Standard sightseeing route
If you have time, go to a href="http://www.tsumagoi-kankou.jp/kanko/asama/kannon.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kamabara Kannondo/a It might be a good idea to stretch your legs. You can experience the horror of the Tenmei eruption.
On the way down, after seeing a href="http://www.karuizawa-shw.com/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Shiraito Falls/a, continue down a href ="http://karuizawa-ginza.org/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kyu Karuizawa/a is also good, but if you go through Kose Forest Road, a href="http:// You can go to www.hoshinoresort.com/resortsandhotels/daytrip/harunireterrace.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Harunireterrace/a.
Kose Rindo is a dirt road along the Yukawa River (it may not be suitable for cars with low ground clearance), and you can see kingfishers along this stream in the summer.
Kose Rindo is the place where trolleys used to run long ago when the ancestors of Hoshino Resorts operated a sawmill.
Once you get off at Harunire, it might be a good idea to take a walk around Harunire.
You can enter the Wild Bird Forest for free. It's fun to walk around on your own, but it might be more fun to take a tour with Picchio first as you'll learn a lot more (see below).
In the Hoshino area, various nature tours are held at a href="http://picchio.co.jp/sp/" class="css_btn_class" target="_balnk"Picchio/a throughout the year. It has been.
The ``Wild Bird Forest Nature Tour'' is famous, but the ``Flying Flying Squirrel Watching Tour'' is also held at night.
Depending on the season, you can also see a href="http://hocchi-hotaru.com/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"fireflies/a in Karuizawa.
Of course, the starry sky is also beautiful.
From the summit of Mt. Kurodada, you can see the majestic Asama up close.
Black Spot was the old Mt. Asama, which collapsed 24,000 years ago (Tsukahara mud avalanche), filling the Karuizawa valley and creating today's Karuizawa.
The deep valley of Yukawa, where Karuizawa Ohashi Bridge, which is famous as a haunted spot, spans, was also created by the erosion of this earth and sand.
There is a course to climb Mt. Asama from Mine no Chaya and a course from Komoro, but currentlya href="http://www.town.karuizawa.lg.jp/www/contents/1001000001007/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Mountain entry is restricted/a and you cannot climb to the top of the mountain.
On the other hand, if you have climbed to the top of the mountain, go in the opposite direction to Mt. Kurodamara and take the ``Yunomaru Takamine Forest Road'' (shuttle bus available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in summer) along the cliffs at an altitude of 2000 m, and go to a href="http://www .tomikan.jp/yunomaru/" class="css_btn_class" target="_blank"Ikenotaira Wetlands/aa href="http://www.yamakei-online.com/yamanavi/yama.php?yama_id =334" class="css_btn_class" target="_blank"Climbing the basket/aClimbing is also possible.
Although it is a relatively easy climb, the weather on the mountain can change in an instant. Please make sure you are properly equipped just in case.
Even if you don't climb the mountain, the view from the cafe at Takamine Kogen Hotel is wonderful if the weather is nice.
It is a relatively gentle promenade, and if the weather is good, you can expect a great view from the observation deck as the name suggests. After the rain, you can even see a sea of clouds.
If you are feeling well, you can walk up and down the promenade, but during the season a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kkbc/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class" The Red Bus/a extends to the observation deck, so you can also take the bus one way.
If you go to Kyu Karuizawa, you should also take a walk around Kyu Karuizawa.
From the viewing platform, you can continue down the Old Nakasendo Road to near Lake Usui. The difficulty level will increase.
It is possible to take a short detour and pass through Ontaki and Metaki, but you will be rowing through the bushes, so you will need to be prepared (if you plan on rowing through the bushes, there are mountain hiru on the Usui side, so don't forget to bring gloves and shorts). Zuni).
There are some people who ride MTBs down the old Nakasendo Road, but please do so so as not to disturb the general mountaineers.
a href="http://karuizawa-kankokyokai.jp/knowledge/13258/#section2" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Sengataki/a is also easy to climb physically. The water that flows down from Senga Falls becomes Mikage water (described later).
a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/hanareyama/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"remote mountain hiking/a is easier, but the view from the top is also limited by the trees. It may grow (trees grow very fast!) and it may not be very interesting.
