The Hiramatsu Karuizawa Miyota

The hotel rooms are spacious and have private hot springs. The decoration is high-end and meticulous, and the service is attentive and enthusiastic. I tasted the hotel's French and Italian dinner sets, which were very delicious and meticulous, at least Michelin one-star level. The only drawback of the hotel is that it is far from Karuizawa, but the hotel has a free shuttle bus to Miyota Train Station, and it takes about 15 minutes to get to Karuizawa by train. This hotel is a representative of low-key luxury, and its level is not inferior to Hoshinoya, and it is very cost-effective

The hotel is located in the Miyota area, about 30 minutes by car from JR Karuizawa Station and about 150 kilometers from Tokyo. The hotel environment is very good, but it is not very convenient to travel. The hotel's dining is mainly Western food, with an Italian restaurant and a French restaurant. Room service and breakfast are also Western.

Although the hotel name says Karuizawa, it is actually in Miyota-cho next door (locals also complained to me because no one came if it was only Miyota). It costs 6,000-7,000 yen to take a taxi from Karuizawa to the hotel. The shuttle taxi arranged by the hotel can only pick up at Miyota Station (take the Shinano Railway, three stations away from Karuizawa). I told the hotel that I wanted to celebrate my mother's birthday, so I prepared greeting cards, desserts and bear towels, but compared with the previous hotels that were not so expensive, it seemed a bit cheap. There is no extra charge for soft drinks and alcoholic drinks in the room refrigerator. They are provided according to the number of people. We have four people staying (four bottles of local apple juice, four bottles of local peach juice, four cans of Suntory oolong tea, four bottles of Perrier, four cans of Karuizawa beer, four cans of Yebisu beer and two bottles of local sparkling wine). The content provided is also a bit average compared to other Japanese hotels of the same price that provide Moët & Chandon champagne. The dinner content is sufficient and delicious, and the chef will come to meet at the end. The marshmallow roasting activity is from 17:00 to 19:00. Check out at 11:00 the next morning, and the hotel also provides free delivery service to Miyota Station.

We booked a terrace villa, which was perfect for a couple with two children. The hotel is low-key and comfortable, and is a good choice for staying in Karuizawa besides Hoshinoya.

The room is very comfortable and clean. When you come, you can take the subway from Karuizawa to Miyota Station. The hotel has a shuttle service (free). When you leave, the hotel's free shuttle only goes to Miyota Station. If you go directly to Karuizawa Station, You need to ask the hotel to book a taxi in advance, which costs about 6,700 yen and takes 20 minutes.
