Travel
At Hoshinoya Karuizawa, a stay-type resort in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, we propose a winter stay in Karuizawa, which is rich in nature. We will provide a relaxing time to please your body and soul through hot springs that warm your body, meals where you can enjoy Shinshu’s food culture and seasonal ingredients, and activities to enjoy the cold of winter.
Hoshinoya Karuizawa has “Tombo no Yu” and “Meditation Bath”, which are hot spring facilities that flow directly from the source, which is the same as Hoshino Onsen, which has been preserved since its establishment. In the morning, you can wake up in the open-air bath of the dragonfly hot water, and in the evening, you can relax your mind and body in the mediation bath. You can choose according to your time and purpose.
Hoshino Onsen Dragonfly Hot Spring
There is a fragrant cypress indoor bath, an open-air bath and sauna, and a space where you can take a bath in the cold winter air. On a snowy day, the world of silver and silver spreads all over, and you can enjoy the snow-viewing bath while only hearing the chirping of birds, the murmuring of the river, and the sound of the wind.
In addition, although it is open as a day trip hot spring, there is a time exclusively for guests in the morning. You can wake up refreshed in the hot springs where the rising sun shines without worrying about congestion.
Meditation Bus
This is a facility exclusively for Hoshinoya Karuizawa guests, where you can experience the unique bathing method “meditation bathing” that goes back and forth between light and darkness. It can be used all night and has a lukewarm spring temperature of about 39-40 degrees Celsius.
A temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius leads the parasympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system to a relaxed mode, leading to a good night’s sleep. It not only warms the cold body, but can also be expected to improve sleep and other disorders caused by stress.
We offer delicate and wild dishes that combine Shinshu’s food culture and Japanese cooking techniques at the main dining “Kasuke” and in-room dining exclusively for guests. You can enjoy the taste of the season slowly in a calm atmosphere.
In Shinshu, the culture of preparing preserved foods and fermented foods in winter has been inherited. Now that awareness of immunity is increasing more than ever due to the influence of the new corona, I would like you to eat healthy dishes using fermented ingredients and seasonal vegetables and get well from the inside of your body.
Hoshinoya Karuizawa, which has a vast site of about 12,000 tsubo, is built along the terrain to maintain a beautiful landscape. The trees in the garden are as they are, with as little modification as possible to the ones that grew naturally. The guest rooms are villa-style separate buildings with plenty of privacy.
It is designed so that you can feel the nature from the room, and you can enjoy the winter view from the spacious sofa and the bath in the room. In addition, it is equipped with floor heating that uses natural energy such as hot spring exhaust heat, so you can stay warm even in the cold winter months.
Karuizawa in winter has a high rate of fine weather, and the temperature drops below freezing to create beautiful natural beauty such as clear air, rime on trees, and frost columns. This is a winter-only activity that takes advantage of its characteristics. Why don’t you get out of your daily routine and enjoy the cold of winter?