It is easy to climb from Mine no Chaya to a href="http://rakumeizan.kitakaruizawa.net/koasama/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Koshama/a (about 2 hours round trip) is.
It is a mountain that every local has climbed at least once.
In terms of topography, it feels like walking on top of the Oiwake pyroclastic flow, which is said to have occurred around 1160.
During the Tenmei eruption, pyroclastic flows mainly flowed to the north, forming Onioshidashi, but before that, there were also collapses to the south.
Along the way, you will see b``Blood Falls''/b, b``Pond of Blood''/b, b``Source'' of the Nigori River/b, and several b``Zazen Cave''/b. b.
As the name suggests, Nigorikawa is characterized by its brown and murky water. It's cloudy all year round, not just after rain.
At first glance, this color may seem like a mixture of clay or other soil, or tannin exuding from rotting leaves, but that is not the case. The source of Nigorikawa is transparent. However, it is highly acidic and will quickly oxidize the iron in the water and turn brown after a while.
You can enjoy a magnificent view of Asama from the top of the mountain, which is 1667m above sea level.
Since it is used for excursions, it is a relatively easy course, although there are some steep climbs in some parts. However, since you will be climbing, it is better to wear shoes with thick soles so that the soles of your feet will not get sore, and since the weather can change suddenly, it is safer to climb with appropriate equipment.
If you're lucky, you might encounter an antelope along the way.
Also, there is a possibility of encountering a bear, so it might be a good idea to prepare a bear bell.
If you leave early in the morning, you can stroll around Oiwake-juku after returning.
For reference, I will link the a href="http://hirasan.canada2194.com/sekisonsan.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Hira-san's High Trekking/a site. .
The monkeys in Karuizawa are not as ferocious as those in Nikko Irohazaka. but It is strictly prohibited to feed wild monkeys. is.
The correct answer is to chase them away toward the mountain, as the "monkey chasers" commissioned by the town do, but it is dangerous if you don't get used to them, so don't approach them and ignore them.
Bears also frequently appear in Karuizawa. It is said that wearing a bear bell is effective. Bears are also timid, so if they know in advance that someone is coming, they will move away from them. If you happen to come across one, if you panic and try to run away immediately, it is said that you will be chased. It is said that it is best to keep a certain distance and let the bear know that you have no intention of attacking it before backing away, but I don't know if it would be possible to do such a scary thing. Mother bears with their cubs are said to be the most dangerous. Not only tourists, What you should never do is throw away or leave uneaten lunches and other trash behind. is. Not only is it dirty, but bears come down from the mountains to the town to hunt for it.
bBoars/b are also scary. If you look at it up close, it's huge. They appear not only in the mountains of Karuizawa, but also all over town. The chance of encountering a wild boar in Karuizawa is much higher than a bear. A mother wild boar with her young called uribou (usually several of them walking side by side and cute) is very dangerous. Even if you are inside your car, they may rush at you and cause damage to your car.
bDeer/bThe animals that require the most attention when driving are the deer that appear on the roads at night or early in the morning.
The number of deer has increased in Karuizawa in recent years, and they are often seen, for example, on the road from the Karuizawa Interchange over Kazumi Pass to Prince Road. You can't avoid it if you're going too fast. If you hit a deer, it will cause damage to your car because it is large. If you approach the deer soon, the deer will avoid you, but if the deer are moving in a herd, the male deer may attack to protect the herd.
In addition to deer, there are many animals that cross the roads at night in Karuizawa (including many cats), so drive slowly.
Not only will you not hurt the animals, you will also avoid accidents yourself.
Also, once a fox receives food from a tourist, it may approach the car on its own. Never feed .
Wild animals may carry unexpected diseases, so it is safer to stay away from them even if they are small. Also, avoid bringing pets near.
Important information, not just about bear sightings, can be obtained relatively quickly through Karuizawa Public Information, which is sent out by Karuizawa Town Hall. The information is sent by email from time to time, and the list is a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/koho.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kouhou Karuizawa /a can also be viewed.

