Tsumagoi Prince Hotel  

In the highland town of Tsumagoi, a short drive from Kusatsu's famed onsen area and Sainokawara Park. About 7.5 mi (12 km) from Yubatake and roughly 9 mi (14.5 km) from Karuizawa Toy Kingdom—handy for hot-spring seekers and skiers.

The hotel has 112 guestrooms that blend mountain-resort calm with practical comforts: refrigerators, LCD/Digital (and DVD/satellite) TVs, desks and in-room safes. Bathrooms feature bathtubs or showers, complimentary toiletries and bidets; rooms are air-conditioned and reachable by elevator.

Pamper yourself at the on-site spa with massages and hot-spring recreation, take a dip in the outdoor pool, or hit the ping-pong area while kids enjoy the playrooms. You'll also find gift shops/newsstands, vending machines, a banquet hall and a complimentary area shuttle—plus complimentary wireless internet. Wake up to crisp highland mornings.

24-hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry facilities support your stay, with free self-parking on site. Complimentary wireless internet (high-speed) and a banquet hall make it easy to host small events or stay connected.

Two on-site restaurants serve local flavors and regional dishes. A buffet breakfast is available daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM for a fee—fuel up before hitting the onsen or slopes.
