Relax and reconnect with the rhythm of your busy city life in a place enveloped in deep silence. Hoshinoya Karuizawa, located in the valley at the foot of Mount Asama in Nagano Prefecture, offers a winter-only hot spring stay that will warm your body and soul.

The centerpiece of this stay is a luxurious hot spring experience in two different hot springs with free-flowing spring water. At Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu, you can enjoy a liberating winter bath in the open-air bath and indoor bath overlooking the snowy landscape. Meanwhile, in the Meditation Bath, available exclusively to guests, you can spend special time reflecting on yourself in a tranquil space where the shadows of light and darkness intertwine.

Additionally, on the terrace of the Meditation Bath, located on a hill where you can gaze upon the starry sky, there will be a "Stargazing Hot Spring Therapy" where you can enjoy the brilliance of the stars shining down upon you while sipping on a warm, simmering bath.

At Mori no Hotori Cafe & Bar, where the pond freezes over and transforms into a skating rink, you can spend a relaxing evening in a space where the flames of a wood stove flicker.

In the morning, there will be a "Nobi Nobi Breathing" session where you can stretch in the snowy scenery to get your body and mind in order. Taking in fresh air and warming your body from the inside will ensure you start your day feeling refreshed.

The Terraced Rice Field Lounge, which offers a panoramic view of the rice terraces that are a symbol of Hoshinoya Karuizawa, is converted into a kotatsu seating area in the winter and serves afternoon tea, limited to one group per day. Guests can enjoy Japanese sweets made with ingredients unique to Shinshu along with an original shield.

A hot spring retreat with two hot springs and clear air. As we welcome the new year, why not try to rejuvenate your mind and body in the crisp winter air of Karuizawa?
