At the foot of Mount Asama, surrounded by dense forests of Japanese maple, running streams and hot springs, HOSHINOYA Karuizawa Hotel is a place of unsurpassable beauty and the perfect panacea to the stresses and strains of life’s daily demands. Just an hour from Tokyo, here you can relax to the pace of old Japan in a contemporary villa, and enjoy the hot-spring spa and superb Japanese cuisine.

HOSHINOYA Karuizawa Hotel is a tranquil and restful place. Choose from a riverside, hillside or garden villa. All have a terrace, balcony or garden to commune with nature and make the most of the stunning scenery. Visit the spa and immerse yourself in a natural hot-spring bath and feel life’s stresses lift from your shoulders.

Start the day with some morning stretches in the Chaya (teahouse). Then discover the nearby Harunire terrace with its string of outlets and restaurants. In the early evening, take a twilight eco tour through the forest and discover the region’s rare wildlife from songbirds to flying squirrels and glowing fireflies. Then, return to the HOSHINOYA Karuizawa Hotel and choose between three restaurants serving Japanese or French cuisine.
