Old Karuizawa Pension Uehara

Uehara Pension is not far away from Karuizawa JR Station, just 15 minutes walk, my wife and I was the first time visiting Karuizawa. Just get out from the north exit and walk straight ahead from the main street and you can easily find Uehara Pension on your left hand side. Like other ryokan in Japan, Uehara Pension is simple, clean and with all quiet environment. We booked a room with private bath and toilet, spacious and roomy, but all that simply, just bed, lights and power supply and wifi too, but its all enough for us though. The food is the main theme for Uehara Pension, the owner/chef prepared hearty dinner and breakfast, I would say if you prepare to stay in Uehara Pension, you have to take the 1 stay and 2 meals package, instead of room only. Owner Kiyotaka Takeuchi and his wife were very kind and friendly, also attentive to every your need, even though we did not attend to the hair dryer at the end of the corridor, instead we asked for another one, she was so kind to offer us another one.
