4 star hotels in Karuizawa

got its own ski resort, very convenient. no need for car rental.

Very good location, convenient pick up bus services to the shopping mall and skiing areas! Room have a very good view and clean, comfortable environment for the stay!

The cabin felt like being in a forest, perfect for a summer trip. However, the facilities are a bit dated, making the experience less comfortable. I should have booked a room in the main building. That would have made accessing the hot springs and gym much more convenient.

there is a great experience to line in Hotel West, Prince Resort, especially, the Hot Spring where is clean and is easy to make customers relax.

This was my first time in Karuizawa, and I picked this hotel blindly, but it turned out to be even better than I expected. The hotel is right next to the outlets, making shopping, getting around, and dining all super convenient. The room decor was also very cozy.

Unexpectedly close to both the outlet mall and the JR station, it's within walking distance. The hotel is quite large, and the rooms are spacious too, with both indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. It's a great place for couples and families with kids to stay.

Highly recommended! I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Indigo Karuizawa. The hotel offers great value for money, and I was really impressed by the design—the atmosphere and attention to detail throughout the space are fantastic. The highlight for me was definitely the Ofuro (public bath) and the sauna; they were so relaxing. I slept exceptionally well here. If you’re looking for a peaceful and high...

The hotel environment is beautiful, and the facilities are very new. A special thanks to the staff for their warm hospitality, which really made our trip even better. The only downside is the breakfast—there aren't many options, and the taste is just average. The location is a bit remote, but there is a Lawson and a few restaurants nearby. Plus, the hotel provides a convenient shuttle bus to the train...

My husband and I had the best time! The hotel was conveniently located, a short drive from the train station and ski resorts. It is also very close to a snowboard rental. Want to give a shout-out to Ryu, who helped us communicate with the transport company when they sent us the wrong snowboard. Our stay wouldn't have been so lovely without Ryu and the team. Thank you!

I'd seen some reviews saying the facilities were a bit old-fashioned, but I actually found them to be perfectly fine. It was clean and hygienic, and the staff were very welcoming. Since it was winter, there weren't many tourists, so it was wonderfully quiet. We booked two twin rooms for our group of three adults and one child, and we were all really happy with the room views. We booked breakfast...

The room is quite spacious with a great design, and the bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. The lobby is grand with stunning floor-to-ceiling window views. There are shuttle services to the hot springs and outlet mall nearby, but the most convenient thing is the train station! 👍

I brought my own snowboard to Karuizawa. It's a 70-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station to JR Karuizawa Station. The Shinkansen luggage racks have straps to secure snowboards. After exiting the station, head to the hotel service center (open until 7 PM) located on the far right of the 7/11 convenience store at the South Exit (Pic 7). You can drop off your luggage there and then explore the Plaza...

Location of hotel is very convenient. It is walking distance to the Karuizawa Outlet Mall. Hotel is just right next to the slopes, very suitable for families with children looking for a suitable place to stay for a ski trip.

Hotel is just next right from the ski park! Direct onsen once done 👍

very convenient clean and tidy it is a good place to relax plus the outlet is super large and you may hang around for a day

perfect location for ski beginners hotel lobby provides lots of space at easy to loiter with kids free flow of coffee n soft drinks

Very cozy and clean hotel. Nice environment and next to the snowman park. The hotel provides a free shuttle to shopping mall.

Wonderful stay in Karuizawa Hotel East. Many facilities including hotspring. Beautiful place to stay.

Great! But there aren't enough shuttle buses and the signage isn't clear.

We spent 2 nights in Prince after first 2 nights in Kusatsu onsen town. The hotel looked underwhelming on arrival and the front office service was efficient but cursory compared to the warm hospitality we had in the ryokan stay. It was low season and hotel was very quiet and had a "cold" atmosphere. I was further disappointed when we were shown our room which was on the lowest floor with a simple...

The room was great, clean and hygienic, and the view was beautiful.

The front desk and restaurant staff were all so friendly, beautiful, and stylish (a feast for the eyes). They helped us carry our luggage to our room and explained all the facilities in detail, such as the mini-cart required to use the public pool, the forest sanctuary, and the shuttle bus. We enjoyed watching the Big Dipper at night and the sea of ​​clouds in the morning.

The environment here is absolutely beautiful; you can enjoy stunning views right from your window every morning. It's also very convenient to drive to all the attractions in Karuizawa. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the view from the window is breathtaking. Most importantly, the outdoor hot spring offers panoramic views, making soaking in the hot spring feel like being in a fairyland...

The room was immaculately clean, and the welcoming staff was very friendly. We had a French set menu for dinner, which was delicious! The breakfast buffet offered both Japanese and Western dishes, and the food was delicious and varied! Another fun thing was the short tram ride to the hot spring baths. The water is natural, and it was a delightful experience to soak in the baths while gazing at the...

