Kyu Karuizawa Hotel Otowa No Mori

Very beautiful small house, the room is big (for Japan), very cost-effective. The service is very good. The waiter can speak English, Japanese and Chinese. The surrounding environment is also very beautiful, full of small houses and forests. It takes a few minutes to get to Karuizawa Station by taxi for 800 yen. The hotel has a shuttle bus. To go to the Stone Church, there is a bus stop 6 minutes walk from the hotel (not many buses), and a taxi is about 3000 yen one way.

The hotel service is thoughtful, the consultation response is timely, the front desk guy is handsome and nice, and he also taught the children to roast marshmallows. The hotel has some history, but it is still clean and tidy. It's a pity that I only stayed for one night and didn't have a good time to walk around. I will choose it again if I have the chance.

Kei Otowa Hotel is very close to the Karuizawa Shinkansen Station and has convenient transportation. The hotel has a scheduled bus to pick up guests to the station, which is a 3-minute journey and very punctual. This is the second hotel I chose to stay in on this trip. I have a good impression. The hotel is a French white building with a very European style. It is divided into the old and new building areas. The old building is being renovated. This time I stayed in the new building. The wooden staircase, the room is not too big or small, clean, and all toiletries are available. You can see the autumn scenery outside the window. There are 2 sets of breakfast to choose from, 4 different varieties of French bread and cakes, with Kei Otowa Forest's special orange and strawberry jam (available in the hotel's small shopping mall), which really surprised us foodies. It was so soft and freshly baked that it was too delicious. I remember it deeply. Breakfast was in a large restaurant. After careful observation, except for us, most of the people staying were RB people who came to Karuizawa for vacation. There is a small garden outside the hotel. The clear blue sky, fresh air, red and yellow leaves and fallen leaves are so beautiful that I can't express them in words. The hotel service is also good. If you ask about the restaurant, they will lead you in person. Turn left from the gate to the station, and turn right to go to Karuizawa Old Street, where there are various shopping stores and food stores. There is also a small road behind that is a rich area. The names of the villas are written on the door, but they are all empty. It is said that Karuizawa is the back garden of the rich in Japan, and it is true. We walked for more than 1 kilometer in the morning. The environment was very quiet and the air was excellent. I will stay in this hotel again if I have the chance.
