This was simply the best and most lovely hotel stay in Japan ever and I have traveled there many times. The staff are so incredibly kind - it is overwhelming. The rooms are old-fashioned but quaint. The location is fantastic - at the end of the road so nice and quiet. The buffet breakfast was lovely - highly recommended. If you're using Google Maps to get there - take a cab from the train station and don't bother with the bus. It's only 1300 yen and so worth it. Absolutely loved this place and will most definitely go back!

Had an authentic Japanese ryokan experience. We opted for the Japanese style bedding with half board. So the complete tatami mats, sliding shoji doors and futton bedding. Dinner was Kaiseki, and fugu was on the menu, simply amazing! Staff is also very nice and polite. I definitely highly recommend Tsuyu Ryokan!

Nothing special. Regular 3 star hotel. Breakfast fully booked, dinner fully booked that what we found out after making a room reservation. Small old rooms with tiny bathroom. Not cheap for what you get. Location is good.

20mins walk to the karuizawa station, it only costs around 1000yen for a taxi ride. Dinner is a must try here, very delicious and decent traditional Japanese cuisine. Room size is okay, just the public bath is a bit too small.

入住前聯絡都會儘速回覆，住宿期間的服務相當貼心，房客的請求都會盡可能滿足。 早晚餐非常讚，有很多在地料理，訂房時傳達飲食習慣的話，會配合調整菜色。 房間很有老溫泉旅館的感覺，但是廁所之類的設施都有經過改修，很新很乾淨。 溫泉浴場不大，沒有露天浴池，可是泉質很好，泡完皮膚會滑溜滑溜的。 旅館在舊輕井澤商店街的盡頭，周邊不會過於吵雜，觀光又相當便利。
