Bread and jam are also part of Karuizawa's culture.
Let's introduce a pension that specializes in bread and jam.
Karuizawa's jams are famous and many people buy them as souvenirs.
Karuizawa is the birthplace of jam in Japan, and it is said that its roots date back to the Meiji era, when many foreigners visited as a summer resort and learned how to make jam from missionaries and Russians.
There are many people who make jam not only at jam shops, but also at cafes and individuals, as well as pensions.

The famous ones are

Sawamura . There is the old light Ginza and Harunire.
Jean Valjean is popular these days. It is located near the Kashimanomori Hotel in Old Karuizawa.
There are bakers who have gone abroad to train, and there are also cases where former bakers from famous hotels have run their own bakeries.
Of course, the more bread there is, the more delicious it will be through friendly competition, but not only that, but there are also many customers in Karuizawa who are concerned about bread.
There are still many foreigners living here, and they request the same bread they used to eat in their home country from the bakery in town.
Also, there are many Japanese people who have lived overseas for a long time. They really understand the taste of bread in that country.
By being trained by customers in this way, Karuizawa's bakery will become a bakery that will satisfy even the locals.
Everyone in Karuizawa loves bread, even the ordinary residents, because it is delicious.
In this way, bread culture has taken root in Karuizawa.
