๐ Tokyo Surrounding Red Leaves ยท Karuizawa ๐
Last year, I visited Karuizawa, a place on my bucket list. The scenery during the red leaf season is truly breathtaking. It's an easy day trip from Tokyo, or you can stay overnight. ๐ Strategy Karuizawa is mainly divided into two areas: "Old Karuizawa" and "Naka-Karuizawa". Old Karuizawa: Yunokigawa Pond, Old Karuizawa Ginza Street (a small pedestrian walkway) Naka-Karuizawa: The Hoshino Resorts area, which is home to the famous (Chapel on the Highland) and (Stone Church). You can also pay to soak in the Hoshino hot springs. ๐ฒ In Karuizawa, there's no need to rush from one spot to another; renting a bicycle and riding around is very comfortable. ๐ Famous Red Leaf Spots: Yunokigawa Pond, Shirasagi Falls (actually, the scenery along the roadside is beautiful too). ๐ Transportation: Tokyo to Karuizawa: Shinkansen in 1 hour. ๐ Best Red Leaf Viewing Period: Late October to early November. ยฉ๏ธ๏ธ๐๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ #JapaneseRedLeafSeason #TokyoTravel #Karuizawa
