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.

The location is very good, you can take a walk along the river downstairs. The room is large, the river view room has beautiful day and night views, the hardware facilities in the room are beautiful and reasonable, including the shower button, the lighting mode, etc. It is more comfortable to use, the hair dryer is Dyson's, very easy to use. The staff are very warm, feel value for money, and will choose to stay again.

I have been in a small hotel for 6 years but it is very new and warm. The room has a humidifier, air conditioning is silent, there is unlimited drinks, coffee and tea, and all facilities are very good. Please contact Trip.com to pick up the high-speed rail and send the high-speed rail service. You can store your luggage at the station and play outlet and town. The hotel also has a supporting restaurant, which is good for food, lodging and transportation.

Offering space that makes you feel like you are floating in trees, we urge you to come and spend non-ordinary time to your heart's content.

Kei Otowa Hotel is very close to the Karuizawa Shinkansen Station and has convenient transportation. The hotel has a scheduled bus to pick up guests to the station, which is a 3-minute journey and very punctual. This is the second hotel I chose to stay in on this trip. I have a good impression. The hotel is a French white building with a very European style. It is divided into the old and new building areas. The old building is being renovated. This time I stayed in the new building. The wooden staircase, the room is not too big or small, clean, and all toiletries are available. You can see the autumn scenery outside the window. There are 2 sets of breakfast to choose from, 4 different varieties of French bread and cakes, with Kei Otowa Forest's special orange and strawberry jam (available in the hotel's small shopping mall), which really surprised us foodies. It was so soft and freshly baked that it was too delicious. I remember it deeply. Breakfast was in a large restaurant. After careful observation, except for us, most of the people staying were RB people who came to Karuizawa for vacation. There is a small garden outside the hotel. The clear blue sky, fresh air, red and yellow leaves and fallen leaves are so beautiful that I can't express them in words. The hotel service is also good. If you ask about the restaurant, they will lead you in person. Turn left from the gate to the station, and turn right to go to Karuizawa Old Street, where there are various shopping stores and food stores. There is also a small road behind that is a rich area. The names of the villas are written on the door, but they are all empty. It is said that Karuizawa is the back garden of the rich in Japan, and it is true. We walked for more than 1 kilometer in the morning. The environment was very quiet and the air was excellent. I will stay in this hotel again if I have the chance.

Traveling with 2 teenagers. This is not a suitable place for them. Check in at 3pm. You can check your luggage early. But, during this waiting time, you can only go for outlet shopping. Sadly, not for teenagers ! Staff are fine but quite fixed. For example, we arrived at 1030 and one teenager asked for using gym. They said no. It's his birthday, none is happy about this. At the early evening, I found you need to pay 2000 yean for each use of gym and hot spring. I feel this is silly. You are charging us anyway why not let us use and pay? Cottage: is cute and cozy but extremely oldx3. I think you can describe a vantage cottage. Clean but a bit of natural symphony from outside. Buffet dinner: selection if food was ok. Western, Chinese and Japanese. But certainly the entire area are a bit of pricy. 9000 yean plus 18% charges. If you dont have a choice , this is acceptable. Or you can choose to eat early at the outlet area. Hot spring: outdoor and indoor. Very nice setting but you pay 2000 per use. Overall, this area is pretty pricy. But if you are here to chill this should be nice but with teenagers I would say they rather live in Tokyo like a cheap hotel not this. They don't appreciate this at all. I still appreciate the service and the experience.

There were many foreigners and newcomers, and there was little explanation in advance, so we were confused when we went for the first time. Everyone wanted a little more polite explanation. There was no hotel guide in the room, and the drink of the person who stayed last time was left in the refrigerator and it was uncomfortable. I wondered if there were many foreigners who cleaned (maybe prejudice), but I could hear the voices of foreign staff. I wanted to eat warm foods while I was cold. However, only one elderly Japanese man at the restaurant staff was kind to the children and always worked hard, and the children seemed very happy. I definitely wanted this person to evaluate it.

Beautiful environment, very clean and comfortable, complete kitchen facilities, outdoor barbecue equipment, complete tableware! It’s a pity to stay for one night. Our family decided to stay here next time we go to Karuizawa!

With stunning architecture by Shigeru Ban (who designed House 1 and 2), this stylish small hotel has interesting spaces filled with contemporary art. My family took 3 rooms in Villa A of House 2 which gave us a private kitchenette and small seating area, with access to a beautiful communal room and library. It's a couple of minutes' walk to House 1 with the gorgeous restaurant that merges the indoor with outdoor. The restaurant offers a good breakfast and a la carte lunches/dinners. We chose the omakase dinner one evening and it was creative and excellent. The staff members are fantastic - friendly and helpful, especially the knowledgeable and wonderful General Manager Ogihara-san who went out of his way to personally take us to the oldest ramen restaurant in Karuizawa and the volcano park. We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel recently added House 3 which is also stunning. There's quite a bit to do in the area - hikes, waterfall, onsen etc., so we are already planning our next trip. A great escape in the summer from the blazing heat of Tokyo, and I hear it's amazing in the snowy winter too.
