Le Grand Karuizawa Hotel & Resort — Hotel in Karuizawa

We travelled with 18 months old twin toddlers and rent a car. We booked Yamanoue Suite Twin because it has a separate room where we can leave our toddlers to sleep while we do something else. It was a very big room, and the boys were happy to run around and explore all the different area of the room. However, they were only able to provide 1 cot (paid) per room despite saying they could do two when emailing them, probably for safety reasons. Lucky the beds are super big and we were able to co-sleep with each of them without any problem. There aren't any view from the room unfortunately but the resort itself does offer a very stunning view. We booked the package which includes breakfast and dinner for 3 nights. We missed our first breakfast, but did attend the other 2. Breakfast has a decent selection but were very similar each morning with little variation. Dinner was set french menu and was different each night. We ordered 1 child meal to share between the 2 every night. The child meal was so impressive though not everything is suitable for toddlers to eat (it wasn't designed for toddlers so we're ok with it). The staff understood without saying that our boys cannot be seated for long and was very efficient in serving our meals without compromising the service. There was some confusion with dinning time due to language barrier, but it wasn't a big deal at all. The only complaint I have was that there weren't very obvious instructions on how to call for a buggy when we were at Yamanoue Suite as there's usually no visible staff on site; it was a little inconvenient (and also cold being winter) so I did not end up trying their onsen at all which was disappointing as that was part of the reason why I booked this resort. All in all, we were very happy...

This is the best hotel we’ve ever been to. The hotel is located on top of the hill overlooking the city. The bed is spacious and can fit 2 adults and 2 kids.

Their restaurants serve excellent food. One of them is a Michelin-star restaurant.

You can also rent private bath for your family for a small fee. The private bath is located on top of the hill. You can get a nice view of the nearby town while taking a bath.

The hotel also has an outdoor heated pool. So you can still swim in it even on a cold month like November.

The hotel and villas are surrounded by trees and plants. Walking around the property is both fun and relaxing.

Their souvenir shop boasts of different local products. The apple juice and grape juice are must-try.

This hotel is getting popular. So booking a room for the golden week, summer break or winter break is difficult. I would suggest that you make early...
