Luxury Holidays At Hoshinoya Karuizawa
For a little culture and calm on your tailor-made Japan holiday, Hoshinoya Karuizawa is nestled amid the wildlife-rich forests of Karuizawa, while just a 90-minute train ride from vibrant Tokyo. Its design resembles a hot spring resort village, comprising self-contained pavilions, an elevated living room, dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a charming library lounge serving up complimentary tea, coffee, sparkling wine and local snacks. The property is around 70 percent self-sustaining through energy from the nearby hot springs, which are echoed through its own meditation bath and nature-based spa. Join an eco-tour of the adjacent Picchio Wildlife Centre or ride beside Mount Asama on horseback, before returning to feast on exceptional Kaiseki cuisine.
