Hotels near Lake Haruna

"Clean, modern, and comfortable. Great location in the older shopping area (Gion) of Karuizawa. Kirt’s of fun shopping like Donguri, Peanuts store, and great dining options. "

"Convenient location! Beds were very comfortable. Awesome that you use plastic covers over the remote control, and cups are individually wrapped. Breakfast was very good! Everyone was kind and helpful."

"R9 The Yard has become my preferred choice for business hotels in Japan, particularly when traveling by car. The included parking and ground-level container rooms make unloading luggage or tech incredibly convenient (there are no stairs or elevators to navigate) The rooms are consistently clean and modern, with everything in good working order. Not aged at all like some other hotels at similar prices. The bathrooms, which are especially important to me, are always spotless. Each guest receives one complimentary meal per night of stay, and the hotel also offers on-site coin laundry facilities. Basic amenities such as soap, toothbrushes, and more are available in the lobby. Check-in is straightforward and efficient, conducted via a multilingual tablet in the lobby, including English. At this location, a staff member at the front desk also spoke some English, which was a helpful touch. There is also a large drugstore next door called スギ薬局 (Sugi Pharmacy), which carries absolutely everything you might need, from toiletries and cosmetics to snacks, ready-made meals, and stationery. This was my second stay at an R9 property, and once again, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Based on my experience so far, R9 The Yard continues to deliver excellent value and comfort."

"Great stay and easy to get to hotel. Room shows wear and tear, but it’s not their fault. Us travelers need to be more aware and take better care of the rooms. "

"We had a quiet and peaceful time"

"It was quiet yet close to shopping and train station. Lovely place. I wish the restaurant would offer more Japanese meal options for lunch and dinner."

"安定のdormy inn品質。 駅から至近で交通の便も良く、しっかり休めました。"

"They have lot of shuttle bus between main building to small wooden house. Waiting time less than 5min. Room is clean and good wifi quality. "

"Our stay was reasonably comfortable, except for a few small factors: 1. It’s a shame that they allow smoking in the rooms because we are non-smokers and smoke particles cannot be completely eradicated from the room even with a room humidifier and spray fragrance. So we could not be as comfortable as we normally would be had it been a non-smoking room. My request to the property is to create more non-smoking rooms to be available or completely eradicate smoking rooms, period! Because smokers can easily go outside the door and have a smoke. There’s no reason to smoke it up where they eat and sleep! 2. The fan in the bathroom is on 24 hours a day. When its the dead of winter and you’re freezing. It’s a very freezing cold shower if you wish to conserve hot water and not let the water running while you soap up. Then you have that fan running blowing cold air into the shower room. My request to the property is to change the fan so it can be operated by a switch. I know they want to cut down on the mold factor but for goodness sakes, part of the housekeeping job is to clean the shower and if they do that after every check out, there won’t be a chance for mold to grow. So no reason to have the fan on 24 hours a day without a switch to turn it off by the guests!! PLEASE DO BETTER! Robert Speaker"
