FUFU Karuizawa, Wind in the Sunshine

The spring in every suite is Tateshina Onsen, not a Karuizawa one.

FUFU Karuizawa, Wind in the Sunshine is in Nagakura, Karuizawa, about 10 minutes by taxi from Karuizawa Station. All guest room baths use natural hot spring water; there are no communal baths, but YOUCA SPA has private herb baths and saunas. Dinner at the restaurant YOUGA is a full course of Japanese seasonal foods, served at counter seats, private rooms or regular tables, and breakfast is Japanese-style with ingredients from the Shinshu region; there is no in-room dining. Children of all ages are welcome (the spa is not open to guests under 16), and some rooms take up to 3 guests.
