsu high quality is promised. Snacks and alcohol in the outdoor lounge while surrounding the bonfire Drinks ｡ Freshly brewed coffee and tea in the lounge ｡ The main restaurant is a classic French dining on the first floor of the main building (◠‿◠). It is a casual top floor restaurant with a panoramic view of Miyota, but it has been renewed to an Italian restaurant since June and can be enjoyed even if you stay ２. In addition, there is a food experience ”Morning Basket” in nature, but this time, I had breakfast on the top floor of the main dining restaurant for dinner and breakfast. If you book a villa in the main dining room, you can guide you to a private room ｡ The dishes are half ripe * Amerato tomato caviar appetizer scallops Molieu cherry cream Kokiage white asparagus Gas Van Jenne Brass Shiitake mushroom Seri Calf Reese Ring Fukinoto Sake Seka Chocolate Blanc Small sweets Luxurious space for food and space, and time, I was able to taste the extraordinary in the wine pairing marriage (＾∀＾)

The property is very charming and the photos shown are true to actual. Location is a bit far from the station so best to arrange the shuttle bus service or take a cab. Room is neat and cosy and the private onsen is a nice bonus. Breakfast is lovely and the fresh vegetables were amazing however the dinner was a let down as it wasn’t served in the restaurant. Instead we were provided with a voucher for redemption at the bar. The food is just average, beef was not very fresh, and your clothes and hair reek of smell after dinner as they cook the food right at the bar.

Although this hotel had one of the cheaper room prices (for the duration that we were staying), the overall experience was average / slightly below average and on hindsight we might have splurged a little to upgrade to a bigger room in a more central location. The room was very small – after clearing out whatever furniture we could (table was packed in the cabinet where the bedding was kept and most other things had to be stacked on top of each other to maximise space), there was barely enough space to lay out two mattresses right beside our luggages (note that you have to set up the beds yourself). We spotted some strange black spots on the futon covers which deterred us from using the futons. We did, however, appreciate that the room came with a small refrigerator, a small key-operated safe box and a working heater. The walls and floors are thin, so you will hear footsteps along the corridor and (if you are unlucky, as we were, to have a room next to the toilet) gurgling sounds from the plumbing system. Bathrooms and restrooms are shared. The communal shower area on the first floor has a small bath (could accommodate approximately 3 strangers, any more would be uncomfortable), but the water is still and I'm not certain if it was actually from the hot springs. We were grateful that the usual amenities were provided (toiletries, body lotion, hairdryers). There were other onsens nearby which were open for day trips, but we were turned away by the prices (bearing in mind that we had just travelled from onsen heaven, Kusatsu town). Location-wise, while we were given a free shuttle ride from and to Karuizawa Station during check-in and check-out, we had to find our own way around the rest of the time. There are some attractions in the Naka-Karuizawa area, but the main highlights are nearer to the Karuizawa Station. The walk from the hotel to Naka-Karuizawa Station (one stop away from Karuizawa Station) takes about 10-15 minutes, and the street lights can get rather dim by 7pm and are almost non-existent by 10pm. Alternatively, there are buses that ply the area, but the bus fares were nearly double the train fares and accessibility of information was an issue (it was hard looking up bus timetables online). Another alternative is to rent bicycles from the hotel at ¥1000 per day. Service-wise – hit and miss. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, others not so. A few of them were able to communicate in English. Food-wise, there were some decent options (e.g. Harunire Terrace), but not always budget-friendly and most close by evening (sans restaurants, with pretty steep prices). There is a 7-11 about 100m away but consumption of food in the store is not allowed. It closes at 11pm. All in all, if you're fine with sacrificing some creature comforts and travelling longer distances to save on accommodation, this hotel could be one of your considerations. But if your budget is not the main priority, there may be better options els
