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.

The staff was really nice and kind, they even brought me to a local hotspring by car, otherwise it would have been an hour+ walk up a mountain, they showed me some cultural places around the area. They really invested time and effort into there guests :)

We had such a lovely time at Corner Shop. We stayed in the tatami mat room which was perfect for us, the rooms are so spacious, beautifully laid out and we had a view out onto the mountain. The toilet and shower room were also very clean and spacious. There is also a small kitchen with sink, kettle, fridge and crockery that we could use. The guest house is above a cafe/shop/bar with a really nice atmosphere and the staff were so friendly, kind and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, this was the best place we have stayed in Japan and we will definitely be recommending it to friends! Miyota is a great location in a stunning landscape. It is easily accessible by train from Tokyo and there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance of Corner Shop.

We had a lovely stay at Bells Cabin. The owner couple is really sweet and caring and fetched us from the train station as we were stranded in a mile long taxi queue due to snow and ice disabling the trains and busses no longer running in the late evening. Thank you so much! The breakfast was delicious and a very fair price. The common room were you can hang out and eat had a lit fireplace giving a very warm and cozy atmosphere. It smelled like Christmas morning as a child. We will definitely comeback when we are visiting Karuizawa.

    This place is perfect for a few days getaway in the mountains! Really lovely hosts (Yusuke and his wife) and beautifully done up building. Yusuke gave great itinerary suggestions and safety and transport tips, and hosted an epic bonfire for the guests too. Nice communal feel, well maintained and clean facilities. On-site restaurant as well with delicious food makes it easy to sort out dinner plans! Arigatō gozaimasu!