At any pension in Karuizawa, you can hear the annoying sounds of wild birds in the morning.
At Picchio, you can see many wild birds at the a href="http://picchio.co.jp/sp/visitorcenter/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Visitor Center/a] without taking a tour. can be observed.
Even if you don't go that far, there are many pensions where the birds are fed and you can watch birds up close on the terrace. In such pensions, squirrels also visit to hunt for sunflower seeds.
sports adventure
Karuizawa is also the location where both the summer (horse riding) and winter (curling) Olympics were held.

If you like cars, Karuizawa is a must-see!
Driving through the plateau is exhilarating and fun.
Many motorcycle touring tourists come from all over the country.

When automobiles were not yet common, guests of vacation homes were likely transported using these means of transportation.
Additionally, Karuizawa was the first special district in Japan to allow two-seater bicycles.
Recently, rental bicycles include not only mama's bikes, but also electrically assisted bicycles. There are also shops that rent out stylish LOUIS GAREAU.
After exercising, go shopping at a href="http://www.tsuruya-corp.co.jp/store/karuizawa.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Tsuruya/a with your friends. It's fun to have a BBQ.
Karuizawa's huge supermarket "Tsuruya" is now one of the tourist spots where tour buses also stop.
During the season, the nearby roads are very congested, so it's best to go at different times.
If you're tired from exercising, take a relaxing soak in the hot springs.
history
Above all, we recommend the Old Karuizawa Guide by a href="http://karuizawa-kankokyokai.jp/knowledge/2562/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Karuizawa Guide Association/a is. You can enjoy intellectual Karuizawa.
Even if it's not Old Karuizawa, if there's something you want to know more about, it's a good idea to let us know in advance.

One of the standard courses of the guide group, a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?action=spot&kt=156" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class_sub" I would like to introduce you to the traces of upper class dreams.
Oiwake-juku was the largest post station in this area during the Edo period.

The Oiwake area has been left behind in terms of tourism development compared to other areas, so it doesn't suffer from bad traffic jams, and is actually an area for advanced visitors dotted with ``hideout'' shops for people who know Karuizawa well.
Since it hasn't been developed, it retains its old appearance, and it might be fun to follow the old Nakasendo route.
Stretch your legs a little bita href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?search=%E5%BE%A1%E5%BD%B1%E7%94%A8% E6%B0%B4%E8%B7%AF" target="_blank"Mikageyosui/a might also be a good idea to visit. This was created in an attempt to raise the temperature of Karuizawa's cold water by using sunlight. Water flowing down from Sengataki falls here. You can enjoy scenery that is not typical of Karuizawa.
When it comes to fighting the cold, larch windbreaks are a must. If you go further, a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?search=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%9C%80% E5%8F%A4%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%84" target="_blank"Japan's oldest larch forest/ a can also be viewed.

Museum tour
Also, during the season, solo exhibitions and group exhibitions of various people are often held at small facilities or cafes.
You can't visit all of them in one day.
If you decide on a specific area to visit, you can also rent a bicycle.

It's really fun to be able to see the artists up close and, if you're lucky, even talk to them.
There are unexpected appearances by famous artists, and there are also concerts by people who perform as a hobby.
You can see that atmosphere in the TBS drama ``Quartet.''
It looks like a href="#quartet"a pilgrimage to visit the filming locations of the quartet/a has already begun.
Once everything settles down, I might feature it here as well.
Reference: The restaurant "Nocturne" that appears in the drama is a fictional restaurant.
The exterior uses the a href="http://www.kazenoshiwaza.com/kunseikoubou/"smoking workshop restaurant/a located on the R18 bypass, but the interior seems to have been filmed in Tokyo. .
Karuizawa is regularly used for TV coverage and filming of dramas, etc.
There are also people who came across the filming site this time as well as townspeople who appeared as extras.
For young aspiring artists, why not hold a mini concert or solo exhibition at a fashionable restaurant in Karuizawa?
Depending on your negotiation, you may be able to get permission from an unexpected restaurant.
Experience-based Karuizawa
Below we will introduce some that are relatively easy to experience during the season. Reservations are required for most experiences.
spend a relaxing time
There are two types of cafes in Karuizawa.
One type is a cafe whose main target is tourists, but there is also a ``gathering cafe,'' which has a completely different character.
This may have originally been a cafe where vacationers gathered, but the owner's hobbies (same as a pension) naturally give it its own personality. For example, if you're looking for a cafe where car enthusiasts can gather, go to a href="http://mototeca.jp/cafe.html" target="_blank"Moto Teca/a (closed as a cafe in December 2016). a href="http://www.kawanrumor.com/" target="_blank"Kawanrumor/a, a href="http://cafegtcar.wix.com/cafegt" target="_blank" Cafe GT Karuizawa/a immediately comes to mind. There are also many other cafes where music lovers can gather. The owners of such cafes are usually talkative.
All the customers like to talk. However, this is Karuizawa, and it doesn't feel like an outsider can't get into it.
bForget the hustle and bustle of the city, take off the armor of work, return to your true self and enjoy the conversation/b.
There, you don't have to give your identity or name. This can also be said to be part of the culture of Karuizawa, a resort area.
I'm sure you'll find a cafe where you can spend your time comfortably.
Based in Karuizawa
The TBS drama quartet is set in Karuizawa and will begin airing in January 2017, and it seems that the pilgrimage to the filming locations has already begun.

