Tranquil hotel with ample space for relaxation throughout the property. Free car service in and out, even has a kids playroom that helped to entertain my young 15mo while my husband and I took turns for onsen. Great service and also in room dining.

HOSHINOYA resort is a great place for relaxation. The environment filled with natural forest and maple trees. The service was exceptional. However, there were mosquitoes problem possibly harvested by the pond in the property. Hopefully the hotel can find solution to help with this problem. Otherwise, this resort is beautiful, quiet, and comfortable.

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 .

The water side room is spacious and the balcony is nice, you can see and listen the stream running and ducks swimming along. However, some rooms are near the walkway and you can see people walking along the stream, (I.e. they can see you as well) and gardener would be working in the morning which produces some noises. Staff are helpful and getting a taxi to stroll around for sightseeing is easy. You can either call the hotel car to travel around the hotel district or just on foot. The area is best for avoiding heat from summer.

Beautiful property, wonderful public onsen, and excellent restaurant. Very peaceful location. While I loved my room (which was high up and overlooked the forest), it involved climbing some very steep stairs. Travelers with mobility issues should be careful about which rooms they reserve. I stayed two nights and wish that I had stayed three.
