The 10 Best Boutique Hotels in Gunma (2026)

Guest Review: The room design is cozy, modern and functional for using. Hotel atmosphere is very nice. Helpful staffs. Breakfast is delicious and healthy. Hotel located in quiet area then we have a good sleep all night long. 10mins walk from Karuizawa station. Recommended.

Guest Review: This little Ryokan-style hotel was so nice that I missed it very much after leaving Kusatsu Onsen. I have stayed in a total of 14-16 hotels all over Japan by now (over the years) and this is easily one of the best (if not the very best). I appreciated the vegetarian breakfast very much: it was very elegant as well as nutritious. They also checked the ingredients with me. The wide Tatami mat area exceeded expectations: I could relax with panoramic views of the snow capped mountains while dining or just working (digital nomad-ing was easy with fast wifi). There were many drawers and cupboards: storage space was never an issue. The Toto Smart toilet was more advanced than those variants in 5-Star hotels. The hotel is proximate to all the important places and just opposite the bus stand: I only just had to cross the road with my luggage. I also discovered multiple short routes to Yubatake every single day (I stayed for three days). The same family/organisation also operates the Yume Hana restaurant next door and guests of Oyado Yukizumi receive a complimentary beverage service while dining in Yume Hana. The Yukata they provide is very nice and I wore the same to the main Onsens in the area. The staff are very caring and kind hearted, for example, when I was leaving, seeing that it was raining, they asked me to take their umbrella with me (I declined the same). Later, I missed the level of kindness and attention to each individual guest I received while staying here - that is something you will not get from large branded hotels. Thank you, Oyado Yukizumi, I was very touched.

Guest Review: We stayed for 2 nights with our 2 toddlers, the location was very convenient with easy access to hotel restaurants, the onsen and of course the snowpark (our room looked right into the snow play area too). The staff were helpful arranging our taxi hires and we had good food at the hotel restaurants. It's not a luxury hotel, but the facilities are clean, conveniently located next to Princes Outlets (this came in handy when we had a day of rain and needed to find something to do). The onsen is very nice, I took my daughter there and we had a fun experience. Worth visiting when you're staying at the hotel.

Guest Review: Facilities, great breakfast and dinner facilities. Good food- great choice of options, freshly cooked. Public bath facilities with good quality products leaving guests with spa like feeling.
