Karuizawa – Gistihús

Everything about this place was great. The owner is so nice, so helpful, very funny and outgoing. We had lovely chats with him! Also he helped us a lot with planning our hikes and our transport. The breakfast and dinner provided were great, very healthy and fresh. The dorm room was super comfortable and cozy. The hostel is surrounded by trees and waking up there is one of the best experiences we had in Japan! Would 100% come back when visiting Japan again!

The cottage was tiny, but comfortable. Position very good. With a small charge we had the possibility to bring our dog with us.

Beautiful Area and such a lovely host. It was about a 30 minute walk from the train station uphill (So beware if you have luggage with you!) It's such a beautiful house, it's quaint and felt comfortable to stay in. Two spaces with locks for traditional showers, baths and it seems there were space heaters for the colder months. There were plenty of toilets and one in our room as well, sinks with soaps and towels. The host provided toothbrushes if needed, has a microwave and mini fridge for guests to use upstairs near the sinks, and a kettle for hot water/tea/coffee. There is a fan mounted to the wall in our room which was very nice and we could open the windows for cool fresh air. Definitely a great place to stay. There's cafes super close, two combini about a 15 minute walk away, and a place to the left of the 7-11 had such good food at fair prices.
