This was one of the more memorable experiences and stays I've ever had - the loveliest even. Everything from the decor to the hospitality of the entire staff to the food to the meditation bath was a testament to intentionality. The attention to detail and storytelling of the omakase dinner at the restaurant was my absolute favorite part of our entire stay. Can't wait to return, hopefully for many years to come!
Everything about this property was divine. It exceeding my expectations in every way, the location, the atmosphere, the facilities, the staff, landscape, cleanliness. I cannot fault this property and would stay there again.
The staff were excellent—friendly and helpful. The location was convenient enough, though a bit far from town. It’s best if you have your own car rather than rely on public transportation.
The hotel itself is excellent! We loved our stay. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing stay surrounded by natural beauty. Only downside is there aren’t many amenities within walking distance besides a little tourist area. There is easy access to the local bus if you don’t mind spending 30 minutes going into town.
The service during my stay in Hoshinoya was the best.
It was good time to fully enjoy nature during my stay. Thank you very much to all member of Hoshinoya.
Nice property. Amazing surrounding and environment. Friendly staff good at English. Easy accessibility from main train station.

Beautiful resort. So pretty during Autumn season. Come here to enjoy the scenery and slow things down. We really enjoyed the breakfast and onsen facility here. Love their afternoon tea and sake bar!
my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Hoshinoya Karuizawa. We had a wonderful stay. The onsen within the hotel was really good. Both of us enjoyed the facilities. We would like to especially thank the staff Miyu( dining),Saru, Takahashi(spa) and Leo san (front desk ) who took care of us during our stay .
