Kita Karuizawa Spa Hotel

"Comfortable and friendly. I found everything to be as suggested. Well located with spacious rooms and a great

. Continental breakfast included. "

"Our stay started off well with a shuttle pick up from the station. The traditional look and style of the Yorozuya is beautiful. My husband and I booked the private

for 2 hours our first night and it only cost $100 for us both to use. The private

was absolutely amazing and even though it was modern compared to everything else, I loved that it was a private all inclusive experience that my husband and I could enjoy the baths and sauna together at our leisure. They provide drinks inside too...

"Lovely stay. Full Japanese experience. Traditional but with modern amenities. Lovely onsen. Traditional evening meal and breakfast. Shuttle bus to Snow monkeys included. Lovely hosts Would highly recommend."

"For my overnight trip to Nagano, my focus had always been to visit Togakushi Shrine for the giant cedar trees and Jigokudani Yaen Koen for the snow monkeys.

"Lovely accomdation. It is a bit dated but charming and clean. Has everything we needed. Perfect for accessing the mountain. Meals were excellent. Onsen was good and open 24/7. Staff is friendly. "

"Very accommodating, excellent service and excellent room. Our room had our own tiny hot spring bath so it was really cool. Also the owner is super friendly, we left our luggage there before check in and they helped us carry it up into our room. It's about 8 min walk to Yubatake (aka the center Kusatsu tourist area). Facility wise, they have free coffee and water, the owner even gave us milk as present 😊 they also have a super cool game room where they have japanese (childhood?) games."
