Japan Ski Holidays

All the above ! And the breakfast buffet is amazing super location ! The bay view is fantastic. And hotel is an easy drive to several good ski resorts. Plus there is shopping center attached. With a good gear store . If you forget to pack something? No worries

Great location. Right next to the Karuizawa station, outlet and snowfields. Shuttle scheduled to come every 15-30 minutes to take you around the resort, outlet and other snow fields. Staying at resort also gives you discounted rates with the ski lifts and gear rental. Spacious room. Great for families.

Excellent breakfast . 2 br condo . Lots of space . Living room had pullout couch also . We had a car so travelled around but otherwise need hotel shuttle to resorts and train station .

The good stuff - ski in out location. A few food options onsite and convenience stores across the road. Good onsen and not too crowded. Tip - the air conditioning is centrally controlled so unfortunately the room was sweltering. The best option is to turn it off near the bed and open the window a little. Take the free gondola to the restaurant up the mountain. Reasonable price and quality. The rooms are pretty dated which was a bit surprising given the price. Having stayed at the Westin across the road I was surprised by the difference.

Super relaxing, had all the amenities we needed, including on site ski rentals which saved our trip after our luggage was lost by the airlines.

Rooms are dated but reasonably clean. I would describe the room as adequate. Buffet breakfast is a must as there’s no easy alternative. The variety of the food was good but the temperature of the hot food was always luke-warm. Dinner was a mission unless you want to spend $50 or $100 (AUD) per adult for buffet dinners at the respective wings. The clothes washing facilities free, but were atrocious. The dryers are not fit for purpose, which seems to be a theme in other reviews - take note and don’t wash anything you don’t have to or you’ll be spending hours monitoring the dryer. Don’t use the “60” setting as this doesn’t actually dry anything. The location is beautiful and access to lifts etc is amazing. Stay on the west wing if you want ready access to the kids play area. Beds are comfy - better than other “nicer” hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan. It’s a picturesque location and we enjoyed ourselves but it’s budget accomodation with no frills. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be nice if they provided bottled water ever day like every other hotel in Japan. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ski rental was easy if you book in advance. Thank you for the stay.

Ski in ski out, perfect powder snow every day. Convenient locker. Amazing breakfast. Friendly service.
