    The place is just off the city area, so very convenient to travel but still get a good quiet nature. The breakfast was amazing and owners were very helpful.

    I normally don’t post reviews but my host Tatsuno-san and his wife were exceptional with their hospitality. When I skipped breakfast to commence a very early morning hike, out of concern, they drove me to pick up some packed food from 7-11, and...

Michio Tatsuno
- It is a barrier-free facility in a flat house. - Wheelchair accessible from the parking lot to each room. - Each room comes with a balcony and a front garden. - Being a small hotel located in the woods, there are few guests, so families can enjoy a villa-like healing space. - A freshly cooked breakfast is served in the hall where the forecourt is surrounded by birds.
- I was born 69 years ago in Karuizawa Sengataki, which was loved as a summer resort. - After retiring from corporate life, I built a new barrier-free flat house. - While I was able to walk independently, I decided to share the living space of the new construction and make a detailed social contribution, received the approval of the accommodation business, and newly opened as a "B&B Hotel HYOCHOAN". - It is a Drifting Bird Shanty if you translate the HYO(漂/drifting) CHO(鳥/bird) AN(庵/shanty). - Drifting birds(漂鳥) are given as a taxonomy of birds. - They live by the warm sea in the cold winter, and on the cool plateau in the hot summer. - People with the same pattern of behavior were called summer vacationers. - It is the HYOCHOAN that is named in the sense of a house where the summer vacationers stop by. - Now, Karuizawa attracts attention as a place where you can enjoy the change of scenery of the four seasons. - We will share the space as a private villa that can be healed by the clear and pure natural environment. - Thank you for your consideration.
- The three hot springs (Hoshino Onsen, Shiogama Onsen, Sengataki Onsen) located in Karuizawa are within walking distance of the B & B Hotel Drift Tosu (all within 850 meters). - The "Stone Church", which is particularly popular as a wedding hall, is 1.2 km away. - "Karuizawa Wild Bird Forest" is located 650 meters on foot. - Lunch and Dinner's restaurants are within 1 km on foot, including Japanese food, Italian cuisine, steaks, Shinshu soba, and so on. - Shiraito Falls is 15 minutes away by car.
