The host was friendly and welcoming. We went early to drop off our baggage and even though it wasn't opened yet, he came out to entertain us and kept it for us. When we returned to check in, he was very warm and offered us a hot welcome drink, which was something we needed in the cold weather. He was very clear with his explanation, and we felt happy to hang out at the lounge area for drinks after we settled in. Bed was a little hard, but besides that, everything else was provided for and good.

Awesome host

The guesthouse is very beautiful and comfortable, feel like home. The host is very friendly, and he treat me an apple tea when I arrived. Breakfast is delicious. The biggest surprise for me is that it provide hot spring experience.

Comfortable and warm house to stay

The host is very kind and passionate. The house is warm and it has hot bath! You can rent a bicycle here and the bicycle is pretty good and very new. The room is cozy and clean. Rhe breakfast also amazing. What a wonderful stay.

Recommend stay

I had a fantastic time at Bellscabin, and am happy that I could stay for two nights because one wouldn't have been enough! The owners are friendly and warm, willing to help and answer any questions they can. The setting is incredibly beautiful and if you're an avid walker or hiker it's an ideal base with plenty of interesting things to check out in the immediate vicinity, and if you're willing to put in a 45 minute walk uphill, you can get to Karuizawa town easily enough.
I visited Bellscabin during winter and the warm, cosy atmosphere was truly a blessing to come home to. The dorms are small and comfortable and the amenities offer everything you need from a backpackers. They make a solid BLT and a delicious cup of coffee so you can start your day on a good foot. I will definitely be back, hopefully in the Spring this time!

A Comfortable and Friendly Home

Very beautiful and warmful wooden house. I very like the design of interior. Just feel like home. Although the backpack room I lived in was small, everything was complete and the quilts were very warm. The living room on the first floor will be a great place to stay and rest.

warm house with passionate host  in Karuizawa.

After leaving Tokyo we spent a night in Karuizawa at Bellscabin and the contrast couldn't have been greater. It is set amongst woodland in a semi rural area about 10 minutes from the Shinkansen station. It is run by a husband and wife couple who really made you feel at home. The facilities are relatively basic but it is good value for money.
We will stay there again if we manage to get back to Japan

Home away from home

A little bit disappointed when compare with the reviews while we stay for 1 night.  Need to share their guesthouse in the facebook before you use their in-house wifi service.  No kitchen for cooking but we have bought something in the supermarket and ask the owner to cook for us in their kitchen and pay for them but they refuse.  Only have microwave and the water boiler doesn’t work.

Our double room have a queen size bed and a sofa which is quite large and specious.  Because it is a wooden cottage, when people walking outside your room, noise come from while sleeping.  A little bit dirty in the bathroom.  No shops & restaurants nearby and far away from the station.  Suitable for driving only.

Fair and Basic Only

My friend and I stayed at Bells Cabin in 1994 to stay overnight while we were skiing and to attend a friend's wedding. We remember this place very fondly. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. I remember the staff being very accommodative, especially for we "gaijin". We were so happy with our stay, we ended up going again and I left my George Michaels music video tape as a present!

Stayed here in 1994 - Remember it fondly

I agree with the other good reviews. The property is nice. The breakfast was nice and reasonably priced. Not too far from the train station. I mentioned to the owner that I wanted to visit the nearby volcanic park and the cheerful owner pointed out exactly which buses I needed to take so I had no issues getting there. Overall I was happy with the experience.
