Spend time as if it were your own villa
That's the style of "Hotel Indigo Karuizawa"
Karuizawa, where the great nature including Mt. Asama and the scent of Western culture coexist, is a unique place with a charm that cannot be found in other villa areas. Since it was discovered by foreign missionaries as a summer resort during the Meiji period, the imperial family and cultural figures gathered here in the summer, and a salon culture flourished where they enjoyed socializing. Hotel Indigo Karuizawa is a hotel where you can experience the magnificent nature and sophisticated culture unique to Karuizawa. The exterior, which uses a lot of Karamatsu from Nagano Prefecture, is stylish and harmonizes with the surrounding nature. When you enter the entrance, a large fireplace welcomes you. It's the moment when you feel instantly relieved by the warmth of the flames.
About 5 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station. Beautiful entrance that looks like a modern chalet
There are 6 types of guest rooms. All of the spaces are wood-based and comfortable, like a villa. As this hotel is managed by IHG, one of the world's largest hotel groups, the quality of the interior is high. ``Standard River View (view bath type)'' where you can enjoy the four seasons of nature from the bathroom window facing the balcony, ``Accessible Room'' for disabled people, ``Standard Private Garden View'' with a private garden, spacious 64 square meters. There are a wide variety of options, including ``suites'' where you can fully enjoy nature in a spacious room.
The spacious suites come with private gardens. The walls are decorated with art pieces inspired by Karuizawa.
The suite's bathroom is a great size. You can relax and feel the nature without being disturbed by anyone.
Local gastronomy dynamically cooked over wood fire
One of the great pleasures of staying at a hotel is the food. At this hotel, the Italian food served by the all-day dining restaurant ``KAGARIBI'' is popular. We recommend enjoying local gastronomy that makes use of local ingredients, such as homemade pizza baked in a pizza oven and meat and vegetable dishes dynamically cooked over a wood fire, along with Japanese wine. The dessert that appears at the end changes with the seasons, and is a masterpiece that shows off the pastry chef's taste.
Plus, breakfast is sure to make you feel better. The chef's special frittata uses vegetables from local Yanagisawa Farm and eggs from Asama Komachi, vitamin-rich smoothies and juices, homemade bread, and more, so you can recharge your energy in the morning.
Enjoy ``wood-fired Italian'' made with fresh ingredients from Karuizawa.
All-day dining ``KAGARIBI'' has an open atrium and a space where you can feel the warmth of wood.
Relax freely and have your own time here
The spa and fitness center, which are essential to hotel life, also have high satisfaction rates. Enjoy the carbonated spring water in the large public bath, which has a simple and relaxing atmosphere. Here, we want you to stretch your arms and legs as much as you can and take your time in the bath. You can feel the fine air bubbles unique to carbonated springs covering your skin, and after taking a bath, you feel warmed from the core of your body.
The spa operates the prestigious spa ``The Spa by HARNN'' from Thailand. The treatments are excellent, combining oriental medicine and traditional methods. It is a blissful time to receive a treatment after warming up thoroughly in the carbonated spring in the large public bath. Be sure to make a reservation and try it out.
The fitness center is equipped with state-of-the-art machines, including self-propelled machines that are designed with maximum environmental impact. It's open 24 hours a day, so you can feel free to get quality training anytime.
As the sun sets, guests gather in the courtyard named ``Forest Garden.'' In the evening, a fire is lit in the fire pit. As I stare at the flickering flames with a glass in my hand in a quiet place free from noise, I gradually feel refreshed.
``Forest Garden'' is a place where you can relax with a glass of wine.
A large public bath where you can enjoy carbonated spring water. There is also an open-air bath and sauna.
Like creating another place for myself in Karuizawa
Karuizawa is only an hour away from Tokyo, making it easy to get there and back. If you stay at Hotel Indigo Karuizawa, even for a short holiday, you are sure to improve your quality of life. Perhaps it is because of the sensations that cannot be obtained from staying at home or the office, but by placing yourself in Karuizawa, even your way of thinking and ideas change.
It can be seen that the surrounding environment is also a major attraction of this hotel. You can create your own original work by attending a woodblock print class or glass workshop, which is just a 5-minute drive away. You can experience art at the Karuizawa Senju Hiroshi Art Museum, the Wakita Art Museum, and the Muro Saisei Memorial Museum, and experience beautiful nature at Shiraito Falls, Kumoba Pond, and Riyama. In this environment where you can easily enjoy Karuizawa's unique culture and nature, you are sure to have a fulfilling time for yourself.
Just a few changes to your environment on the weekend can change your life. In life, we need a third place like Hotel Indigo Karuizawa.
