Le Marais Sale  

In the leafy resort town of Karuizawa, tucked into pure nature and an easy walk to the center. LE MARAIS SALE is a chambre d'hotes–style guesthouse within a 10-minute stroll of the Kouko Fukazawa Nonohana Flower Museum and Karuizawa Taliesin, and about 0.7 km from the Hiroshi Senju Museum. Mount Asama sits roughly 31.5 km away.

Built on the Chambre d'Hotes idea, the property delivers a small-scale, communal vibe surrounded by nature. There are 10 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms (shower/tub combos and bidets), plus slippers and complimentary toiletries. Limited front-desk hours keep the feel relaxed and unhurried.

Unwind at the bar/lounge or step out onto the terrace to take in the fresh-air views. Rent a bicycle to explore nearby trails and streets. Free on-site self-parking is available and complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking make short work of remote tasks and mobile meetings.

Wrap up the day in the bar/lounge or start with an English breakfast served daily from 7:30–9:30 for a fee.
