Experience of the stay
Checked in at 3 PM. Dropped off our luggage at the hotel and headed straight to the bath. With a sauna available, it was a wonderfully relaxing time. So luxurious to soak in the bath starting from 3 PM! We enjoyed dinner at a nearby soba restaurant which was delicious. Afterwards, we returned to the hotel and spent some quality time with the kids. After putting them to bed, I read a book on the balcony of our room. The pleasant temperature and a beer from Karuizawa made for a relaxed happy hour. The morning began at 5:30 AM with a trip to the gym. I had the gym to myself and ran on the machine for 30 minutes. At 6 AM, I enjoyed the first soak in the bath followed by breakfast! And what a feast it was! I was surprised by the variety of breakfast options and ended up eating too much. The hotel atmosphere was wonderful, and I would love to return.
Experiences during the trip
Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station at 9 AM and arrive in Karuizawa in just one hour. We visited the outlet and went to a waterfall, checking in at 3 PM. Dinner was soba from Kirisato. The next day was spent leisurely exploring the Hoshino area and enjoying a fulfilling weekend.
