Hoshino Resorts' flagship: a car-free village of rooms around a river, with no TVs, a light-and-dark Meditation Bath and seasonal Shinshu kaiseki — deeply restful, but meals cost extra and value is the sore point
HOSHINOYA Karuizawa is where Hoshino Resorts began: the family's hot-spring inn of 1914 was rebuilt in 2005 as the first Hoshinoya, a 'village in a valley' of 77 rooms set along terraced water channels. Staff drive you to your room in a small EV, rooms have no TV and are warmed by geothermal floor heating, and only guests and staff are allowed inside. Japanese guests praise the stillness — 'quiet rooms' and 'a calm atmosphere' are among the most-tagged comments on one review map, where it scores 4.24 across 83 reviews — as well as the river-side Mizunami rooms, the Meditation Bath with its 'room of light' and 'room of darkness', and seasonal kaiseki at the Kasuke restaurant (a 2024 guest's first matsutake of the year; a 2026 guest's venison fried in cherry leaves). Free drinks at the library and terrace lounges add to the ease. The recurring doubt is price: rooms are sold without meals by default, dinner at Kasuke is ¥21,780 per adult, and bloggers' bills run from ¥177,016 for two nights room-only (a family of four) to about ¥250,000 for one night for two with meals. Several reviewers call the value poor or the service assembly-line, the Mountain Alley rooms have steep stairs and no lift, and the public Hoshino area outside — Harunire Terrace and the Tombo-no-yu spa — gets crowded. One-night bookings open only 30 days ahead.
Hướng dẫn chọn phòng
Những gì du khách từng ở đây thực sự khuyênNên chọn
Mizunami (水波の部屋) — the water-side rooms
The default recommendation: 57–68㎡ rooms facing the river through the centre of the village, with a terrace where wild ducks swim past. A 2024 guest paid about ¥250,000 for one night with dinner and breakfast and found nothing to be disappointed by; a 2023 blogger in a second-floor triple praised the wide balcony and view. Warm even in sub-zero January thanks to floor heating. Specific rooms can't be requested.
Niwa-roji (庭路地の部屋) — garden-lane houses, including the dog rooms
The largest type (48–81㎡), in houses linked by garden lanes. The dog rooms are here, with tiled floors; a 2025 guest with their dog loved the stay but not the price, and a 2021 guest found the views limited but the resort the most dog-friendly of any Hoshino property.
Nên tránh
Yama-roji (山路地の部屋) — the Mountain Alley rooms, especially with mobility issues
The entry category (44–67㎡). A March 2026 guest on the top floor wrote 'there's no lift, of course, and the stairs are steep — the complete opposite of barrier-free'; a 2023 reviewer said the upstairs rooms don't suit older guests or small children. Ground-floor rooms have little view, and the upper-floor view looks over the Mizunami rooms. Rooms have a wooden tub, but we found no confirmation that it's filled with onsen water.

Tìm hiểu kỹ về ẩm thực
Nhận định về bữa sáng
4.2/5The 'mountain breakfast' at Kasuke (¥4,235) — a soy-milk tofu hotpot, fluffy rolled omelette — or a Japanese or Western breakfast in your room at the same price; one 2026 guest found it 'fairly orthodox'
Book dinner when you book the room — Kasuke and in-room dining fill up, and a 2021 guest got no reminder and ended up queueing in the Hoshino area. Bathe at Tombo-no-yu in the guests-only hour, 9:00–10:00, before day visitors arrive.
Điểm đáng chú ý của bữa tối
4.3/5Rooms are sold without meals by default. Kasuke serves a seasonal 'mountain kaiseki' or beef shabu-shabu from 17:30 (¥21,780 per adult including service; a vegetarian kaiseki with five days' notice). Bloggers describe first-of-season matsutake and chestnuts, carp sashimi from the resort's own tanks, venison fried in cherry leaves and rice with sakura shrimp. In-room dinners come in stacked boxes or as a hotpot and are generous. The cheaper Sonmin Shokudo (¥9,800) is outside in the public Hoshino area. Critics call the food ordinary for the price, and one 2021 reviewer wrote that the value was 'extremely poor'.
Onsen và thư giãn: thực tế ra sao
Hoshino Onsen, a simple alkaline spring opened in 1915, described officially as free-flowing. (One booking site lists it as a heated bicarbonate spring.)
The Meditation Bath inside the resort is for guests only (15:00–10:00, entered by code): you walk through a dark water passage from a 'room of light' to a 'room of darkness', with a sauna of about 70°C, a cold plunge and a terrace. Most guests love it; one found it dark and scary. Tombo-no-yu, the public day spa in the Hoshino area (10:00–22:00, ¥1,350–1,550), has indoor and outdoor baths and a sauna; bloggers say Hoshinoya guests bathe free, and 9:00–10:00 is for them alone. It's crowded at night. Rooms have their own wooden tub.
Tombo-no-yu refuses tattoos unless covered with up to eight of its cover stickers (10×8cm, sold at reception). Hoshino Resorts' group policy, linked from the Meditation Bath, doesn't bar tattoos outright but lets staff refuse the large bath if other guests might feel afraid.
Lưu ý và những điều tinh tế
- 01
Getting there: Tokyo to Karuizawa is 80 minutes by Hokuriku Shinkansen.

Taxi from Karuizawa Station about 15 minutes; summer traffic can make it much longer.

Check-in 15:00, check-out 12:00.
- 03
One-night stays can be booked only from 30 days ahead; before that, only stays of two nights or more.
