Karuizawa station
Opened in 1910, Nakakaruizawa Station serves as the gateway to Karuizawa, attracting tourists and providing convenient access for visitors. There are some souvenir shops and restaurants in this station, So we can stay and be comfortable here.
In fact, when we arrived here, we could spend 2 hours in this station eating “Udon” and “Soba” and shopping. That’s how much It provides superb environments for tourists.
Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza Street
Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza Street, where there are so many restaurants and souvenir shops is a traditional spot in Karuizawa.
Located approximately 500 meters from the Kyu-Karuizawa Rotary, this area lies in the direction of the old Usui Pass from the Old Karuizawa Rotary. It used to be a bustling shopping street frequented by affluent foreigners and Japanese visitors who stayed in Karuizawa.
While we were spending time here, we enjoyed eating sweets, especially a crape which included “Whipped cream” “Fresh fruits” and “Chocolate”. It was so tasty because Nagano is known as a city where there are delicious fruits.
Nagano’s high altitude ensures that fruits receive ample sunshine, resulting in sweetness without any tanginess. When paired with mildly sweet whipped cream, it creates a perfect balance.
So If you get a chance, I want you to try it.

Shiraito Falls
The Shiraito Falls, with a height of about 3 meters and a width of approximately 70 meters, cascade in a continuous stream. Named for its resemblance to threads of silk, the falls emerge from underground springs within the rocks.
The crystal-clear water, the graceful falls, and the gently curved surface create a space like a stage.
While we were staying here, I found solace in the coolness while experiencing the refreshing sensation of negative ions. Although we couldn’t personally witness it, during the summer season at night, the falls are illuminated at night, creating a captivating sight. If you come here, I highly recommend experiencing it.

For example, They are particular about the number ‘Twin,’ evident in their insistence on pairs throughout the hotel, from wall murals to amenities. Various elements of ‘Twin’ are scattered throughout, so I encourage you to take a look at it.
And I had dinner here, which was incredibly delicious. The restaurant here is ‘José Luis,’ founded in Spain in 1957, and it makes food using Shinshu ingredients from Nagano.
The harmony between Spanish cuisine and local ingredients created a wonderful synergy. The vegetables are also incredibly tasty, so I highly recommend experiencing Nagano through your taste.
