Karuizawa is more than a summer retreat.
It is a classic highland resort journey that combines forests, waterfalls, lakeside scenery, elegant churches, charming streets, and outlet shopping.

a private car allows you to explore Karuizawa more comfortably and flexibly.
In one day, you can enjoy the cool atmosphere of Shiraito Falls, walk around the peaceful Kumoba Pond,
explore Old Karuizawa Ginza Street, and experience Karuizawa’s relaxed resort atmosphere.
