Shionada 3 Stars Hotels

"Hotel was very clean, 7 minute walk from Karuizawa train station and only 10 minute walk from the Prince outlet mall! Hotel also has a good modest breakfast selection too. A convenience store is also 1 min from the hotel entrance even though it closed at 11pm. Room was spacious and have everything we needed, thank you for the great stay!"

"My fur angel and I enjoyed the stay. We are glad they have fenced indoor and outdoor play areas for dogs. The staff was kind and friendly. I only want the hotel to reconsider using aroma in their guest room. As soon as we entered the room, I noticed the artificial aroma, and I quickly turned off the humidifier, which seemed to be the source of the aroma. I am a certified health coach and have avidly promoted home use of medical-grade essential oils for better health. However, I cannot tolerate the odors of artificial aroma, which is known to affect our health adversely. Artificial aromas are known to disrupt our nerves and hormone secretions, and even more so for dogs and small animals. But unfortunately, artificial aromas are widely used in Japan. To prove the adverse effect of the artificial aroma, I continually experienced a runny nose while in the room. I do not have hay fever or any allergy associated with the pollens or seasonal impacts. My body shows such symptoms only when I am exposed to artificial oils. Having a constant runny nose is a very rare event for me. I cannot imagine how much the adverse effects of the aroma invisibly affect my dog. So, please avoid using artificial aromas that are widely commercially available."
