Absolutely loved Karuizawa. We went for shopping, good food and snowboarding!Wanted a local Japanese stay that was a easy 10 minute walk from station. This was it, place was huge and had good review after searching using only google maps! Family friendly, exceptional staff and huge place that easily fits 10 adults if you make use of 2 beds, sofa bed and tatami mat/room. Whole family loved the place.

It has a nice view of the pond at the back. Nice place to enjoy the cold weather. The place itself is nice and spacious. It has everything. The utensils seem very expensive, thereby showing that it values its guests. The receptionist, though not English-speaking, was kind enough to assist us with our needs. 900 meters more or less from the station and less than a kilometer from the outlet.

Ah. The one who responded to the online inquiries was kinda rude. Not to mention, unresponsive to the question. More so, the taxi they got for us once refused to take us to the station.

Clean and quiet

It's spacious and clean. It has all the utensils you need for cooking. There was 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds where my parents slept. My wife and I laid down the futons on the tatami room.

We stayed around summer so although it's just 11 min away from the Karuizawa station, it is still hot to walk around.

They have all the appliances at the apartment to make the stay comfy. The heater worked perfectly.

The pedestrian walkway between the train station and apartment was all covered in snow. That made walking between the apartment and train station difficult. Next, the roads are dimly lit at night. Hence, it’s easier to take a taxi from train station to the apartment at night. It costs ¥700 one way.

Best place stayed in Japan!

May be one more extra bed!

About 15 to 25 mins walk from Karuizawa station—good place for a family holiday stay.

No nearby convenient stores or F&B

the room is spacious and clean

we stay futon which is not as comfortable as expected.