If the roads are empty, you can easily visit the area by car in one day, but we recommend staying overnight and exploring the area at your leisure.
There are some places that are not tourist spots, so if you are going on a pilgrimage, please be careful not to disturb others.
secret tourist spots
Karuizawa is most famous for Prince Shopping Plaza (commonly known as Outlet) these days, but there are also plenty of tourist spots!

The former Mikasa Hotel is a purely Western-style wooden hotel from the late Meiji period that was designed and constructed by Japanese people. It still retains the memories of famous people who founded the Meiji and Taisho eras. During the war, the Karuizawa branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established here, and after the war it was taken over by the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division and became a facility for the Occupation Forces, so the history surrounding this building is very interesting. At that time, it was located 70 meters south of this location, but it was moved here and preserved. In May 1980, it was designated as a national important cultural property. As mentioned below, many buildings have been preserved in Karuizawa.
The side road lined with larch trees is the track trace of the a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kusakaru/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kusa light railway/a.

If you continue down the road, you will see a href="http://www.town.karuizawa.lg.jp/www/contents/1001000000964/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Important Cultural Property/Former Mikasa Hotel/ a and then a href="http://www.i-turn.jp/karuizawa-mikasadouri-karamatu-namiki.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Larch row of trees/a You can watch it.
The former Mikasa Hotel is a purely Western-style wooden hotel from the late Meiji period that was designed and constructed by Japanese people. It still retains the memories of famous people who founded the Meiji and Taisho eras. During the war, the Karuizawa branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established here, and after the war it was taken over by the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division and became a facility for the Occupation Forces, so the history surrounding this building is very interesting. At that time, it was located 70 meters south of this location, but it was moved here and preserved. In May 1980, it was designated as a national important cultural property. As mentioned below, many buildings have been preserved in Karuizawa.
The side road lined with larch trees is the track trace of the a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kusakaru/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kusa light railway/a.

Day 1
When I went to a href="http://www.princehotels.co.jp/amuse/onioshidashi/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Onioshidashi/a, I also went to a href="http We also visited the Volcano Museum/a.

