Historic mountain retreat in Karuizawa with John Lennon's piano

Historic Legacy

Mampei Hotel opened in 1894 as one of Japan's leading classic hotels. John Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed here, and the piano he played remains in the bar. A historical display near the bar showcases original keys, china, and a timeline of the hotel's early days as the "Turtle Hotel."

Guest Rooms

The hotel offers 109 well-appointed rooms. The Atago Wing provides rooms with a private onsen bath. Guest rooms feature cushioned floors, a large white marble bathroom with bathtub and towel warming rack, and views of the forest.

Dining & Bar

The Main Dining Room serves French delicacies in a classical interior with stained-glass windows and garden views. The on-site cafe is known for its apple pie and seasonal chestnut roll cake. The bar offers a cocktail menu featuring a competition-winning tomato cocktail with whiskey, tea, and honeyed ginger syrup, plus classic drinks like the Godfather.
