Very friendly hosts, Akayko san went above and beyond to help us with dinner and sight seeing options around Karuizawa, include Saku city for some shopping options. Surroundings are peaceful, comfortable, warm and very clean. Thoughtful with little snacks and tea placed in the room daily too. Breakfast was definitely the highlight, very thoughtfully planned and made by Akayo san each morning, there were probably about 10 different items in the meal, she even accommodated a vegetarian in our family too. Thank you Ayala san and family for your kind hospitality!

Bathroom in one of the rooms was cosy, the other one was spacious, so just something to be aware of.

Extremely accommodating and friendly owners who went out of thier way several times during our stay. Firstly, we didn't have a booking to visit the Christmas candle light up at the Karuizawa Kogen Church but they offered to give us a lift anyways to try and visit which we did and somehow managed to get in. Secondly, they insisted on fetching us after dinner which was really kind of them. Lastly, we had a two year old travelling with us and they allowed him to play with a bowling pin set in the dining area. Lastly breakfast was a huge spread and you could see the huge effort they put in the dishes and presentation.

Our hosts were a lovely couple who took the time to make us feel extremely welcome. The care and attention to detail were beyond anything we have experienced previously. The Japanese breakfast was exquisitely presented. The building was beautiful, and the surround gardens were tranquil with lots of bird sounds. We will definitely choose to stay here again.

I could not pick a fault with our stay. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wishes to have a peaceful and well catered stay with genuine Japanese hospitality.

I normally don’t post reviews but my host Tatsuno-san and his wife were exceptional with their hospitality. When I skipped breakfast to commence a very early morning hike, out of concern, they drove me to pick up some packed food from 7-11, and then drove me to my start point a distance away. And then there was that surprise gift when I checked out. Highly recommended especially if you want a place with nice walks around.

It is far from the train station, but, there again, Tatsuno-san picked me up at 8 pm and sent me back the next morning.

Everything! The hosts exceeded our expectations in many aspects, their hospitality was more than impeccable. The room was modern and fresh with very comfortable beds. Bathroom had a bathtub and there was Apple TV in the room. And of course full Japanese breakfast with more dishes you could count - absolutely an experience in itself! It was one of the best lodging experiences I have ever had and I don't say this lightly.

No such thing existed.

Even better than free pick up ,the B&B owner took us to find our luggage which was lost in the station, took us to the famous sping in the night, took us to the location restaurant to have dinner, took us to the Art Gallery , took us to the train station. The owner is a gentleman,the lady is so brilliant,sweet , lovely.No matter when you arrive at the hotel,she will always welcome your arrival. The most wonderful thing is having the breakfast.What a great day it is,delicious and beautiful food. Thank you so much!

What a beautiful little stay! I can’t tell you how lovely the owners were, nothing was too much to ask. They picked us up from station and dropped us back the next day. They also went above and beyond our expectations and picked us up after our dinner and Onsen at 9.30pm at night. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Do yourself a favour and book this bed and breakfast you won’t be disappointed.

The hosts were simply amazing, exceeding any expectations you may have. I was sick when arriving to the hotel. But, with lots of help and care I received (plus delicious breakfasts and dinner!) I got much better in 3 days spent in Karuizawa and was ready to continue our journey through Japan. We even had a car tour so I could see Karuizawa despite not feeling well. ありがとうございます!

The place is very clean, it’s in the woods, surrounded by trees and my room had a little patio. The owners are really kind! I got to know them by chance from years back and decided to stay at their place this time (it’s actually the first trip to Japan after covid for us). Their hospitality impressed us and their BnB is as good as a hotel! Breakfast was amazing!!! They also have Apple TV in the room which means you can get to watch some non-Japanese content. Not to mention that the hosts are also pretty conversant in English! Highly recommend this place to travellers! I’ll definitely stay here again when I visit karuizawa next time!

Very well located for the places we wanted to visit in and around Karuizawa. The host were very hospital in a lovely Japanese way, and we had a choice of Japanese or western style breakfast. We chose the latter, since we prefer to eat Japanese style later in the day, and it was excellent! Laundry service was offered here, and it was very swift - we put our dirties out in the evening and they were done the next morning.
