Reviewed By Hermann S

Unpleasant experience: Check in time is 3pm and they charge JPY 1,000 for each hour that you want to check in earlier. Pretty bad when you arrive late morning after a red-eye flight from overseas. Even worse: Check out time is 10am! And same game trying to charge some extra Cash for some hours extra. This is the most restrictive early checkin/late check out policy that I've ever experienced in any hotel worldwide. Clear decision: Sorry, but never again!

Kawaguchiko Station Inn

An ideal location to stay during your visit to Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko. Just across from the Kawaguchiko Sation. All the guest rooms are Japanese-style. Mt. Fuji can be seen from the guest rooms and baths. If you plan to climb Mt. Fuji, its fifth station is located only 40 minutes away by bus.

Stayed before Mt Fuji Climb

Reviewed By DianaMBMI

Very good location! The hostel is right in front of Kawaguchiko Station and close to amenities. Convenient stores, restaurants, shopping places were just within walking distance. You'll be able to see the beautiful Mount Fuji on a good day too! Very helpful and hospitable owners. We were allowed to leave our luggages/backpacks at the hostel when we went for our climb at no extra fee. Some of us were leaving for Tokyo right after our descend and our shower fee at the hostel was discounted. Loved the Japanese breakfast. Recommended for solo travellers as well as groups! Note: The Japanese are very particular about footwear and where you place them! So, be respectful, watch and learn from the locals, hostel owners and their staff on where they place their shoes/boots, and where they put on those sandals that they provide for you. When in doubt, just ask!?

Hotel Danrokan

Parking: 30

Decent hotel

Reviewed By Anson P

Got to the hotel very late so couldn't comment too much of its surrounding. The building and room were quite dated. Room size was large enough to have two luggages opened together which is quite acceptable in Japan. The bed was fine but unfortunately they don't have any spare pillow. Decent.

Satouno-Nukumori

From Karuizawa Station is a 10-minute walk. Is a 10-minute walk from the Kyu Karuizawa Ginza. Cheap, is the Sleep Over Pension.

Cozy with very friendly caretakers cum owners

Reviewed By llydzzi

Stayed in a single room with shared bath for a night. Lots of free amenities to take at the lobby. Free flow of water too. The shared bath and toilets are kept clean, so is the room. Location is superb, 15 mins walk to everything - JR station, Kumobaike Pond, Karuizawa Ginza and the Karuizawa Red Bus Stop at Tokyo Harvest Club. Although a 1min short walk through the woods to get to the hotel, it is very safe. Just switch on your phone touchlight if it gets dark. Will definitely stay here again.

Hotel Wellies

WELLIES is a unique small hotel only one hour from Tokyo in Karuizawa. Chris, the British owner offer gastro-pub style cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Most of our rooms have cool functional designs and funky British wallpaper. Spend time on the terrace or garden enjoying the natural surroundings (we are very popular with Birders in the winter), or have a drink at the bar with friends old and new. We are only 10 minutes drive from the JR Karuizawa (Shinkansen) , Outlet shopping, Prince ski resort and Kyu-Karuizawa old town. We are less than 5-minutes from Hoshino area (Harunire Terrace, Tombo No Yu hot spring, Stone Church, Seizon Art Museum and Blestoncourt wedding hotel). We are only 3 minutes drive from Naka-Karuizawa station. Convenient for birding. Eat with us or we can give advice on local restaurants and also the inside track on things to do and see in the area. We are about 7 minutes walk from Naka-Karuizawa station. The whole hotel is NO SMOKING inside.

年に一度は訪れていたイギリス旅行がコロナの影響でここ2年程訪れる機会を失っていたので、今回の軽井沢旅行では"イギリス”を身近に感じたくてこちらに滞在させて頂きました。ソロ旅でも温かく迎えてくださったオーナーやスタッフに感謝。特にオーナー手作りのお料理は本当に美味しく頂きました。こちらに滞在されるのであれば朝食だけでなく夕食も是非召し上がられることをお勧めします。 素敵な時間をありがとう。 Your homemade cooking was so delicious that remainded me of my staying in England.

Hakuba Panorama Hotel

There are not many hotels in Hakuba that tick all the boxes. We do! Located in the heart of town with walking access to many shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the main slopes of Hakuba’s main resort, Happo-one. Hot springs onsite Complimentary breakfast Stunning mountain views Free shuttles Hakuba Taproom, a wonderful restaurant with Japan’s best craft beer, and much much more!

Beautiful location and amazing restaurant.

Reviewed By ChrisNKoch

Did a super short one night vacation with my family and this place was great. I'm not into onsens, but it was nice to have it for my daughter and wife. They loved it. I loved the views in the morning. We came in on a rainy day, but the morning was incredible! The Hakuba valley area is gorgeous and the view from the room was nice to wake up to. As a previous Hilton and Marriott hotel staff, I was very happy to see the staff service on point. The front desk must have good communication with the kitchen staff because they knew I was coming, and my god the food was awesome. Even if I go back for a day trip to Hakuba, I'll hit up the Hakuba Taproom at the bottom of the hotel. The burgers were super satisfying, and the tacos were awesome. I only tried three of the beers they had (too full), but the beer selection was also good. Looks like craft beers from all over Japan. There's a patio area for eating and drinking, and there are activities mixed in. Convenient for my kids.

Pension Ringo-no Ki

Best B&B Experience

Reviewed By charliemcmannes

If you are staying in the Hakuba area, I highly recommend staying at the Pension Ringo-No Ki! The owner and his wife were the kindest, most accommodating couple, that are there to help you with any need. Some highlights are: Delicious breakfast in the morning, outdoor & indoor spa, and a comfy/relaxing atmosphere- especially great after a long day on the slopes or just checking out the town. Many great restaurants within walking distance as well. My partner and I couldn’t have found a better place to stay! We will be back.

Pension Risuno Koya

fabulous dinner!

Reviewed By kopokopon

Small, but very nice and "your home like" pension. And fabulous dinner! Just excellent. It was 8500Yen include breakfast and dinner, I think it's worth to pay. I staid there from 30th Dec. to 1st Jan. so it was most expensive season. I strongly recommend this pension! 年末年始のスキーで2泊させて頂きました。2食込みで、30日は8500円、31日は9000円とこの時期としてはリーズナブルなお値段で、とにかく夕食が美味しかった!前菜、スープ、お魚、お肉、デザートとフルコースディナーで、どれも本当に美味しかったです。 私たちが泊まったお部屋は、ロフトつきの4ベッド。子どもはとても楽しんだようです。お風呂とトイレは共同ですが、全然問題なし。共同のお風呂は小さいですが温泉で、とてもあったまりました。 私たちが泊まったときは大雪だったので1回だけしか歩きませんでしたが、天気が良ければ白馬五竜スキー場までそう遠くなく、歩いていけます。 白馬五竜のゲレンデも良かったですし、また泊まりたいと思う宿でした。
