skate
Kazukoshi Park's ice arena is a year-round indoor ice rink.
We also have skates for rent, so you can easily enjoy ice skating.
There is also an outdoor skating rink, which will open on November 11th in 2016.

Skating is very familiar in Karuizawa.

Elementary schools in Karuizawa have skating classes where anyone can skate!
Enthusiastic children also have their own shoes.

There are many kinds of skating, and in Karuizawa, ice hockey is especially popular.
They are very enthusiastic and have several hockey teams, and Karuizawa High School has high school students from all over the country studying hockey abroad.

Long ago, there was also a Seibu ice skating rink in Sengataki.
Also, before that, it was possible to skate at Yagasaki Pond in front of the station, but now, perhaps due to global warming, it is no longer completely frozen and it is no longer possible to skate.

A new skating rink opened in Karuizawa in winter 2016.

The name "Piccolo Hotel Opera Karuizawa" is inspired by music. Musical instruments such as cellos and grand pianos can be found throughout the hotel. Decorated with furniture inspired by opera heroines, you can feel the music with your eyes no matter where you are in the building.  I never had the chance to play ice hockey, but now that I'm over 50, I've become a member of a team, and now I'm having fun and fulfilling my old dream.  You can also talk about curling.
