Nature and music
Guests can explore the nature of Karuizawa at the hotel's patio. Ohga Hall, a music hall, is located beside Yagasaki Lake. The hotel provides natural stones that give water ultra-red rays and negative ions. The water runs through a healing stones filtering system with maifan stones, tourmaline, and germanium. The garden of Tsuruya Ryokan still shows traces of the Edo era. Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort is a 10-minute drive from Tsuruya Ryokan.

“This Ryokan offers a compelling blend of traditional charm and modern comfort, well-suited to exploring Karuizawa and its surroundings. The generously portioned, fairly priced meals stand out, as do the attentive staff, even with language differences, and the inviting onsen. It's a place where heritage meets hospitality, creating a genuinely relaxing and immersive experience.”
