No wonder my friends wanted to go to Tokyo in winter. It's so beautiful here!

From Tokyo, you can take the Shinkansen for an hour to Karuizawa, where you will feel like you are in the embrace of a forest. 🌲 There are cherry blossoms in spring, coolness in summer, colorful scenery in autumn, and romantic snow in winter. ❄️ I was lucky to experience its winter charm this time, and it was so fascinating!

🌟Hoshino Resorts KAI Karuizawa is located on a plateau in Nagano Prefecture, at an altitude of about 900 to 1,000 meters, and is a resort in Japan. It was a ryokan village in the Edo period and a good place for foreigners to escape the summer heat in the Meiji period. As a hotel of the Hoshino Resorts brand, it is a good choice for a trip to Karuizawa. ✨

🏠 I stayed in a Mizunami Room, which is suitable for 2 to 3 people. There is a water terrace outside the room and a private bath inside. You can feel the breath of nature in the details here, with the sound of flowing water outside the window and the snowy scenery in the distance. 🌨️

As for the hot spring, Hoshino Onsen has a long history. It is a natural hot spring with delicate and warm water quality, which is moisturizing after soaking. 💧 It is a few minutes' walk to the public bath, which is a meditation hot spring designed by guests.

🍽️ The hotel's dining is also a highlight! The in-house restaurant offers seasonal kaiseki or shabu-shabu dinners. You can order breakfast, whether Japanese or Western, to your room! There are also snacks at 5 pm, with pumpkin soup, sitting by the river, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature. 🌿

🏞️ In winter, there are also ski resorts and Christmas lights. 🎄 There are many fun activities around the hotel, such as bird watching in the mountains and forests, yoga stretching, etc. It is a great place. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus from Karuizawa Station, which is convenient for travel. 🚗

In general, the feeling of returning to the room through the snowy night after soaking in the hot spring is unforgettable. ❄️ When you wake up, you feel like you are in a different world, immersed in the embrace of nature. 🌸
