Karuizawa Lazy Travel Guide: Everything You Need to Know Summer just isn't complete without a trip to Karuizawa! Having lived in Japan for six years and visited Karuizawa five times, I'm sharing a super detailed itinerary and guide for your reference! 1⃣️ Transportation I've listed three transportation options for you to choose from based on your needs. ⚠️ Remember to book your round-trip tickets in advance for all options! 🚝 Most Time-Saving! Shinkansen (Highly Recommended) • Fare: Approximately 6,000 yen one-way • Travel Time: 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes • Booking: The Hokuriku Shinkansen stops only at Tokyo Station and Ueno Station in Tokyo, directly reaching Karuizawa Station. You can book online through the [JR East Japan Online Booking System] or purchase at JR station counters. Seats may be limited on weekends, so it's best to book early! 🚌 Most Affordable! Highway Bus (Ideal for those with no rush and on a budget) • Fare: Approximately 2,500-3,000 yen one-way • Travel Time: About 3 hours • Booking: You can reserve through the official websites of major bus companies or travel apps like Rakuten. Tickets are also available at bus ticket counters in Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, and Ikebukuro. 🚗 Most Convenient! Self-Drive (Best for those who dislike hassle) • Travel Time: 1 hour 25 minutes (131 km) • Route: Nerima IC ➡️ (Kan-Etsu Expressway) ➡️ Fujioka JCT ➡️ (Joshin-Etsu Expressway) ➡️ Shiibuki Karuizawa IC 2⃣️ Recommended Attractions ⚠️ After arrival, it's recommended to rent an electric bike to explore Karuizawa. A two-day, one-night rental costs 3,000 yen, less than 140 RMB, making it both comfortable and affordable! (See p2) Day 1 📍 Senju Art Museum (Highly Recommended) (See p3) Admission: 1,500 yen. Hidden in the serene forest of Karuizawa, this museum was designed by the renowned architect Ryue Nishizawa. Through large glass windows, you can enjoy the changing seasons, feeling as if you're inside a series of dynamic paintings. Art and nature blend seamlessly here. Note: Photography is prohibited inside the museum. 📍 Stone Church Experience the coexistence of people, architecture, and nature. It's quite interesting, but photography is not allowed inside the church. 📍 Highland Church (See p4) Great spot for photos, often hosts events that require reservations. 📍 Elm Street Town (See p5), Village食堂 (See p6) These churches are close to each other, so you can visit them together. Afterward, head to the Village食堂 in Elm Street Town for a meal, but note that reservations are required. 📍 Hoshino Onsen (Hot Spring) (See p7) Highly recommended for its great value! 📍 Return to Hotel Day 2 📍 Shiraito Falls (Highly Recommended) (See p8) One of the largest waterfalls in Japan, with stunning views and great photo opportunities! 📍 Ginza Street Shop and eat to your heart's content. 📍 Karuizawa New Art Museum (See p9) Designed by Kengo Kuma, the Birch Church is a highlight. Note that some works are not allowed to be photographed, and the second floor requires an additional fee. 📍 Kumobaike Pond Beautiful in all seasons, perfect for photos. 📍 Outlet Mall (See p10) Enough said, just go and shop! 🏠 Return Trip 3⃣️ Detailed Schedule and Essential Costs For reference only 😬 (See p11) #JapanFreeTravel #Karuizawa #JapanTravelGuide

MALAIKAアウトレット店目当てで行って、他の衣料や雑貨屋、クレープ屋などもブラブラ覗いた。空き店舗あるのがちょっと残念でした。 ちょっとひと休み出来るベンチなどあり、日陰とベンチのある喫煙所が入口から真っ直ぐ行き、サークル状の中庭そばにあります、喫煙所の隣に自動販売機もあり利用させてもらいました、暑くて水分補給と少し休憩したかったので助かりました。 トイレは有料だけど100円だし、それで清潔さや秩序が保たれており安心して使えます。 もしトイレに100円払いたくない人がいたら、少し離れた場所に無料の公衆トイレがあるのでそちらへ行く事をオススメします。

旧軽井沢銀座通りから横に入るストリートで､レストラン､コーヒーショップ等のお店があります､ここの二階のイタリアンレストラン(トラットリア モンテ・クッチーナ)はピザ､パスタ､ステーキ､ハンバーグのお店です｡銀座通りは喫煙スペースがないがここには喫煙所があります｡又､有料ですが綺麗に清掃されたトイレもあり､ このストリートを抜けた道路の先に聖パウロ教会があります｡
