Independent Toridemachi hotels

"They were able to accommodate a last minute booking. Rooms were large for Japanese standard and the free breakfast was better than some we've paid for (eggs, ham, curry, soup, drinks). Would stay here again."

"Staff only speaks Japanese with minimal English. Thus, please ensure you've made all reservations correctly and properly online if you can't speak or understand Japanese."

"Requested a toddler bed as advertised as free when I booked the room. It wasn’t provided and when I asked for it I was told that it would be an additional ¥8990. Pool advertised is also a hefty additional charge"

"We had the japanese western style room which comes with a small Japanese dining area which was very useful. The toilet has a bathtub and the shower head with a mid high stool useful for elderly and pregnant women. Appreciate that the toilet bowl is separated from the bathroom. The beds were really comfy and has beady pillows. The blanket was very cushy. There's a delicia supermarket 15mins by foot. And lots of home run restaurants within 10mins by foot. Love that L2 there's a common area where you could bring your own food to microwave. However, would be better if they could place a basket containing water, towels even if a do not disturb sign is being put up."

"Very close to train station and outlet"

"It is a really excellent hotel with wonderful staff. The room was very good."

"Clean, modern, and comfortable. Great location in the older shopping area (Gion) of Karuizawa. Kirt’s of fun shopping like Donguri, Peanuts store, and great dining options. "

"Convenient location! Beds were very comfortable. Awesome that you use plastic covers over the remote control, and cups are individually wrapped. Breakfast was very good! Everyone was kind and helpful."
