Teleworking Amidst the Verdant Greenery of the Hoshino Area, Feeling the River Breeze with Birdsong as Your BGM
Karuizawa is famous as a summer resort. In recent years, however, it has also gained popularity as a place to relocate, attracting significant attention in 2020 as a desired destination for those moving due to the pandemic. With the spread of COVID-19, there has also been an increase in stays for "workation," enjoying work and vacation in Karuizawa.
This plan involves staying at the "Hoshino Area" during the beautiful fresh green season, teleworking, and participating in an approximately 90-minute tour with staff from "Karuizawa Besso Navi" who have actually relocated to Karuizawa. The tour will cover recommended land and housing tailored to the participants' lifestyles, as well as daily life attractions and recommended spots known only to locals.
BEB5 Karuizawa, where guests will stay, is a hotel where you can relax without worrying about time, centered around the "TAMARIBA" public space available 24 hours a day. TAMARIBA features a cafe and library arranged around a courtyard with a wood deck, offering tables with power outlets and free Wi-Fi.
When you want to take a break, order hearty quiches, apple pies, and more at the cafe. As a plan benefit, coffee is free no matter how many cups you drink.
Other ideal spots for teleworking include the cafe terrace at "Harunire Terrace" and "Icaru Cafe," located adjacent to the "Pikchio Wild Bird Forest Visitor Center." Working under the dappled sunlight, feeling the river breeze, and with the chirping of wild birds as your background music, your work is sure to progress smoothly.
When you want to switch gears from focused telework or to leisurely contemplate moving to Karuizawa, refresh yourself with a dip in the hot springs at "Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu," a natural hot spring bath in the Hoshino Area. It features a deep bathtub that reaches your shoulders and an open-air bath with a sense of freedom. As a plan benefit, you can enter as many times as you like per day.
For dining, we recommend "Sonmin Shokudo," a casual Japanese restaurant adjacent to Tombo no Yu, as well as the Harunire Terrace, which offers a variety of restaurants including soba, Italian, and Chinese cuisine.
