Hotel Indigo Karuizawa
A stylish hotel opened in February 2022, designed to let guests experience the unique “neighborhood” spirit of Karuizawa.
Opened in February 2022, this stylish hotel exudes the atmosphere of a Karuizawa villa. Inspired by the spirit of the local “neighborhood,” the interiors feature works by Karuizawa-based artists and sophisticated design elements throughout.
The impressive wooden lobby welcomes guests with a central fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hotel offers 155 guest rooms in six types, each equipped with either a balcony or a private garden, allowing guests to experience Karuizawa’s majestic nature even indoors. In addition to private bathrooms in each room, the hotel also features a large bath with an open-air carbonated spring, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Dining is centered around KAGARIBI, the all-day restaurant renowned for its “wood-fired Italian” cuisine, where fresh local ingredients are prepared dynamically over open flames. Guests can enjoy dishes such as house-made pizzas and hearty meat selections.
Outdoors, the Forest Garden offers a unique setting with a bar counter and evening bonfires. A leisurely stroll here at dusk, with the glow of the fire and seasonal ambiance, is highly recommended.
