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.
