Although the room rate isn't cheap, I think overall it's a hotel with excellent value for money. Firstly, the hotel environment itself is superb. It's spacious with lots of greenery, including a lake, trees, lawns, and small villas, making it very pleasant for a stroll. Secondly, there are hot springs and a shuttle service. Plus, right next to the hotel is a beautiful and very large outlet mall, offering convenient dining options. The shuttle runs in a loop, taking guests to JR Karuizawa Station and the outlets. Even though it's not a far walk to the outlets anyway. The hot springs ♨️ are free for hotel guests and include outdoor baths and a sauna. The hotel also has a golf course, which we didn't visit, but we saw staff assisting guests with their golf clubs in the morning. The only downside is that the hotel is quite large, and some guest rooms are a bit of a walk from the front desk. The West Wing is closer to the shopping plaza, while the East Wing is closer to the ski resort. It seems the West and East Wings are booked separately. The rooms are not small, and the window views are very pleasant. All in all, it's a hotel I would happily choose to stay at again.

I specifically booked this hotel for a golf trip. It's about a 10-minute walk from JR Karuizawa Station, and they offer free, on-demand shuttle service. Right outside the hotel (a 5-minute walk) is the Prince Outlet, and you can access the ski lifts directly, making it a one-stop shop for shopping, skiing, and more. 

The hotel's forest hot spring (separate for men and women) features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the snow or lush trees, offering a truly therapeutic experience. The property includes a main building and forest cabins, all surrounded by trees, ensuring a quiet and peaceful stay. 

The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The cabins come with a private garden and an outdoor hot spring, definitely worth staying in.

There are several Prince Hotels in Karuizawa, and this one is 5-star but a bit old. To get to the hot springs or the outlet mall, you have to take a shuttle bus. The hotel rooms are laid out in a long corridor, so if you're unlucky enough to get a room in the 50s, you'll feel like you're walking forever. The scenery, however, is quite nice, as it directly faces the golf course. Besides providing shuttle buses to the hot springs, outlet mall, and train station, the hotel also offers private car service during off-hours. The concierge also has free bicycle rentals (electric and non-electric). What's really great is that upon check-out, you can arrange to have your luggage delivered directly to a service point at the outlet mall (this is excellent, no need to drag your own bags to catch a ride). All in all, it's still pretty good.

Absolutely impressed! It truly lives up to its reputation as a resort town – peaceful, beautiful, and with amazing views. The rooms were incredibly clean, the service was excellent, and the onsen was a perfect 100. The classic-style rooms were clean and cozy, with high-quality furniture. I would definitely return if I have the chance. Parking is free for those with cars, and the hotel also offers a shuttle service for train travelers. The food is high-quality, and the restaurant, rooms, onsen, and views are simply stunning.

We booked a small cabin for 8 people, and the hotel includes 3 time meals in the lobby. In the morning it is breakfast, and other times are snacks and tea. You cannot drive your own car inside the hotel. There is a hotel car pick-up and drop-off service. All hotel areas and Ole are available. It is very close to the Wangzi Ski Resort. Walk for 5 minutes. Ole can also walk over, just a few minutes. It is very big and there are many restaurants inside. But there is a limit to what can be packaged.

I thoroughly enjoyed my favorite sulfurous hot spring!

I've loved this hot spring since I was a child, for 40 years now. The building is old, but I'm grateful that I can still visit the same hot spring in the same place!

This is a wonderful hotel far from civilization. Upon arrival, we encountered a bit of an issue – the buses from the train station stop running quite early. So, we had to take a taxi, which cost more than a night's stay, but it was absolutely worth it. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need.

The hot springs themselves are magnificent; they are natural, unchlorinated, and the water circulates directly from a volcanic source. The springs have different water compositions, which are presented in separate pools.

Breakfast and dinner can be purchased on-site. Also, there's an eco-tax of 300 yen per night upon check-out.

What's inconvenient: make sure to stock up on food in advance. There's only one shop on the premises with very strange operating hours and a limited selection. Buses to the station run twice a day, but the schedule is such that if you leave in the morning, you can return, but if you take the midday bus, you won't be able to get back.

How to get there: Go to Karuizawa Station, from there take the shuttle to the hotel, usually around 4 PM (confirm with the hotel when booking).

Our room had a mountain view, and it was nice and open with a wide view of the sky.
The room was spacious and there was a sofa, and there was plenty of room to spread out our carrier.
Best of all, there was no step to get to the unit bath! I think this is rare and really appreciated.
The water pressure in the shower in the private room was good and we could switch it on, which was great.
As we were on top of the mountain, the path to get there was rough and there were monkeys around, so we hurried to get there before the sun went down, and we weren't able to buy dinner in town, so we had to eat cup ramen. It would have been nice if the convenience store, which is open until 9pm, had a few more options for late-night snacks.

The ski-in/ski-out access to the hotel was incredibly convenient, making it a one-stop shop for dining, entertainment, and relaxation. Although the room was small, it was well-equipped, and the view from the window was quite lovely. My only issue was the incredibly loud noise from some equipment that started around 6 AM each morning, waking me up three days in a row. Additionally, the hotel's dining options were all pretty mediocre and not great value for money.
