In close proximity to the Karuizawa Resort is Mount Asama, the most active volcano on Honshu, the main island of Japan. This impressive volcano stands 2,568 m (8,425 ft) above sea level and continues to erupt on a relatively frequent basis (the last significant eruption occurring in 2009).
Resort accommodations are located onsite in the 87-room Karuizawa Hotel. Guests can relax at the hotel, which provides a match for one of the finest highland resorts in the country.
