Trip Moments Recommendations
Hoshinoya Karuizawa/Nagano Prefecture
Hoshinoya Karuizawa is always mentioned as one of the must-stay hot spring inns. 🕊️
With a site area of approximately 13,000 tsubo, it feels more like a village than a hotel, surrounded by rich nature. 🌿
A walk around the entire area takes about 15 minutes. 🚶
The river flowing through the center has spots that look like floating islands, where you can see ducks swimming gracefully. 🤍
In early July, when I stayed, I also saw some baby ducks, which was very soothing. 🥰

📍Hoshinoya Karuizawa
My favorite place at Hoshinoya Karuizawa is the library lounge 📚
In a space with a dimly lit adult atmosphere, there are books, magazines, newspapers, etc., so you can enjoy them freely 👀
During the day, natural light pours in and it's really nice 🕊️
The modern Asian interior, with a dark brown base and purple and yellow accents, is a great place to relax 🤍
Meeting a new book is an irreplaceable time ❕
It was an exciting time during my stay, as I don't have time to read books at my leisure 😚💰

I stayed at Hoshinoya Karuizawa🕊️
We arrived a bit earlier than the 3 PM check-in time, but the high ceilings and the beautiful lobby bathed in dappled sunlight immediately captivated us🥹🫶🏼
As part of the 'Refreshing Hospitality,' we were treated to a free flow of champagne🥂✨
The Library Lounge, with its comfortable atmosphere and views of lush greenery, was also very pleasant🤍
Soft drinks and snacks are available self-service at all times🍀

Hoshinoya Karuizawa.
I stayed at Hoshinoya Karuizawa and participated in the SDGs tour 'Megumi Meguru Hoshino' the next morning☺️
We took a leisurely walk around the spacious facility while receiving guidance and explanations from the staff🚶
I was surprised to hear that there is a hydroelectric power plant within the facility, and about 70% of the electricity is generated by the river that flows through the center🫢💡
I felt once again that this is a hotel that coexists with nature😌🍀

Hoshinoya Karuizawa
Hoshinoya Karuizawa offers three types of rooms: 'Mizunami Rooms' facing the river, 'Yamaroji Rooms' with views of the mountain greenery, and 'Niwaroji Rooms,' each with a unique charm. 🌳🚲🗞️
This time, I stayed in a 'Mizunami Room.' 🪸
The large terrace provided a pleasant view of the river flowing through the center of the village, and the bedroom and living area were separated, making it spacious and comfortable. 😆🌿

I stayed at Hoshinoya Karuizawa, a resort managed by Hoshino Resorts✨
The room and terrace were so lovely that we decided to have a Japanese breakfast with in-room dining the next morning🥢
We enjoyed warm rice, miso soup, rolled omelet, grilled fish, and several side dishes made with seasonal ingredients🤍
It was an exquisite breakfast, accompanied by the sound of the flowing river☺️

Hoshinoya Okinawa/Okinawa
Enjoying Hoshinoya Okinawa 🤍
Built facing the western sea, this hotel boasts an incredibly beautiful sunset! 🌅
The gradual change of the sky's color is truly magnificent 🥺🫶, and I savored the happiness of being here right now 🤍
The guest rooms also face the sea, so I could enjoy the view of the sky and sea turning orange from my room 😊🍊
Whether at the pool or in your room, be sure to enjoy the sunset 🌅

Hoshinoya Okinawa/Okinawa
The facility stretches along a coastline of 1km, and all of the 100 rooms are oceanfront. Moreover, the suites come with a bedroom and living space✨
I stayed in a room called 'Fūshi (Star)' which features a central doma dining area and a sunken kotatsu-style living room🤍
The bedroom wallpaper is decorated with Ryukyu Bingata, and there are cute illustrations of shisa, which are very characteristic of Okinawa🫶

At Hoshino Resorts, you can experience various activities unique to the region. The first thing I tried upon checking in was the 'bukubuku tea,' a traditional Okinawan custom. 🍵
I was surprised by how filling the rice hot water & foam was, but I learned that this practice was historically infused with the wish to heal the fatigue of travelers and to pray for their safety on long journeys. 😌💭
The representative 'Makai' pottery of Yachimun, which you can choose with your favorite patterns, was fun, and the accompanying 'chinsuko' cookies with their subtle sweetness were very delicious. 😋

[Hoshinoya Karuizawa] A luxury ryokan that costs 200,000 yen per night💕✨
I went to Hoshinoya for the first time to celebrate my birthday😊
Not only was the quality of the room (fresh ginger bath😳), but the quality of the food was also very high.
They use plenty of seasonal ingredients, and you can see it with your eyes, feel it with your nose, and taste it with your tongue.
You can enjoy it in a luxuriously spacious building, and it gives you an elegant moment🌿
The hot spring is also well-equipped. It was very good.
(It was my first time in my life to take a hot spring in such a pitch black space.)
The accommodation fee is high, but it is an inn that you should visit at least once in your life.
The customer service, hospitality, and attention to detail are exactly what "bliss" means😊🌸