You can experience the horror of the Tenmei eruption.
On the way down, after seeing a href="http://www.karuizawa-shw.com/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Shiraito Falls/a, continue down a href ="http://karuizawa-ginza.org/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kyu Karuizawa/a is also good, but if you go through Kose Forest Road, a href="http:// You can go to www.hoshinoresort.com/resortsandhotels/daytrip/harunireterrace.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Harunireterrace/a.
Kose Rindo is a dirt road along the Yukawa River (it may not be suitable for cars with low ground clearance), and you can see kingfishers along this stream in the summer.
Kose Rindo is the place where trolleys used to run long ago when the ancestors of Hoshino Resorts operated a sawmill.
Once you get off at Harunire, it might be a good idea to take a walk around Harunire.
You can enter the Wild Bird Forest for free. It's fun to walk around on your own, but it might be more fun to take a tour with Picchio first as you'll learn a lot more (see below).
Nature watching after dinner
In the Hoshino area, various nature tours are held at a href="http://picchio.co.jp/sp/" class="css_btn_class" target="_balnk"Picchio/a throughout the year. It has been. The ``Wild Bird Forest Nature Tour'' is famous, but the ``Flying Flying Squirrel Watching Tour'' is also held at night.
Depending on the season, you can also see a href="http://hocchi-hotaru.com/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"fireflies/a in Karuizawa.
Of course, the starry sky is also beautiful.
2nd day
Plan 1
We recommend going to the high peak and a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kurofu/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"climb Mt. Kuro Madarayama/a.From the summit of Mt. Kurodada, you can see the majestic Asama up close.
Black Spot was the old Mt. Asama, which collapsed 24,000 years ago (Tsukahara mud avalanche), filling the Karuizawa valley and creating today's Karuizawa. The deep valley of Yukawa, where Karuizawa Ohashi Bridge, which is famous as a haunted spot, spans, was also created by the erosion of this earth and sand.
There is a course to climb Mt. Asama from Mine no Chaya and a course from Komoro, but currentlya href="http://www.town.karuizawa.lg.jp/www/contents/1001000001007/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Mountain entry is restricted/a and you cannot climb to the top of the mountain.
On the other hand, if you have climbed to the top of the mountain, go in the opposite direction to Mt. Kurodamara and take the ``Yunomaru Takamine Forest Road'' (shuttle bus available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in summer) along the cliffs at an altitude of 2000 m, and go to a href="http://www .tomikan.jp/yunomaru/" class="css_btn_class" target="_blank"Ikenotaira Wetlands/aa href="http://www.yamakei-online.com/yamanavi/yama.php?yama_id =334" class="css_btn_class" target="_blank"Climbing the basket/aClimbing is also possible.
Although it is a relatively easy climb, the weather on the mountain can change in an instant. Please make sure you are properly equipped just in case.
Even if you don't climb the mountain, the view from the cafe at Takamine Kogen Hotel is wonderful if the weather is nice.
Plan 2
It's not as hard as mountain climbing, but if you're looking for a hike, go from a href="http://karuizawa-ginza.org/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kyu Karuizawa/a to a href="https: //retrip.jp/articles/53753/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"To observation deck/a a href="http://d.hatena.ne.jp/akagi39/20121106/1363585864 " target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Old Usui Pass Promenade/a is recommended.It is a relatively gentle promenade, and if the weather is good, you can expect a great view from the observation deck as the name suggests. After the rain, you can even see a sea of clouds.
If you are feeling well, you can walk up and down the promenade, but during the season a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kkbc/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class" The Red Bus/a extends to the observation deck, so you can also take the bus one way.
If you go to Kyu Karuizawa, you should also take a walk around Kyu Karuizawa.
From the viewing platform, you can continue down the Old Nakasendo Road to near Lake Usui. The difficulty level will increase.
It is possible to take a short detour and pass through Ontaki and Metaki, but you will be rowing through the bushes, so you will need to be prepared (if you plan on rowing through the bushes, there are mountain hiru on the Usui side, so don't forget to bring gloves and shorts). Zuni).
There are some people who ride MTBs down the old Nakasendo Road, but please do so so as not to disturb the general mountaineers.
a href="http://karuizawa-kankokyokai.jp/knowledge/13258/#section2" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Sengataki/a is also easy to climb physically. The water that flows down from Senga Falls becomes Mikage water (described later).
a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/hanareyama/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"remote mountain hiking/a is easier, but the view from the top is also limited by the trees. It may grow (trees grow very fast!) and it may not be very interesting.
It is easy to climb from Mine no Chaya to a href="http://rakumeizan.kitakaruizawa.net/koasama/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Koshama/a (about 2 hours round trip) is.
Both Koasama and Riyama are said to be lava domes attached to Mt. Asama.
Plan 3
In Karuizawa's elementary school, upper grades have a field trip to Mt. Sekison.It is a mountain that every local has climbed at least once.
Reference: Elementary school students in Shimonita climb Mt. Arafune.
Arafune mountain climbing is also relatively easy to get to from Karuizawa.
From Oiwake-juku, you will walk along a forest road for a while, then climb along the Nigori River. Arafune mountain climbing is also relatively easy to get to from Karuizawa.
In terms of topography, it feels like walking on top of the Oiwake pyroclastic flow, which is said to have occurred around 1160.
During the Tenmei eruption, pyroclastic flows mainly flowed to the north, forming Onioshidashi, but before that, there were also collapses to the south.
Karuizawa is located on flat land, rather than going downhill immediately after going up the Usui Pass.
This characteristic topography is said to have been formed 24,000 years ago when the mountain collapsed at the time of Mt. Kurodamara (which is said to have been higher than the current Mt. Asama), and the resulting earth and sand filled the Karuizawa valley. It is.
After that, the crater shifted slightly to the east and took on the current shape of Mt. Asama.
The origin of Karuizawa's topography was introduced on the TV program "Tamori Club" a few years ago.
Therefore, there are many places underground in the Karuizawa area that are filled with dirt and sand, and when building buildings, there are many places where piles cannot reach the hard bedrock.

