Experience of the stay
We stayed with my husband and our 6 and 4-year-old children.
The kids were thrilled with the unique yagura room, climbing up and down the stairs.
As a worrywart, I was concerned that the kids might fall from the yagura at night when they were sleepy... haha.
We slept in the space below with my mother and the two kids, but of course, it was quite cramped.
If there are two people up and two down, I think it would be comfortably cozy.
Having a separate bathroom and toilet is also a blessing for families with children.
For dinner, we bought our favorite side dishes from Tsuruya, a local supermarket in Nagano Prefecture, and had a side dish party in our room⭐︎
There were also people in the shared space enjoying takeout meals. At night, the courtyard was beautifully illuminated, creating a delightful atmosphere.
Experiences during the trip
Tsurutontan in Old Karuizawa has a great atmosphere and is highly recommended!
If you order 2-3 servings of udon and divide it for the kids, it’s surprisingly cost-effective! There are also menu items exclusive to the Karuizawa store, so be sure to give it a try⭐︎
If the kids get bored shopping in Old Karuizawa or at the outlet, you can take them to "Yukawa Furusato Park" behind Tsuruya supermarket, where there are large play equipment, and they can enjoy playing there.
You can also see the Shinkansen passing by, which makes the kids excited.
The fresh donuts from nearby RK Donuts are fluffy and delicious, so I recommend trying them❤︎
