Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel

Luxury and sophistication for holidaymakers

Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel, which is to be opened in the summer of 2019 in Japan, is a dream resort for luxury holidaymakers. The concept of the resort is completely new: customers who have bought a membership to the hotel have all the services, from downhill skiing to beauty salons, all inclusive.

Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel offers a possibility for different kinds of outdoor activities, such as downhill skiing and hiking, relaxation in hot baths with a panoramic view of the magnificent Asama volcano or in the beauty salon. In the fine dining restaurants skilled chefs produce culinary treats.

Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel is targeted to high-end customers who like to enjoy high quality and healthy living. Being made of natural wood the hotel offers just that. Scientists have discovered that buildings with wooden structures lower blood pressure and heart rate. Solid wood also has excellent acoustic properties, absorbing sounds and creating a calming and cosy atmosphere.

Honka Fusion Log ensures bolder and more diverse structures than the traditional round log, because it does not settle with time. This allows Karuizawa Asama Prince Hotel its distinctive look. The interiors of the modern and elegant hotel have been designed accordingly. The lighting has been chosen to complement the design of the building. The large window walls let natural light flood in. The furniture and decorative materials reflect natural, healthy living. In the lobby there is a quaint fireplace, decorated with a brick design, which creates a warm, cosy place to relax.

The logs for the hotel which consists of a main building and 15 log villas have been delivered all the way from Finnish pine forests and have been carefully selected and crafted specially for this building project.