Therefore, there are many places underground in the Karuizawa area that are filled with dirt and sand, and when building buildings, there are many places where piles cannot reach the hard bedrock.
Along the way, you will see b``Blood Falls''/b, b``Pond of Blood''/b, b``Source'' of the Nigori River/b, and several b``Zazen Cave''/b. b. As the name suggests, Nigorikawa is characterized by its brown and murky water. It's cloudy all year round, not just after rain.
At first glance, this color may seem like a mixture of clay or other soil, or tannin exuding from rotting leaves, but that is not the case. The source of Nigorikawa is transparent. However, it is highly acidic and will quickly oxidize the iron in the water and turn brown after a while.
You can enjoy a magnificent view of Asama from the top of the mountain, which is 1667m above sea level.
Since it is used for excursions, it is a relatively easy course, although there are some steep climbs in some parts. However, since you will be climbing, it is better to wear shoes with thick soles so that the soles of your feet will not get sore, and since the weather can change suddenly, it is safer to climb with appropriate equipment.
If you're lucky, you might encounter an antelope along the way.
Also, there is a possibility of encountering a bear, so it might be a good idea to prepare a bear bell.
If you leave early in the morning, you can stroll around Oiwake-juku after returning.
For reference, I will link the a href="http://hirasan.canada2194.com/sekisonsan.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Hira-san's High Trekking/a site. .
Beasts of Karuizawa: monkeys, bears, boars, deer, foxes, etc.
The monkeys in Karuizawa are not as ferocious as those in Nikko Irohazaka. but It is strictly prohibited to feed wild monkeys. is. The correct answer is to chase them away toward the mountain, as the "monkey chasers" commissioned by the town do, but it is dangerous if you don't get used to them, so don't approach them and ignore them.
Note: The monkey chasers carry air guns.
Many homes that are in the path of a group of monkeys are equipped with air guns.
Toy shops in Karuizawa Town have BB bullets available.

Bears also frequently appear in Karuizawa. It is said that wearing a bear bell is effective. Bears are also timid, so if they know in advance that someone is coming, they will move away from them. If you happen to come across one, if you panic and try to run away immediately, it is said that you will be chased. It is said that it is best to keep a certain distance and let the bear know that you have no intention of attacking it before backing away, but I don't know if it would be possible to do such a scary thing. Mother bears with their cubs are said to be the most dangerous. Not only tourists, What you should never do is throw away or leave uneaten lunches and other trash behind. is. Not only is it dirty, but bears come down from the mountains to the town to hunt for it. bBoars/b are also scary. If you look at it up close, it's huge. They appear not only in the mountains of Karuizawa, but also all over town. The chance of encountering a wild boar in Karuizawa is much higher than a bear. A mother wild boar with her young called uribou (usually several of them walking side by side and cute) is very dangerous. Even if you are inside your car, they may rush at you and cause damage to your car.
bDeer/bThe animals that require the most attention when driving are the deer that appear on the roads at night or early in the morning.
The number of deer has increased in Karuizawa in recent years, and they are often seen, for example, on the road from the Karuizawa Interchange over Kazumi Pass to Prince Road. You can't avoid it if you're going too fast. If you hit a deer, it will cause damage to your car because it is large. If you approach the deer soon, the deer will avoid you, but if the deer are moving in a herd, the male deer may attack to protect the herd.
In addition to deer, there are many animals that cross the roads at night in Karuizawa (including many cats), so drive slowly.
Not only will you not hurt the animals, you will also avoid accidents yourself.
Also, once a fox receives food from a tourist, it may approach the car on its own. Never feed .
Wild animals may carry unexpected diseases, so it is safer to stay away from them even if they are small. Also, avoid bringing pets near.
Important information, not just about bear sightings, can be obtained relatively quickly through Karuizawa Public Information, which is sent out by Karuizawa Town Hall. The information is sent by email from time to time, and the list is a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/koho.html" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Kouhou Karuizawa /a can also be viewed.

