About 10km north of Karuizawa Station, deep in the forest (there's a free shuttle bus!), this beautifully designed hotel blends gracefully into its surroundings. It's a place of understated luxury, relaxation and tranquillity. This attention to detail and aesthetic sensibility flow through to the cuisine, which is presented so elegantly you'll have to eat very slowly indeed.
