The hotel is about 15 minutes drive from Kazuizawa train station. If you don have your own transportation, taxi fare from train station to the hotel is close to 5000 yen one way. However, the resort is quite large and rooms are spacious. If you aim is just to relax and chill, this hotel is for you.
Grounds and the buildings in general are very beautiful. The furniture is off-putting. Might be trying to create a “Meiji-era” feeling but it’s comes off strange. The use of all the dark colors is not cheery. A more modern touch would improve the experience. Staff were great. Expedia should improve communication about this property though, as we did not make any dinner reservations in advance, it was a bit of an issue. Lucky for us, it wasn’t so busy. We liked both onsen spas and had the most wonderful facial/massage experience.
