Wonderful and Tranquil Stay
Wonderful hotel and resort. The hotel architecture is wonderful. The hotel room view capture a beautiful snowy landscape with a lake. The view gave me a sense of tranquility with a cozy ambience. The hotspring was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. One staff even drove me from hotel to the hotspring site. I really appreciated the helpfulness. The Japanese breakfast was tasty and remarkable. The transportation to the outlet and train station is convenient

Nice hotel but needs more frequent shuttle service
Everything was perfect except the shuttle service runs only every 30 minutes, and extremely packed with people. Would have been even more perfect if the hotel could run every 15 minutes shuttle so we can enjoy the onsen in evening as it is far from karuizawa prince hotel.

I booked an Executive Room. It is spacious with excellent view. Perfect for golfers who drive. The complementary 9 hole golf game is a bonus.. However, if you do not bring along with your golf clubs, you will find the club rental rather expensive (3500 yen for 9 hole). Any way, I enjoyed the stay much and will consider revisiting the hotel when I come to Karuizawa again.
