More Details
HOSHINOYA Karuizawa was established in the valley of the Karuizawa Hoshino Area, where the Yukawa River flows, in an attempt to renovate the Hoshino Onsen Hotel, which has been in operation for more than 90 years. During the construction of HOSHINOYA, about 700 trees were transplanted and protected from where the building was built. When it was completed, they were returned, and the long-aged trees gently covered the site. Gardeners continue to protect the landscape. This elegant countryside resort represents an ideal: a modernized Japan that still preserves its ecosystems to allow birds and other wildlife to flourish. Guests can enjoy many different types of retreat such as bird watching, forest bathing, ceramic crafting, horse riding, a spa and onsen soaking. The guest pavilions are designed to serve not just as bedrooms, but as comfortable living spaces imbued with natural blessings like cool winds and geothermal heating. Hoshinoya also has many options to dine such as shabu shabu, kaiseki courses, in room dining, and breakfast. Whether its at a restaurant or lounge, regional ingredients are incorporated into dishes that draw out their sophisticated flavors, so that every meal is a feast of seasonal delights and culinary discovery. Karuizawa is known as the Japanese Alps and is a beautiful destination in itself.
