Hotel Cypress Karuizawa

Hot public baths. Excellent evening meal included in price.

Breakfast could be improved. More options for continental breakfast. More cereals, proper size croissants...

The room is very spacious and we have our own onsen in it. The front desk is helpful, love the atmosphere in the hotel.

The room we stayed in (entry price one) was really spacious so perfect for us four. Actually the hotel used to be apartment hotels so there is a kitchenette which is not furnished (no plate, cutlery) but with a large fridge/freezer and a microwave. So quite handy if you don’t want to eat outside all the times. There is a onsen which is a plus. It is actually a good 20min walk from the station and there is nothing around the hotel but there is a shuttle bus every hour - when we stayed in January. But taxi is less than 1000jpy from the station so ok if you can fill one! The hotel actually rent skiwear for free! And snow-boots as well. The breakfast buffet is quite Japanese and great for those who like Japanese food - our case. For non Japanese, it is ok but a bit limited. Also, if you are coming for a ski trip, the shuttle bus brings you to the ski station where you can rent ski gear and ski passes. The domain is quite small so would not stay more than a weekend but you still can have fun. Quite family oriented. There is a children park at the foot of the station with slide, giant trampoline for 1200 joy great for little ones.

Nothing in particular.
