Except for friends who are traveling by car, the only other option is taxi (less expensive) 3 minutes drive $ 1200yen, to the station should be 3000 yen You can ask someone from the restaurant to call for you So but going back to the hotel after six is ​​boring At this time there is a restaurant and a Cafe open until 9:10 in the old Karuizawa (be sure to check before you go). The Walking Distant at both is only 3 to 5 minutes 🔥Private most heartwarming places🔥 Even if you have enough clothes when you leave the house, Karuizawa, who can get below zero degrees at night, must find a safe haven Dinner itinerary: Soba Umazaki Yoritsuki Ryuri Kawakami An Kawakami An Karuizawa Main Store Kagamizawa Kawakami Main Store This restaurant is bookable 💰Average consumption per person: 4000-5000 yen 📍〒389-0102 6-10 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-cho, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture It's right across from the old Karuizawa bus station 🤣 It's so close that it couldn't be closer Tempura fried shrimp and various vegetables 🍤🥕🧅🍆🎃 served with warm soba noodles (you can choose cold or hot) his food shines ⭐️ Going there the mood is to eat this bowl of soba noodles 🍜 There is a specialty, please be sure to try it! The environment is really comfortable, there is an izakaya feeling, seeing every station many Japanese people are very happy to talk, so it feels very good, the spatial design is very comfortable, looking out the view is the unremoved Christmas decorations. Outside the window is to see fog, but compared to the inside, they are next to the heater, this feeling is very Homie😂 The clerk smiled very brightly, this meal is unquestionably 100/10 The dishes are recommended duck sashimi, frozen tofu three choices, pickled oysters with wine All of them are absolutely praise 😋 After dinner when you still don't want to go home at eight o'clock, and still want to enjoy it, over there is another restaurant across the street But I recommend the coffee shop that is a 2 minute walk away ☕️Sawamura Roastery🧁 Modern style design, walk upstairs to find that many Japanese will hea and work there ~ not many people inside, there are books to read, and there is space outside, there is Karuizawa beer below to buy, so I was working with the artist I bought a try to try it 🥰 handmade monkey beer 🐒 great He is afraid that customers will be cold and still have blankets to borrow 🥹🎀 I myself went to buy coffee again the next day, so the gesture is certainly unbeatable 😁 ⭐️[Recommended Attractions]⭐️ 1. Peter rabbit pop up store Everything inside is very beautiful, the point is that it even the shrine's imperial seal book also has petter rabbit models, limited-time dolls, stickers towels and carpets are all very beautiful (see picture ~) Originally I did not particularly like this one character, but bought burst 🐰 fairy tale style is too attractive😂 2. Denim specialty store today Kazuizawa デニムストリート👖 The whole shop is denim theme, its facade design is very cute, with a big butterfly 🎀 is worth walking around, the style is more towards Muji's silhouette design, hipster minimalist style 3. Visit the Shrine⛩️ Of course you have to go and pay homage when you come here ❤️ Even if you have a good luck, you can pray for it ~ There are many road signs nearby that teach how to get there, within about 10 minutes of walking past Compared to other shrines, this is not very big, so however always go to every place to see! ‼ ️ This shrine if you want to collect the imperial seal, remember to go early, the shop is self-service, I went when there was no one, it also has a box is dedicated to collecting money, only an ordinary suckling pig seal can not buy special models🥺 I hope you are not as unlucky as I am 😹Super big TIPS😹 There is a toilet in the middle of this Ginza Pass that requires 100 yen to go. People have three urgent needs to enjoy it. 100 yen is really cheap, and there is warm water inside 🥹❄️😂 Very clean, no problems, no odors at all, and you can see that someone is taking care of it The specialty shops as well as the food of this place mainly revolve around fresh bean curd, fruit jam, apple pie, fresh duck meat [Must eat corner!]🧇🥧🍯🍜🍘🥨🥖🥐 1. Church street duck ramen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🦆 Salt and soy sauce broth, plus duck is a perfect match😋 (~2000yen bowl) 2. Mille mele 世界一のアップルパ(applepie🍎🥧) I ate the limited-time chestnut ice cream with apple pie 🌰🥧 The ice cream in winter doesn't melt 🤣 Japanese ice cream is delicious and natural enough. In addition to half a piece of apple pie, there is also a piece of apple pie without apples 🥧 Crispy enough to eat, definitely recommend I ate it twice (500-600 yen). 3. King-like Chicken Steak👑 We had worn a lot of clothes on the first night we went for a walk, but it was still very cold🥶 He closed the door at 6:00 so we could buy the last portion, this chicken steak is the savior of hunger and cold 🤣 chicken steak itself it is fried, delicious, its noodles are special, and Hao Da Da D different Consumption: One portion under 500yen Other recommendations: - Jewelers Lots of crafts, and beautiful pieces collected from old years for sale - Japanese specialty toy store There are older Japanese children's toys, where you can walk in and feel the products of different eras - Handmade wooden stool shop After seeing it, I think it is the characteristic of Karuizawa, that there are so many handmade things #Japan Travel #New Year Good Places 2025 #skiing #hot springs #Karuizawa #Japan #Japan must-see photo spots #foodie #snow scene #japan attractions # #soba noodles #Petterrabbit #popupstore #applepie #Jam #winter #winter travel #Register for February Hotel Sleep Tester 2025

