A shop in Nishi Karuizawa. It's a small bakery located next to the animal hospital! When I entered the shop in the snow... Even though it was only 9am, there were already a lot of people there 👀 It was a hidden popular shop! When I was checking the lineup for the day, I saw a lot of paper bags in front of the register 🛍️ It was bread for reservations! I thought I had to hurry or it would sell out, but when I looked at the register, there was a line!!! It's really popular. And it smells good because it's freshly baked 🤤 I couldn't resist, so I bought it and ate it in the car right away! Baguette with condensed milk cream and white bread ♡ Hard bread and chewy bread. It's organic bread that doesn't contain anything bad for you, and it's okay to eat it with 🐶, which is great🫶 This will definitely be a place I visit when I go to Karuizawa🤭 🏠: may's bakery 💰: Soy milk bread from 460 yen 📍: 2568-27 Miyota, Miyota-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture #seasonal places in Japan #bakery #bakery tour #Karuizawa

Heading to Karuizawa in winter! A tour of the Karuizawa Beer factory that can be enjoyed even when it's cold or snowing🍻 It's about a 2-30 minute drive from Karuizawa🚗 The tour itself takes just under 30 minutes, with 30 minutes for tasting. You can choose from three types of beer servers while looking at Mt. Asama! This time there were three types: yuzu, white, and red. It seems that white beer is only available in winter, so some people visit every season👀 And above all, you can only drink draft beer here! The canned beer they sell is heat-treated, so it's not draft🤫 Isn't 500 yen too cheap for that draft beer and a souvenir canned beer? I'd love to drink draft beer on the terrace while looking at Mt. Asama in the summer! I'm daydreaming about it 🤤 🏠: Karuizawa Brewery Factory (THE Karuizawa Beer) 💰: Factory tour 500 yen 📍: Nagatoro 64-3, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture #seasonal places in Japan #Karuizawa #beer factory #factory tour #draft beer

Karuizawa is famous as a pet-friendly tourist destination. We stayed at the dog-friendly cottage "Herman Teddy Collector's House" in Nakakaruizawa, near the center of the city. The two-story log house is rented out as a whole, and it even comes with a private dog run! The "Flori" where we stayed this time also had a wood stove🔥 Of course, this cottage is recommended not only for those with dogs, but also for those with children, families, and groups. You can spend a relaxing time with the cute bears from the German teddy bear brand "Herman Teddy". 💡Recommended points💡 ①A log house that feels the warmth of wood A house by "BESS", Japan's leading log house manufacturer. It is well-built, so you won't be bothered by the footsteps and cries of the people around you. It opened in 2023, and the furniture and interior are very stylish! You can relax both physically and mentally while being surrounded by the faint scent of logs. ②A facility that is friendly to pets Dogs are allowed on the first floor! It's really nice to be able to spend time with your dog as usual even when you're traveling. I was impressed by the services provided by owners who have dogs, such as pet sheets, blankets, and wet wipes. In addition, there is a dog run space for boarding and a pet hotel, so it is perfect for those who enjoy art museums and golf. ③Surrounding area and access It faces National Route 18 and is close to Shiozawa Street. It is also easily accessible to major tourist spots, making it the perfect base for sightseeing in Karuizawa. It is also very convenient, being only a 3-minute drive from the large supermarket "Tsuruya". ④Facilities You will be taught how to use the wood stove when you check in (there is also air conditioning). In addition, all the necessary kitchen utensils were provided, from rice cookers, toasters, microwaves, and electric kettles to pots, cooking utensils, cute tableware, and consumables. There is also a cage for dogs, so you can feel safe when shopping at the supermarket. ⑤ Herman Teddy Collection Inside the shop where the reception is located, Herman Teddy stuffed toys are lined up, making it look like a small art museum 🧸 It's a wonderful collection for fans and also as a gift. 🌲🌲🌲 Even before we visited, the kind owner said, "It's cold in Karuizawa, so please dress warmly." On the day, the mascot dog Hana-chan also welcomed us, and combined with the cute log house, it instantly became our favorite facility. This is a place we would like to recommend to anyone who wants to make wonderful memories in Karuizawa. 📍〒389-0111 741-1 Nagakura, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture 🚗Parking available 💰1-night rate (for 4 guests) Uta...From 11,000 yen/person Flori...From 16,000 yen/person Lenz...From 13,000 yen/person #Accommodationtrip #Karuizawa #Karuizawahotel #Cottage #Loghouse #Rentalvilla

Karuizawa Kogen Church holds a candlelight night every summer and winter, as it is said that missionaries once lit the candles in summer and winter to guide people. ✨ There is a 6m Christmas tree in front of the church. 🎄 A starlit promenade in the middle of the forest. 🌟 Candles are scattered throughout the forest, and the crisp night air is enveloped in a fantastic light. It was a truly wonderful night. 😇 🚩 Karuizawa Kogen Church 🟡 Reservations only ⚠️ Reservations are full this year, so aim for next summer!

