Make the Most of Your Karuizawa Stay

Cultural heritage and natural beauty

Karuizawa emerged as Japan's premier mountain resort after a Canadian missionary introduced it to Tokyo's elite in the 1880s. This alpine town in Nagano Prefecture remains a sophisticated retreat where the Imperial Family and business leaders escape summer heat in private forest villas. Historic Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza Street preserves its post-town character with upscale bakeries and boutiques, while architectural landmarks like the Stone Church and St. Paul's Catholic Church showcase unique Western influence. The Mampei Hotel, where John Lennon spent summers with Yoko Ono, continues serving its famous Royal Milk Tea.

The Hoshino Resorts area represents contemporary Japanese hospitality at its finest, with Harunire Terrace's elevated dining and serene Tombo-no-Yu onsen set among towering trees. Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza offers 240 luxury outlets in a resort setting. The surrounding landscape invites exploration, from mirror-like reflections at Kumoba Pond to dramatic volcanic formations at Onioshidashi Park. Cyclists appreciate flat terrain and dedicated paths, while day trips to Kusatsu Onsen's legendary hot springs lie just 80 minutes away.

Seamless access from Tokyo

The Hokuriku Shinkansen reaches Karuizawa from Tokyo Station in 65 minutes, making this ideal for weekend escapes and extended stays.