Bicycles (and horseback riding) are also remnants of the villa culture.
When automobiles were not yet common, guests of vacation homes were likely transported using these means of transportation. Additionally, Karuizawa was the first special district in Japan to allow two-seater bicycles.
Recently, rental bicycles include not only mama's bikes, but also electrically assisted bicycles. There are also shops that rent out stylish LOUIS GAREAU.

Above all, we recommend the Old Karuizawa Guide by a href="http://karuizawa-kankokyokai.jp/knowledge/2562/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Karuizawa Guide Association/a is. You can enjoy intellectual Karuizawa. Even if it's not Old Karuizawa, if there's something you want to know more about, it's a good idea to let us know in advance.

The Oiwake area has been left behind in terms of tourism development compared to other areas, so it doesn't suffer from bad traffic jams, and is actually an area for advanced visitors dotted with ``hideout'' shops for people who know Karuizawa well.
Since it hasn't been developed, it retains its old appearance, and it might be fun to follow the old Nakasendo route.
Stretch your legs a little bita href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?search=%E5%BE%A1%E5%BD%B1%E7%94%A8% E6%B0%B4%E8%B7%AF" target="_blank"Mikageyosui/a might also be a good idea to visit. This was created in an attempt to raise the temperature of Karuizawa's cold water by using sunlight. Water flowing down from Sengataki falls here. You can enjoy scenery that is not typical of Karuizawa. Although Mikage Yosui is located in Karuizawa, it is owned by Komoro City.
The Sasazawa irrigation canal, which intersects with the Mikage irrigation canal at Miyota, has its water source in Karuizawa, but is owned by Saku City (Iwamurata clan).

Karuizawa is battling the cold. The wisdom and effort spent on agriculture will be forgotten. The Sasazawa irrigation canal, which intersects with the Mikage irrigation canal at Miyota, has its water source in Karuizawa, but is owned by Saku City (Iwamurata clan).

When it comes to fighting the cold, larch windbreaks are a must. If you go further, a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?search=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%9C%80% E5%8F%A4%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%84" target="_blank"Japan's oldest larch forest/ a can also be viewed.

It is said that if you get tired of eating soba at various restaurants, you will end up eating soba here.
Touma is a slightly upscale soba kaiseki restaurant.
Oiwake's Sasakura is an izakaya-style restaurant that has many fans (recently, it's often fully booked).

The Karuizawa National Trust and other organizations are involved in preservation activities, and tours are held every year.
As I wrote at the end of the page, if there are places that are not open to the public, you have no choice but to ask the pension owner where they are and sightsee quietly from the outside.
Visiting people related to Karuizawa
In 2017, an initiative centered on the Karuizawa National Trust will begin to bring together people with ties to Karuizawa.The results can be found here a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?action=spot&kt=176" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class_sub"here/a will also be reflected.
a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2/main.html?action=spot&kt=51" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class_sub"List of museums and memorial halls/a
Karuizawa has a large number of famous art museums. Also, during the season, solo exhibitions and group exhibitions of various people are often held at small facilities or cafes.
You can't visit all of them in one day.
If you decide on a specific area to visit, you can also rent a bicycle.

Karuizawa is a city of art
Especially during the summer season, many small concerts are held not only at Oga Hall, but also at museums and restaurants around the city.It's really fun to be able to see the artists up close and, if you're lucky, even talk to them.
There are unexpected appearances by famous artists, and there are also concerts by people who perform as a hobby.
You can see that atmosphere in the TBS drama ``Quartet.'' It looks like a href="#quartet"a pilgrimage to visit the filming locations of the quartet/a has already begun.
Once everything settles down, I might feature it here as well.
Reference: The restaurant "Nocturne" that appears in the drama is a fictional restaurant.
The exterior uses the a href="http://www.kazenoshiwaza.com/kunseikoubou/"smoking workshop restaurant/a located on the R18 bypass, but the interior seems to have been filmed in Tokyo. .
Karuizawa is regularly used for TV coverage and filming of dramas, etc.
There are also people who came across the filming site this time as well as townspeople who appeared as extras.
For young aspiring artists, why not hold a mini concert or solo exhibition at a fashionable restaurant in Karuizawa?
Depending on your negotiation, you may be able to get permission from an unexpected restaurant.
Experience sightseeing is also popular!
In Karuizawa, there are so many experiential events that it is impossible to keep track of them all, including small events such as chopping firewood, rice planting, and driving on snow in winter. Even the townspeople can't grasp everything. a href="http://karuizawa-kankokyokai.jp/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Karuizawa Tourism Association HP/a and a href="https://www.facebook.com If you check /groups/karuizawa.events/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Karuizawa Event BOX/a, you might find some fun experience events.Below we will introduce some that are relatively easy to experience during the season.

