Hoshinoya Karuizawa was built as a small town with everything on and off to make it &#8216;paradise on earth&#8217;. The pavilions are centered around a spectacular lake that adds to the magic of the place, especially at night, when the candles burn on the water. A traditional Japanese property is imitated with low tables and sofas, but with legroom in the floor for added comfort. After enjoying a day of surrounding forest trails, relax with seasonal dishes, spa and treatments inspired by Zen regulations, or relax in the bathtub &#8211; made from aromatic cedar &#8211; in your spacious room.