Walking through the old Karuizawa Ginza Pass is a must-do, because even locals recommend it! Although this is an attraction, but you will see not only tourists, most of them are Japanese 🫢 There are many small shops here, miffy and snoopy fans note, there is a miffy snoopy store on this street, remember to grab limited items! This street also has a lot of Karuizawa delicacies, and you can sweep the street, and you can enter the restaurant to eat slowly, I tried a pizza wrap called Roabee, super surprising 🫶🏻 Convenient location, remember to come and walk 😆 #globaltravel #Japan #Karuizawa

Nearest train station 🚉: Karuizawa 輕井澤 Address 📍: 541 Karuizawa, Kitasaku District, Nagano 389-0102, Japan Famous for ✨: 🛍️ it’s souvenir shops, restaurants and being a shopping heaven 📷 its old photography studio for people to take pictures in old Japanese style 🍱 the various Japanese and international restaurants and food stalls 🏯 its old Japan flavour Tourist spots nearby 👀: 🛍️ Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza - one of the biggest outlets in Japan that can kill your whole day (15 minute walk) 💦 Kumoba Pond (12 minute walk) #karuizawa #nagano #japan

(Day 2) Kyu-Karuizawa We went to Kumoba Pond in the morning and Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza-dori at noon. Walk in the other direction at the fork in the road before entering Yunchang Pond. The scenery along the way is beautiful, there is snow on the ground, and the white scenery in front of you is beautiful. There are also specialty restaurants along the way, and at first glance there are quite a few Italian restaurants. There are small villas on both sides, which are said to be holiday homes for rich people. My boyfriend said that he rented one for a few days when he traveled here in the spring. It was quiet and comfortable. I must try it next time I come🫶 (Pictures 3-5) It is much more lively when you walk to Ginza Street. The weather is very cold, but there are also many tourists and many Japanese people who come for vacation. The day we visited happened to be Japan's National Foundation Day (?), so many cafes were closed, and there were fewer choices. Many stores also required queues. (Photos 6-8) We drank coffee and ate cream cones at Boulangerie Asanoya on Ginza Street. This coffee shop is very popular and Japanese people kept coming in to buy bread. There are also many popular souvenirs and snacks along the way, such as the "Karuizawa Food Gallery" which sells Sweet Cheese Burger desserts. (Pictures 9-10) We chose a small shop called "Paomu" with a long queue. The poster said that their pudding won the All-Japan "Gift" Grand Prix. We tried Karuizawa Pudding and the seasonal Snow Karuizawa Pudding. The seasonal version is served frozen and has a layer of cream on top, which is smooth and delicious. But I prefer the classic version. The hot pudding makes the egg and milk flavor more prominent😋😋 (Pictures 11-13) We also went to the Miffy store and tried the first-class red bean buns. The taste was just average🙏 but the first-class check-in was first-class. I also bought a box of Miffy-shaped cakes as souvenirs. The store has a wide range of Miffy products, so Miffy fans shouldn’t miss it. (Pictures 14-15) Finally, we visited the church square. This is a semi-outdoor space, which makes it a little warmer outside. If it’s too cold, you can come in and take a rest. There are some shops and check-in spots. Cross the church square and you will arrive at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Karuizawa, which is a small church. (Pictures 16-19) In order to save time to go to the outlet, we did not visit Karuizawa. We will reserve one more day for the tour next time. I will write about shopping at Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza later🫶 Boulangerie Asanoya-Karuizawa Old Road Main Store Address: 738 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-cho, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Paomu Address: 806-1 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-cho, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Miffy Forest Kitchen Address: 559 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-cho, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano (Former Karuizawa Ginza-dori) Karuizawa St. Paul's Church Address: 179 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-cho, Nagano #hkfoodie #travel #resident writer #overseas travel #foodie#good places in the suburbs #Tokyo #Karuizawa #miffy #Japan Travel #Japan #Japanese Attractions

