Kanra Hotels

"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. "

"Great hotel with attentive staff who always greet you with a smile. Hotel located in a good location close to the local attractions. "

"Great Ryokan, difficult to reach area, recommend more than one night stay just to unwind and truly appreciate the area, staff was friendly with limited English"

"2nd time in this hotel, was definitely less good than the first time, dinner was amazing but breakfast had a lot of issues, my pregnant wife had bottle cap in her salad and our coffee we ordered for breakfast never came, expect more from an hotel at this price point, we will probably not come again "

"Great friendly place "

"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."

"What a beautiful hotel with nice location near the forests! Amazing staff which are always so friendly and helpful! While the Onsen are a great endind for each day! "

"Our stay at Toyoko Inn Takasaki Station Nishi 2 was average, but there were a few disappointing aspects. Although we had clearly mentioned at the time of booking that we require a vegan breakfast, the hotel was unable to accommodate this request. It would have been helpful if this had been communicated in advance, as dietary requirements are important for many travelers. Additionally, the room was not cleaned to the standard we expected. While it was not extremely dirty, it did not feel properly maintained or thoroughly cleaned. Communication was also a challenge, as there was a lack of English proficiency among the staff. This made it difficult to discuss our concerns and clarify basic requests. On the positive side, the location near Takasaki Station is convenient. However, improvements in cleanliness, dietary accommodation, and English communication would significantly enhance the guest experience."
