Experience the New Evening Lounge at THE HIRAMATSU Karuizawa Miyota
This summer, a transformation awaits visitors at "THE HIRAMATSU Karuizawa Miyota." Starting June 14, 2025, the lobby lounge will reveal its new identity as the Pomerania Lounge, providing guests a unique evening experience. Here, one can delight in a wide selection of drinks and immerse in the enchanting ambiance created by the world-renowned Steinway & Sons SPIRIO piano.
Nestled on the southern slopes of the picturesque Asama Mountain, "THE HIRAMATSU Karuizawa Miyota" perfectly combines luxury and nature, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a refreshing retreat. The lobby lounge, primarily used during check-in and check-out, offers a cozy environment complete with a fireplace and a wide terrace. As guests relax, they can enjoy breathtaking views of lush green landscapes and the distant peaks of the Yatsugatake mountain range.
As night falls, the lounge evolves, inviting guests to savor the lingering joys of their day. The Pomerania Lounge promises a delightful blend of relaxation and exquisite local drinks, with a focus on Shinshu's finest selections. Relax by the fire, sipping on a glass of "WHISKY ONE 1 YEAR" from the northern Karuizawa Distillery or the signature "NOZAWA GIN" from Nozawa Onsen Distillery. The menu also highlights the rich flavors of "Pommeau De Normandie," an alcoholic beverage that complements the beautiful apple-themed art by Kyōji Takubo adorning the lounge walls.
For those seeking non-alcoholic options, guests can indulge in refreshing drinks like "NEMA," a non-alcoholic gin made from pesticide-free botanicals and Yatsugatake spring water, or savor the exquisite "Tomatodo," a premium tomato juice made from fully ripened tomatoes cultivated in Saku Highland. Additionally, the luxurious "RTRoom" organic rooibos tea, originating from Karuizawa, adds a refined touch to the meticulously crafted menu.
A Grand Musical Experience Awaits
Adding to the evening's allure is the collaboration with Steinway Japan, featuring the magnificent Steinway & Sons SPIRIO piano, renowned for its high-resolution automatic performances. From June 14 to July 7, guests can enjoy live performances recreated with exceptional accuracy, echoing the works of legendary artists like Bill Evans and Rachmaninoff. This remarkable piano promises an auditory journey that feels as if the music is being performed live just for you.
The white SPIRIO piano will take center stage in the lobby lounge, and for those interested, interactive experiences are available, inviting guests to play the instrument themselves. Moreover, on the evenings of June 21, two sessions of "SPIRIO Music Time" will be held, led by Izumi Hirose, the manager of Steinway & Sons Tokyo and Osaka, offering a medley of musical genres sure to delight.
As the Pomerania Lounge opens, the fireplace will provide a warm glow, enriching the atmosphere even during the summer nights.