Karuizawa's main street, "Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza Street"! This is a spot where all the charms of Karuizawa come together✨ Lined with stylish restaurants and souvenir shops, it's fun just to walk around! 😆There are also several churches on the street, and it's a place where you can feel the exotic atmosphere. If you go to Karuizawa, you can't miss it!! How to get there: Karuizawa, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture #Nagano #Karuizawa #Kyu-Karuizawa

🗓️Itinerary: 24/3 First day: Go straight to Karuizawa from Narita Airport 25/3 Start playing At that time, the snow on the high mountains of Karuizawa had not melted yet, and you could even step on a little snow on the roadside. We traveled on the old Ginza-dori for half a day and went to Shiraito-no-Taki in the afternoon. Please note that the last bus here leaves very early, and there are no buses going there after 4 o'clock. 26/3 went to Hoshinoyu and the church The Caimin Canteen is very good, and the Stone Church is very impressive 27/3Leave Karuizawa and head to Omiya I visited Karuizawa outlet in the morning. In the afternoon and evening, I went to Omiya Park to see the cherry blossoms. There are many beautiful cherry blossoms, and I took a lot of photos 28／3 Heading to Kawagoe Let's take pictures of cherry blossoms and wear kimonos. However, it takes about ten minutes to walk from Kitain to Taisho Romandori. I suggest you find a kimono rental shop on Taisho Romandori. Recommended by Ogawa Kikugi, delicious, worthy of being a 100-name restaurant 29/3 Took a bus from Omiya to Narita and returned to Hong Kong in the afternoon 💞Recommended reasons: Because the cherry blossoms didn't bloom until April last year, the hotel prices didn't go up in March. It was really cool to see the early cherry blossoms at a relatively affordable price. Kawagoe actually goes well with cherry blossoms, and there aren't as many people as in Tokyo, so I highly recommend it. #日本の精品view#cherry blossom season #karuizawa #Kawagoe sightseeing In addition, this trip was very cost-effective. You should know that we stayed in the Prince Hotel in Karuizawa for three nights, which is 400 square feet, and in the Cangguang Hotel in Omiya for two nights, which is 250 square feet 💰Airplane and hotel expenses: only 5500 (Karuizawa Prince) + 2000 (Omiya Glory) + 4200 (round trip air ticket) = 11700 = 💰Average: 5900 With such accommodation conditions, seeing snow and cherry blossoms, plus shopping and eating, it costs less than 13,000 yuan, and it is a good place to play for six days. Disadvantages: Please pay attention to the last bus time. Most of the last buses in Karuizawa leave at 6 o'clock. #Don't just go to Tokyo, the suburbs are also great

