My stay at Le Grand Karuizawa Hotel And Resort had its highlights, particularly the spacious and immaculate room which made for a comfortable retreat. The location was beautifully picturesque and remote, providing a relaxing atmosphere, though it's a bit far from town and transportation can be tricky. Breakfast was delicious, but I found the dining options somewhat lacking in variety, especially given the premium experience advertised. 🏨🌄
