Welcome to Karuizawa! A quiet town in the Nagano prefecture with its pleasant atmosphere and local ambience that offers plenty of beautiful and scenic nature spots, along with many amazing restaurants and delicious foods to enjoy. Best of all, it’s just over an hour outside of Tokyo on the Hokuriku Shinkansen making it an ideal spot to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
After an exciting adventure and relaxing getaway in Karuizawa, here are the places I recommend visiting in this travel guide. #Karuizawa #Nagano #TravelJapan

What were your favorite spots in Karuizawa⛪🌲? And would you consider traveling to this place😄?

That circular waterfall towards the end, was definitely my favourite!

Bekery & Restaurant Sawamura Kyukaruizawa is really lovely. We went because we arrived very early and needed breakfast.

Despite it raining in the video, I found it to be quite relaxing to see no people outside and just let nature take care of herself. The waterfall is by far my favourite part of the video. Just something so mesmerizing about waterfalls and water features. Pair that with beautiful scenery and nature's awesome work, it's a great combo for removing yourself from the daily busy life of the everyday. Although I don't care much for the shopping or more traditionally hot spots as much as the nature spots, I do enjoy a good meal and appreciate good food. It looks like you were treated very well during your stay. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along for the fantastic experience!

Excellent video! This video captured the essence of Karuizawa and it’s beautiful nature. So hard to find videos likes yours as most KZfaqrs just blah blah and show very little content, and instead keep their faces in the frame all time. Just want to tell them please show me the place and not yourself. Thank you again for your lovely video!!!

This is an interesting take on Karuizawa. I was just given a project with Rakuten Travel x Karuizawa Tourism Bureau to create one of their official guides to this area and came across your video by a quick search result. I love drawing inspiration from talented content creators like yourself to get a sense of what others have done and storyboard this concept before embarking on the shoot scheduled for June. Keep doing you! I hope you remain safe during this tough time!

Awesome video! Blending nature and man-made seems to be a big theme in Karuizawa. Too bad they couldn't get the rain to stop in preparation for the boss visiting though. The stone church has got to be my favorite part. The architecture is totally unique.

Thank you for the kind words! We took the bus to Kyu-Karuizawa and Harunire Terrace. The other spots like the pond and the Hoshino area we walked to as they were somewhat close to the main spots. For the waterfall, the hotel picked us up and took us there on the way. I hope this helps, thanks for the support!

Would love to absorb the greenery, do the hot spring, and visit a bunch of bakeries and coffee shops :) and save the last full day for shopping lol Can you list the different names of bakeries, etc in your description for easy reference?

They've moved the toll booth on the road up to the Shiraito Falls closer to Ginza Street. Good short cut to miss the congestion if you're heading north. Downside is they charge you 500 yen. Jack, the Japan Alps 40 years and counting

I tried using this as itinerary but it didn’t work. From Kogen church you cannot walk to the Shiraito falls. Google maps shows this as a 2h plus walk and I couldn’t find any buses that would take me there. So we only used the first part of the itinerary

Hi Ernest, nice video. Do you think 4~5 days in Karuizawa is too long? Should I stay in Tokyo and go to K as a side trip? Looking for a city where I can just bum around this summer.

@ernestkeung Жыл бұрын

Annyeong, 4-5 days in Karuizawa might be a bit long if you aren't doing a cottage stay or nature excursion. I think 2 days is enough for the places in this video, the 2nd day is mostly if you want more time for shopping in the outlet. I hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Karuizawa is good throughout the year as you can experience the different seasons. I think Apr-May and Sept-Nov is ideal and most enjoyable. It's 1+ hour by bullet train from Tokyo.