#Tokyo itinerary To explore the attractions in the suburbs of Tokyo, I recommend visiting Karuizawa, and if you will be visiting other suburbs, you can buy the Tokyo Wide Area JR pass! Among the places I visited this time, I highly recommend you to go to the following places🤗 First, near the station you can eat the recently popular Truffle Bakery This time I ate Valentine's Day limited Chocolate ganache, I would recommend the popular No.1 Salt truffle bread 🤣 Then you can go to the nearby Maruyama Coffee Shop, the shop is very retro-decorated ~ It's quite good to have a cup of coffee after eating the bun Kawakami-an This soba is a highly rated restaurant on Google map. I ordered the seasonal oyster tempura せいろ (cold soba noodles) and my friend ordered the duck meat そば (hot soba noodles). The oyster tempura is very big and tastes fresh and sweet! Highly recommended 😄 The old Kazuizawa Ginza Shopping Street There are many handicraft shops in the shopping street. I can take a walk after dinner ⁠ L’ibisco Walking to the end of the street you can go to eat this more famous gelato in Karuizawa, ordered 2 flavors, Milk & Dekopon Orange The taste is quite average, if you are itchy, you can try it 🤣 Cloud Field Pool Winter to Yunchang Pool itself expect a lot of snow hanging on the trees will be very beautiful, but maybe this day to have melted a lot, nothing special😣 But read the guide autumn with red leaves should be beautiful 😌 More people recommend cycling to play Karuizawa, but in winter it is too cold to cycle and blow the wind, my friends and I are walking to all the above places😂

Karuizawa Traveling through the old Karuizawa Ginza-dori, I sincerely recommend Miffy Forest Kitchen, a grocery boutique and bakery full of cute Miffy-themed. Even if you are not a Miffy lover, you can check it out and buy some seasonal items for your friends! The most special and attractive is the Miffy head bread doll, which is super cute and suitable for both adults and children 📍みっふぃー森のきっちん & べーかりー軽井泽店 (Miffy Forest Kitchen) - 559 Karuizawa, Kitasaku District, Nagano 389-0102, Japan #JapanTravel #Tokyo #Karuizawa #miffy

Karuizawa is a summer resort town where the atmosphere of the town is a perfect blend of traditional Japanese charm and classic European style, with churches, churches, shrines, and beautiful houses. "Kyukaruizawa Ginza Dori": A street where you can see, shop, and eat, with shops, art museums, shopping plazas, souvenir shops, cafes, and a variety of restaurants. In particular, the Snoopy ice cream bread is sooo delicious!!!

Karuizawa is also famous as a birthplace of sweets. The power of the Karuizawa brand is so great that just the name of a sweet with Karuizawa in it makes it sound delicious. Mikasa Street in the Karuizawa area, which can be reached in a 5-10 minute walk from Karuizawa Station, is full of photogenic sweets and gourmet shops! For sweets, we recommend Shirakaba-do's Karuizawa Tart, which is a perfect souvenir for all generations, and Coffee Kokura, whose photogenic crepes and galettes have become popular on social media. For gourmet food, we recommend Brasserie Chouette, a French regional dish, and Castagne, a rotisserie chicken restaurant. There are many other photogenic shops, so be sure to enjoy them while you stroll around. #Gourmet tour #Karuizawa #Karuizawa trip #Tourist spot

Located just off the old Karuizawa street, this is a soba restaurant you definitely want to try if you go to Karuizawa. It's Kawakami-an. It opens at 11:00, but on weekends in particular, there's a long line before the restaurant opens, and the line is constant all day. It's a popular soba restaurant not only for lunch but also for dinner, as they also serve alcohol and snacks! The restaurant is very spacious, so you can get in quickly despite the line. Of course, the best thing to try here is the soba, but the specialty walnut sauce is the best, so be sure to order it with an extra serving. (It's about an extra 400 yen) The atmosphere is great and the soba is delicious, so I recommend it! #NaganoTourism#Karuizawa #OldKaruizawa #Kawakami-an

One of the most popular tourist spots in Karuizawa is the shopping street, Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza ⛪️.
