The Four Seasons at a Karuizawa Resort
The Karuizawa Prince Hotel West was remodeled in order to provide it with even greater value. This restaurant was one element of the project, and with groups including families in mind, a large space capable of seating around 300 guests was planned. Our concept was one that would allow visitors to experience the richness of Karuizawa’s environment, culture, and history by using a concept of four seasons at a resort in the region. We designed each area of the space to have a theme: spring, summer, and autumn-winter, and gave each a distinct color scheme to reflect changes in season. We used materials reminiscent of the era when Karuizawa was originally developed, employing brick, Shinshu lumber, glass, and more. Light spills in gently from large windows, allowing the color of the sky into the room and letting guests experience comfort while being at one with nature in this resort restaurant.
