Shibukawa Hotels

"Good breakfast, friendly staff, clean room"

"First, the pictures on expedia or even the hotels website did not do this place justice. This is a gorgeous hotel with lots to do and see. We were checked in by "Lucky" who spoke really great english. He spent about an hour with us checking us in, walking us to our rooms, showing us everything in our rooms and helping with luggage. Both the dinner and breakfast were buffet with lots of options. I think we were the only foreigners there but they did not treat us any different. The shuttle down to the town square is very convenient. We did not use the hot springs but we did use the open air bath in our room which was amazing. The beds were reasonable comfortable. Enjoyed the plethora of amenities and open space in the room. "

"Brand new, beautifully clean, fantastic staff. In a wonderful forest location and one of the best buffet breakfasts we’ve had."

"Everything was perfect. Nothing more you could ask for. "

"Very clean room, beds were hard but overall hotel was great."

"We had a wonderful 2 night stay! A Mountain View room, fantastic friendly and professional staff, great facilities and scrumptious food, especially the dinners. Ikaho is made memorable because of this ryokan! "

"Great hotel and staff. Location was fine. Only reason for the low review is the instructions/policies stated for the guest bath include provisions for small tattoos so long as they are covered by the property-provided cover-up sticker. When we arrived, the policy was 'guests with tattoo's are not permitted'. Not too big of an issue, but my wife, with two small tattoos was excited to try the bath as it was her first time in Japan and was unable to enter. Please ensure posted policies like this are consistent for future guests."

"Great stay! Will recommend Indigo if you have a car In karuizawa. Not sure if plublic bath has authentic mineral bath though. "

"Room space and amenities. Housekeeping was excellent. Very nice bar. Staff were friendly even with limited English. Enjoyed the private bath. Great location near to old Karuizawa street. Quiet luxury to sum up description of this boutique hotel."
