Amazing and classy experience, there is free shuttle to train station!
Pros:

It’s amazing! Walking distance to Kyu Karuizawa streets, also super close/walkable to bus stop to Hoshino area. I enjoy every bit of the stay! The hotel is very beautiful, the garden as well. Everything with good taste.
There is free shuttle bus to pick up from Train station to hotel, and backwards. You just need to reserve via message in advance :)

免費的車站接駁，很方便。雖然二樓沒有電梯，樓梯寬闊，搬大行李沒問題。 暖氣很強，下雪的冬天在室內很溫暖。
Pros:

優美的環境，彷彿住在森林裏。
