Tranquil Onsen Experience

The onsen at Le Grand Kyu Karuizawa was a delight. I visited the spa on the top floor and had the indoor and outdoor baths all to myself, which was such a treat after a long day exploring. It featured separate sections for men and women, with well-maintained facilities. The tranquility made it the perfect place to unwind. It was a highlight of our stay!

The large double room featured two queen-sized beds, a sitting area, and a modern setup. The bathtub in the room was a lovely addition, providing an extra touch of luxury. I had such a comfortable sleep here.
