This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk to the Karuizawa Outlet Mall, and offers a free shuttle bus service to and from JR Karuizawa Station, making travel and shopping incredibly convenient. The property is surrounded by lush forest and greenery. The guest rooms are spacious and airy, with balconies offering serene woodland views. Each room also features a private hot spring bath, where floor-to-ceiling windows bring the mountain scenery indoors. The buffet breakfast is a delightful blend of local Shinshu ingredients and a wide variety of delicious Western options. There's even a FamilyMart convenience store in the lobby, ensuring all amenities are well-covered. The staff are polite and attentive, and guests can rent bicycles to explore the town, creating a relaxed and comfortable vacation atmosphere. It's the ideal base for short, chartered tours around Karuizawa.

Clean and tidy. The shuttle bus to Karuizawa Station right at the doorstep is very convenient; you can ask the front desk for the schedule. The outlet is just a 5-minute walk away. Major nearby attractions include Stone Church, Kumoba Pond, and Old Karuizawa. This is my third visit to Karuizawa. The previous two times were during the winter ski season. Spring has a pleasant temperature; although there's a temperature difference between morning and night, strolling around during the day is very comfortable. I highly recommend visiting in spring, April-May.

I brought my own snowboard to Karuizawa. It's a 70-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station to JR Karuizawa Station. The Shinkansen luggage racks have straps to secure snowboards. After exiting the station, head to the hotel service center (open until 7 PM) located on the far right of the 7/11 convenience store at the South Exit (Pic 7). You can drop off your luggage there and then explore the Plaza unencumbered. Take the brown hotel shuttle bus to B21, where The Prince is located, every hour on the hour and half-hour. Your luggage will already be in your room, but snowboards are not allowed inside. Each day, I'd take my own snowboard on the brown bus to the gondola at the East Building. You can buy ski passes and rent equipment there. Ski pass prices are shown in Pic 6. Only guests staying in the East Building can use the hotel's lockers for ski equipment. The West Building also has a gondola, but it requires a short walk. You can't enter the hotel wearing ski boots, but the Makibi restaurant seems to be an exception. After skiing, take the green bus back to the hotel. Of the two onsen, Hongye Bisen has newer facilities and better views from the outdoor bath. All Prince Hotel restaurants require reservations made via QR code. Pics 4 and 5 show the breakfast at the main building, which is high quality and delicious. From 10 AM to 8 PM, you can enjoy unlimited soft drinks in the bar area. Finally, use the luggage delivery service when checking out. I think The Prince offers the best value for money.

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.

The room facilities are quite old, showing signs of its former glory.

However, it's located right inside the ski resort, making it very convenient to get around.

The onsen (hot spring) is also very authentic. If you enjoy skiing, this is a good option.

Be sure to buy some food at the convenience store at the foot of the mountain before going to the hotel. The hotel itself has its own shop, but the selection is very limited.

ควรขับรถมาพักที่นี่ มีที่จอดรถเหลือเฟือ บรรยากาศในห้องค่อนข้างเก่า แต่มีความสะอาดสูงสุด ฉันชอบHot spring แบบ Open Air มีความโปร่ง สบาย พนักงานสุภาพมากๆ
ฉันแจ้งว่าในห้องมีSlipper คู่เดียว ไม่นานก็มีพนักงานนำมาให้ถึงห้อง สุดประทับใจ

Remember to check the bus schedule when you go, as there are only a few buses (around 9 am, 2:30 pm, and 4 pm).

Basically, you'll need to eat all three meals at the hotel. The round trip by bus down the mountain takes about 2 hours.

The hotel doesn't include air conditioning. I went in early October and the temperature was 11 degrees Celsius, which was quite nice. Hiking was comfortable, and the scenery was superb. You can even ski in winter.

WiFi isn't available in every hotel; the one I stayed at, the Forest Trail Inn, didn't have it—it was quite secluded! 👍

The service was excellent and the views were stunning. The complimentary executive lounge access was a real highlight – the food was delicious and you get a fantastic view of Tokyo Tower, perfect for photos. The spa and fitness center services were also good. Everything was very clean, and the hotel's ambiance was beautiful, with a well-designed lobby. The service staff were incredibly attentive, always smiling, and just wonderful!
