Book a Shibukawa Resort

"Happy "

"The Indigo Karuizawa was by far, the best hotel we stayed at during our stay in Japan. The grounds were very modern and the rooms were amazingly well designed while being very spacious and quiet. Amazing spot to take a break during your Japan travels."

"Onsen. Require renovation. Limited local transportation to move around. Staff very helpful, Food quantity too much and quality need to be improved. "

"Spacious room for a small family. Well located being close to shopping strip and within walking distance of good restaurants. Parking lot opposite the hotel was handy, as we had a hire car."

"Charming traditional hospitality "

"Beautiful surrounding "

"Good"

"The hotel is close to a bus station and has parking right out front. It is a street away from the Ikaho stone steps but there is a forest and mountain/hill between them. You can walk a path through it, it is a bit steep if you have mobility issues but if you are fit then no problem. Rooms are spacious and traditional, airconditioning as well. Had a toilet as well and bath and shower but I only used the public bath. Their public baths are very nice, as usual, one side is a bit nicer but they switch genders daily so you can experience both. The food was amazing, I was wondering if doing the half board would be worth it and I am glad I did it. Lots of food in the area but this was the best selection of different kinds of Japanese food I have seen at a hotel. Food was delicious as well. Not a lot of English speaking people in this town, keep that in mind. The Onsen at the hotel have clear water, if you want to experience the "golden" (red) water with the iron in it then you need to visit one of the ones in town that offer that. I did and I am glad I experienced it. Cost was a bit higher than some other ones I was looking at but I think I made the right choice. The town tourist area is quite small and could be seen in an afternoon if you have a good pace, the bus transportation is more of your limitation in making this a day trip unless you plan carefully."

"Beautiful private bath and spacious room. Staff can speak English. "
