About us

Surrounded by clear streams and starry skies,
A forest retreat

A clear stream flowing through lush greenery in Kita-Karuizawa

Nestled quietly in the primeval forest of Kita-Karuizawa, Noël Kitakaruizawa Seiryu #2 offers a tranquil retreat embraced by nature.
A crystal-clear stream flows gently beside the property, and when you look up, a sky full of stars stretches above—
this is a place where both body and mind can truly unwind amidst nature’s untouched beauty and calm.

Sunlight filters softly through the trees into the spacious, open living area,
while the expansive wood deck blurs the line between forest and sky.
Warm your body to the core in the barrel sauna, then refresh in a cold bath infused with whisky barrel water or the nearby stream.
At night, soak in a firewood-heated bath and gaze up at the star-filled sky for deep relaxation.

Reconnect with nature through all five senses and spend a special moment in serene stillness.
Come escape the everyday and enjoy a luxurious holiday at Noël Kitakaruizawa Seiryu #2.

About 30 minutes from Karuizawa Station,
follow a narrow path through the primeval forest of Kita-Karuizawa, and you'll hear the gentle murmur of a stream.
Noël Kitakaruizawa Seiryu #2 stands in a place where the breath of the forest and the presence of flowing water are always near.

The scenery shifts with the seasons—trees changing their colors, dewdrops glistening on wildflowers in the morning,
and a quiet blanket of snow covering the ground in winter.
From the living room window, only the quiet passage of time in the forest can be seen.

Leave behind words and clocks, and spend a peaceful moment in harmony with the nature of Kita-Karuizawa.

Experience

Seiryu

A Private Seat to the Forest and Stream—Just Ten Steps Away

The mossy stream seen over the deck railing

Take about ten steps from the wood deck, and a crystal-clear stream unfolds before your eyes.
Surrounded by lush greenery, the forest reveals a different face with each passing season.
Even in summer, the water remains refreshingly cool at around 15°C, so pure that native fish like yamame and iwana swim freely.

During your stay, take a casual stroll and simply gaze at the flowing water.
Here, even the simplest moments become something truly special.

Sauna

A Unique Sauna Experience—Refreshed by Whisky Barrel Cold Baths and a Mountain Stream

From the sauna, gaze out at the clear stream flowing just beyond.
After warming your body, immerse yourself in a cold bath made from a whisky barrel, then dip your feet into the pristine stream.
You'll feel a deep sense of renewal—“totonou”—brought on by the healing power of nature.

In the wood-fired bath, the gentle scent of burning logs fills the air.
Surrounded by the forest's quiet presence and the sound of water, your mind and body slowly unwind.
This is a sauna experience like no other—one that can only be found in a place embraced by water and greenery.

Coexisting with Nature

As such, insects (such as ants, praying mantises, centipedes, etc.), spiders, and wild animals (such as wild boars, masked palm civets, monkeys, snakes, and geckos) may be present around the property throughout the year.

If you encounter wild animals, please refrain from approaching them or making loud noises that may startle them.
We thoroughly inspect and clean the facility each time, and carry out regular insect control and prevention measures. However, due to the natural surroundings, it is unfortunately not possible to completely prevent the intrusion of insects or wildlife.

We ask for your understanding, as this is part of the experience in such a lush, natural setting.
If you are especially sensitive to insects, we recommend considering other accommodations.
