Fresh and light in taste. Excellent service.

Food is good, and place is warm!

The food is really good!

Took us a while to get a table at this casual dining restaurant on a Saturday evening. Food was decent, good range of options for fussy eaters with even hot pot on the menu for 1 person. Definitely recommended for families and friends who just want a simple, hearty meal without spending too much in this area.

i'd say this place was great.i had a hambgu and a ceaser salad, and my wife had a seiromushi. we both enjoyed our meal.there was small pathway to take a short walk outside of the restaurant, and pretty long line was there at 1pm on Thursday. waiting line has a waitong ticket system, so it works pretty fairly.people were kind.

Bit pricey but the food is so good.

Nice place in the area

Very honest food

We waited 1 hour for a table. Food is ok and price is reasonable but I don't think it's worth the wait

Nice food and reasonably priced

The environment was good. Food was so so and over-priced. Service was not consistent. A waiter and another waitress were showing the worst example of service. When they changed shift and i could tell the difference when the other girls took over

waiter English is good.

The restaurant provides about 10 different nice Japanese lunch sets with reasonable prices. Services are quite good. Nevertheless, there is always crowded.

Tasty, would recommend

Quite expensive and not much variety to choose from. And very long queue there. Prefer food court near the oulet side, more seats and price more reasonable .

Nice restaurant, the hotpot with soba noodles was delicious. In the park across the street candles were illuminating the whole area at night.

Friendly locally canteen. Nice set of meal.

Next to Hoshino Onsen. Cozy dining environment. Great taste and attentive staffs. Food is at the pricey side as there were not many dine-in options at that area. Expect long queue during lunch and dinner hour. Do get a waiting number at the kiosk upon arrival.

Close walk from the Tombo Onsen, this was worth the wait (roughly 20 minutes). I came by myself with a big backpack, and they made sure I had lots of space. Meaning, they put one chair on either side of me for my luggage - customers did not share the space. I had the vegetable & mushroom cheese bake. Delicious.

Awesome soba! Beautiful area!

Although it takes us forty mins to wait for a table, meals are delicious and not let me down. Recommend it!

Reasonable price, various menus.

Very good restaurent, good food

I think this is good place for lunch.

Great service. Lots of Chinese tourists so special instructions for the hot pot came only in Chinese but the staff tried his best in translating. A variety of food available and decently priced albeit still slightly pricey. Nice ambiance.

Value for money restaurant around this area. Food is awesome and tasty. I got the Hamburg set. Cheesy and flavourful coupled with salad, miso soup and rice. The only drawback is the long waiting time. I waited about 40min.

A nice place and nice food 🥘

Stylish and delicious food

Really tasty tonkatsu here

Good food with a wide variety to choose from. Nice environment, as if eating inside the forest.

Very nice restaurant at the Hoshinoya Karuizawa resort. It’s actually right next to their hot spring so is very popular. The restaurant is considerate enough to set up a comfy waiting area. The surrounding is very pretty - be surrounded by many trees and fresh air is just fantastic! The food they serve is also great - surprising inexpensive given its run by a premium resort. Very worthy of visiting and would love to come back again for sure!

Our preferred lunch venue at Karuizawa Hoshino Area. Good food with prompt service and decent value. For this cool weather, the Tohji Soba Hot Pot should be great. No reservation for this restaurant, so when arrived, print a queue-no. If queue is long, could have a coffee at their cafe, Cafe Hungry Spot or take a quick stroll around Tombo-no-yu.After meal, a short walk back to Hoshinoya Karuizawa.

It’s a very beautiful place, can enjoy the dishes there, ride the bike to there, also can enjoy the scenery.The service is good, also the food also taste good.

Love the latte and steamed pudding

Meal was great especially soba noodle and Shinshu chicken rice.

Excellent food with reasonable price. Nice staff & atmosphere. Definitely will come again & recommend to friends.

Quality food with fair price

Have a break here, very nice beer.Also, meal is good, price is reasonable.

Great interesting food. Though expect a long queue

The restaurant is spacious and clean. Food is fresh and delicious.

Nice place and must go to hot spring nearby

Comfortable to eat there

Nice place, good hot pot with soba, worth to come🍴

After cycling and walking in area all morning we were hungry and this spot had the right food to cover down on our hunger. We ordered the set and left very happy with our choice. The spot has large floor to ceiling windows so it feels like you're eating in the middle of the forest.
