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.
