Itinerary
We will guide you from the car window to the former Karuizawa area.
Karuizawa's oldest church, founded in 1895 by Canadian missionary Alexander Croft Shaw.
If it is sunny, Mt. Asama, Mt. Myogi mountain range, Southern Alps, and Yatsugatake can be overlooked, and if the conditions are clear, the sea of clouds will spread below your eyes.
The best power spot in Karuizawa. It is a rare Shinto shrine that stands across the prefectural border.
Karuizawa's symbolic church, built in 1955. The architect was the architect of the American architect Antony Raymond. This church features a steep triangle roof and a large steeple. Many people, including celebrities, are raising ceremonies here as a wedding hall, as it is written in a novel by Hori Tatsuo, "When we get married in St. Paul's church, we are blessed by many people." .
An elegant Western-style building designated as an important cultural asset of the country, standing in the larch forest. The building is made of wooden buildings, as far as the decoration is concerned, and the key people of the political and business community, who once visited for summer summer, held a splendid dinner and party every night, and was called Karuizawa's Kanarukan. * It will be a tour from the car window. Please consult with us if you wish to visit inside.
A beautiful pond called "Swan Lake" because swans flew in winter. In early summer, fresh green and fiery autumn leaves are projected, and in winter, a pure white "snow scene" spreads and it can be enjoyed every season.

About Karuizawa
Karuizawa is a cool highland resort in Nagano Prefecture, at the foot of the volcano Mount Asama, with pine woods, old villas and tree-lined lanes.
Karuizawa began as a mountain retreat for foreign missionaries and diplomats in the late nineteenth century, escaping the heat of Tokyo, and kept its European air. Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza, the old main street, has timber shopfronts, bakeries and jam shops, and a stone church in the woods is popular for weddings. The town lies at about 1,000 metres, with Mount Asama, a volcano of 2,568 metres, rising to the north.
