Top Karuizawa Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel Karuizawa Ekimae Karuizawaso

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for a visit to Kariuzawa. Next to the train station and they will hold your bags while you explore the town, then pick up your bag and head to the train station. Very helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had in Japan- lots of local, traditional foods cooked from scratch. Such a treat!"