I went to Karuizawa by bullet train to see the autumn leaves🍁! I stayed at the "Kyu-Karuizawa Kikyo Curio Collection by Hilton". It's a 5-minute drive from Karuizawa Station, or a 15-minute walk, but they pick you up and drop you off in a Mercedes🎵 You can use it as many times as you like during your stay👍️ There's an outlet in front of the station, so you can get picked up and shop, and within walking distance are the old Karuizawa Ginza and Kumobaike Pond, a famous spot for autumn leaves, so the location is great! The hotel has 50 rooms, and it's quiet, and most of the rooms are over 50 square meters, so it's perfect for staying in💓 (The room in the photo I stayed in is the Kikyo Suite) What's more, the drinks (including alcohol) and snacks in the refrigerator in the room are free‼ ️ This is a nice service😃 In the evening, alcohol and soft drinks are free in the lounge, and snacks are also served. (Free for Hilton Diamonds, paid for non-Diamonds) The courtyard has a chapel and beautiful nature, so it's relaxing. In autumn, the leaves change color, but in summer, it's cool, and the snowy scenery in winter is also attractive. I'd like to return in a different season... If you value the view from your room, book a room with "Courtyard" in it! 📍Kyu-Karuizawa Kikyo Curio Collection by Hilton 491-5 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture ◽Train From Tokyo Station to Karuizawa Station, about 1 hour by Hokuriku Shinkansen About 5 minutes by shuttle ◽Car From Joshinetsu Expressway/Usui Karuizawa IC exit, about 15 minutes (about 10km) #trip accommodation report #hotel #hotel stay #karuizawa #photogenic spot #autumn leaf viewing #trip #autumn leaf photo #domestic travel #domestic trip #autumn travel

Where to go to see autumn leaves🍁? This time, we will introduce some autumn leaf viewing spots in Nagano that we actually went to and were glad to have visited! 📍 #Karuizawa The photo is of Cresson Riverside Story Kyu-Karuizawa In addition to this place, the area around Kumoba Pond is also a great place to see autumn leaves! 📍 #Yokotani Gorge There is a promenade, so you can enjoy a stroll! This is the view from a place that looks like an observation deck! I went on a tour, so I'm sorry I don't know the exact location💦 📍 #Chouenji I was able to see such bright red autumn leaves that I wondered if there were such red leaves❗️ I've been to this place before, so check the autumn leaf situation this year before you go! #0 yen trip November #Nagano #Nagano sightseeing #Nagano trip

📍Harunire Terrace Hoshino, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture 《Access》 About 16 minutes on foot from Nakakaruizawa Station exit About 56 minutes on foot from Shinano-Oiwake Station exit Move from Kusatsu to Karuizawa🚗 ▶️Harunire Terrace, a collection of restaurants, cafes, and general stores in the Hoshino area of ​​Karuizawa There was a long line at the very popular soba restaurant Kawakami-an😅 Browse around at this tasteful general store. ▶️My favorite coffee after dinner was Maruyama Coffee... The owner personally traveled around farms overseas and purchased high-quality coffee beans to make his own coffee. Here you can sample about six types of coffee at any given time, and you can drink it on the terrace or relax inside while reading a book. I was soothed by the aroma and taste of the coffee. ▶️At Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura, popular for its homemade yeast bread, you can enjoy freshly baked bread and European cuisine for lunch at the bakery and restaurant attached to the bakery. The lunch menu includes meat dishes, fish dishes, pasta, and special burgers made with buns unique to the bakery. We ordered the salad set. The salad comes with three types of bread, and we were surprised at how much of it there was😳😳😳 The vegetables, bread croutons, cheese, and Shine Muscat grapes added a nice accent to the flavor. It was very delicious. #HarunireTerrace #Karuizawa #MaruyamaCoffee #Lunch #Miscellaneous Goods #0 Yen Trip November #Girls Trip #Nagano #Karuizawa Sightseeing
