The sprawling resort is the epitome of a luxury plateau resort

Located 1000 metres above sea level, the Prince Grand Resort Karuizawa is one of the best and most accessible resorts, just an hour's train ride away from Tokyo. There are five hotels within the resort grounds, namely Karuizawa Prince Hotel West, The Prince Villa Karuizawa, The Prince Karuizawa, Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel, and Karuizawa Prince Hotel East (KPHE).
Boasting a main building as well as cottage accommodations, the 44-year-old KPHE was recently relaunched in July this year, which comes with its new "Neo Forest" architectural concept for guests to relax in a forest-like sanctuary. The addition has led to the hotel's induction into the affiliation of “Small Luxury Hotels of the World”, which is exclusively awarded to just 12 hotels in Japan.

What’s an incredible holiday without incredible food?
Both the hotel’s restaurants All Day Dining Karuizawa Grill and Sukiyaki Shabu-Shabu Teppanyaki Breeze have private rooms for your dining pleasure, and all dishes are whipped up with ingredients sourced from the Shinano Province (Shinshū), now known as Nagano Prefecture.
At All Day Dining Karuizawa Grill, guests can enjoy a delightful grill menu with a view of an open kitchen. Over at Sukiyaki Shabu-Shabu Teppanyaki Breeze, tuck into authentic Japanese cuisine such as the Shinshū premium Wagyu and a wide variety of fresh seafood.
