This hotel is a hidden gem with helpful and friendly staff. Feels like a b&b with cooked breakfast, games area for adults and kids. The staff went above and beyond - helping us with transport to our next destination, making calls (in Japanese) and driving us to our shuttle connection. Rooms were comfortable and warm. It’s about 10mins from the town centre but they do offer pick up and drop offs from the train, and it makes it quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Homey British hotel.

Chris is a very friendly and funny guy. Great atmosphere and giving a great welcome feeling. Full of stories and jokes! Good homey British food - dinner and breakfast. His home smoked salmon got full marks! Huge room, very clean and quiet. Highly recommended for Japanese and gaijin travellers.

The hotel/guesthouse is quite some distance from the central parts of Karuizawa. You would definitely need a car if staying here. Whilst newly renovated, the property feels like a poorly designed mixture of English and Japanese concepts that don’t really work well together. I’m confident there are better value for money options in Karuizawa.