We had a wonderful stay at the Mampei Hotel. The hotel is beautifully designed inside and out, the staff are fantastic, and the meals we had for breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner were all delicious, as were drinks at the iconic hotel bar. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Service was amazing ! Rooms were spacious and comfortable

Ambiance: Excellent, surrounded by trees, very secluded and tranquil. Facilities: Very good. The breakfast was Western-style, but quite ordinary for a 5-star hotel standard.

Absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely go again with relatives and friends. It's a hotel with a rich history and culture. The service and dining were near perfect, and the surrounding area was very quiet, making it a perfect vacation spot.

It was a truly wonderful space. I'm so glad I stayed at this hotel, following my mother's recommendation.

True to its reputation as a seasoned five-star hotel. It has that old-money vibe, rich in history. The breakfast was excellent.

We loved our stay here. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the room was beautiful. The entire hotel maintains a sort of romantic vintage feeling but has completely updated bathrooms and every sort of modern amenity one could need. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Karuizawa.

Very quiet and near a beautiful nature stream

We stayed here for just one night, earlier in the summer. The hotel itself is not new but immaculately maintained and the rooms are decorated in a simple but very tasteful manner. We had the best sleep ever on those beds. Absolute heaven. And, the prix-fixe dinners and the breakfast (selection of Japanese, American, or continental with fresh salad) are a can’t-miss. Would love to return.

Nice hotel in a quiet location Really enjoyed the experience at the hotel: located in an exclusive area. The staffs are very attentive. The breakfast is amazing and the service is top notch. It is near Kumoba pond. The scenery is mesmerizing.

Kind staff. Clean rooms. Beautiful area.

We were truly happy with our stay. In fact, we regret only staying for one night—it simply wasn’t enough for us. The room amenities were exceptional, featuring L’Occitane shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which made the experience feel even more luxurious. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of complimentary bottled water chilled in the refrigerator. Breakfast was absolutely a must...

Great service staff and hotel that gave an old school charm. Breakfast was a continental style set which was great. The room was dated but comfortable

The room was quite spacious, even by Japanese standards for hotels. The environment was lovely, and it happened to snow during my stay, making the garden views absolutely beautiful!

Nice and quiet area of town. Would be better if there's indoor passage to different building.

This French-style house has a lot of history and is nestled in a quiet, forested area with great air quality. It's very close to Old Karuizawa and convenient for visiting Shiraito Falls and Kumoba Pond. The service is very polite, and the interesting old-fashioned key adds to its nostalgic charm. It is a bit pricey, though; weekday rates are much better!

This hotel is a quiet, tastefully decorated old villa. We stayed here and took the hotel's shuttle for skiing and shopping in the mornings. The arrangements were very well-organized. In the evenings, the hotel even gave marshmallows to the kids to roast over the fireplace. It's perfect for families.

Good location and near to the Prince Shopping centre and the ski centre. Clean and tidy place.

Room are only come with twin bed instead of king or queen bed and hotel under renovation ezternal part so no view all Stay location is bit far from station which about 10mins walk better to call a teksi about 800-1000yen for a trip. Overall suitable for family stay instead of solo trip..

The staff were polite, and the room was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The two beds pushed together made for a huge sleeping area, perfect for our 3 and 5-year-olds to share. Plus, parking is free!

Pros - 1. Hotel apartment is 15 mins by walk from karuizawa station, still walkable. Hotel does not provide any shuttle bus 2. Room is spacious and it is equipped with microwave, stove & fridge. It does not come with any kitchen ware though and need to request the items you need clearly. It is hard to communicate as the staffs do not speak English well 3. It is 3 mins by walk away from a big supermarket...

The room was super spacious, and the breakfast was delicious.

The food was delicious, and everything was explained thoroughly. The room was also very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Thank you very much! It was wonderful, I'd love to stay again.

Very nice service and attentive staff.

if you are driving, location is not a concern, otherwise you might need to reconsider. Staff are nice and helpful. I didn't expect there is a bath operating overnight which is very nice to have when you have a long travel day.

This is probably my third time staying here. I've heard that the situation at ryokans is tough these days, but from the lantern at the entrance to the cozy large bath, the heating is excellent, and the sliding screens don't look unfashionable and don't let the heat escape, I always feel the beauty of the Japanese style.

The welcome was excellent. They escorted us out the door upon departure, which was very friendly. Breakfast included watermelon. This is a historic hotel with plenty of books on the first floor. The sofa chairs in the Japanese-style room were very comfortable. The guests were mainly Japanese, with a few European and American guests.

The room was nice and the breakfast and dinner were also very good

Traditional hotel at the end of famous shopping street They provided plubic bath(No onsen) for guest Tatami room is nice , and Breakfast was not so bad. Hotel is in good location to enjoy yoyr stay and workout to sightseeing Karuizawa nearby.
