One can only guess whether that be the Hotel itself or the natural forest outside, although I&#8217;m sure a combination of both was the aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"30394\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185702\/IMG_3030-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The elegant hall at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel East\" class=\"wp-image-30394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185702\/IMG_3030-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185702\/IMG_3030-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185702\/IMG_3030.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"951\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"30412\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185250\/IMG_9265.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185250\/IMG_9265.jpg 951w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185250\/IMG_9265-371x500.jpg 371w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185250\/IMG_9265-761x1024.jpg 761w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 951px) 100vw, 951px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"30393\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185716\/IMG_3029.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185716\/IMG_3029.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185716\/IMG_3029-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185716\/IMG_3029-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">The hotel is designed with the theme of &#8220;New Forest&#8221; and the idea that you can find your life&#8217;s true story within the forest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rooms\">What are the Rooms of the Karuizawa Prince Hotel East like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Karuizawa Prince Hotel East offers guests several different types of rooms and cottages on the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cottages\">Private Cottages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cottages come in several varieties, and most allow a four-person capacity.

Lamps shaped like gnome hats adorn the fixtures, and cookie cutter tree patterned carpets cover the floors. By far, my favorite piece of art inside the rooms was the metal butterflies resting on the walls. The fabrics in the rooms\u00a0were designed by <strong>a famous textile artist, Akira Minagawa<\/strong>. And the outcome of these two creative minds is <strong>a\u00a0playful combination of fantasy and nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"619\" data-id=\"30415\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185205\/IMG_9273.jpg\" alt=\"A bed at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel East\" class=\"wp-image-30415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185205\/IMG_9273.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185205\/IMG_9273-500x242.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185205\/IMG_9273-1024x496.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"504\" data-id=\"30414\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185219\/IMG_9272.jpg\" alt=\"Decorations at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel East\" class=\"wp-image-30414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185219\/IMG_9272.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185219\/IMG_9272-500x197.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185219\/IMG_9272-1024x404.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"30392\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185730\/IMG_2957.jpg\" alt=\"Two teru teru bouzu dolls at the reception of the hotel\" class=\"wp-image-30392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185730\/IMG_2957.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185730\/IMG_2957-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/25185730\/IMG_2957-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eating\">Where to Eat at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel East<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Karuizawa Prince Hotel East offers guests the choice of <strong>three separate dining areas<\/strong>, as well as <strong>a lounge<\/strong>.