This is how the villa tribe spends their weekends in Karuizawa. It's exactly like Karuizawa Street.
Therefore, it is important to find a pension that suits you.
It would be nice to read under the shade of a tree while listening to the chirping of wild birds.
Just looking at the scenery and idly thinking is refreshing.
That being said, "What do you do if you get a little bored?"
I'd like to do something like visiting cafes, like people who stay in vacation homes for a long time do.
It's stylish.
Karuizawa's coffee is a little expensive, but the quality is very high.
a href="http://mikado-coffee.com/" target="_blank"Mikado Coffee/a, Akaneya, and in recent years a href="http://www.maruyamacoffee. com/" target="_blank"Maruyama Coffee/a is famous and makes a great souvenir.
This company is famous for its president, Kentaro Maruyama, who travels to small farms around the world to buy coffee beans.
Even the not-famous shops in Karuizawa use Maruyama Coffee beans, so you can't underestimate them. It may be cheaper to drink at such stores than at Maruyama Coffee or directly managed stores.
There are also a wide variety of cafes. Let me introduce some of them.
a href="http://cafe-aura.com/" target="_blank""Tenku Cafe Aura"/a, located in Mikasa Park, offers a spectacular view overlooking Karuizawa. If you're lucky early in the morning after the rain, you can see Karuizawa submerged in a sea of clouds. It's only open during the season and closes early, so be sure to go early.
a href="http://www.natural-cafeina.com/" target="_blank""Cafeina"/a, a Brazilian cafe in Shinonome, focuses on breakfast. This is also where the acai craze, which is now famous nationwide, originated.
There are also many other drinks. If you ask the pension owner, he or she will probably introduce you to a special cafe.

A cafe where you can gather
There are two types of cafes in Karuizawa. One type is a cafe whose main target is tourists, but there is also a ``gathering cafe,'' which has a completely different character.
This may have originally been a cafe where vacationers gathered, but the owner's hobbies (same as a pension) naturally give it its own personality. For example, if you're looking for a cafe where car enthusiasts can gather, go to a href="http://mototeca.jp/cafe.html" target="_blank"Moto Teca/a (closed as a cafe in December 2016). a href="http://www.kawanrumor.com/" target="_blank"Kawanrumor/a, a href="http://cafegtcar.wix.com/cafegt" target="_blank" Cafe GT Karuizawa/a immediately comes to mind. There are also many other cafes where music lovers can gather. The owners of such cafes are usually talkative.
All the customers like to talk. However, this is Karuizawa, and it doesn't feel like an outsider can't get into it.
bForget the hustle and bustle of the city, take off the armor of work, return to your true self and enjoy the conversation/b.
There, you don't have to give your identity or name. This can also be said to be part of the culture of Karuizawa, a resort area.
I'm sure you'll find a cafe where you can spend your time comfortably.
Once you get used to Karuizawa, it might be a good idea to use Karuizawa as your base and travel a little further afield.
During the summer season, those who stay at a villa in Karuizawa will be traveling quite far.
Considering that you won't get caught up in traffic jams, it may be best to choose a pension that is a little further away from the center or has a bypass.
When you get tired of playing, please come back to the pension you are familiar with, just like going home.

- Kita Karuizawa Princeland Toy Kingdom You can spend a whole day with your kids.
- Kusatsu, Shirane, Manza, Lake Nozori Perhaps because of the existence of the a href="http://www.karuizawa-on.com/kusakaru/" class="css_btn_class" target="_blank"Kusagaru Railway/a, Karuizawa townspeople could not reach Kusatsu. There is a surprising sense of familiarity.
- Shibu Onsen/Jigokudani Onsen It's surprisingly close if you don't go down from Manza towards Kusatsu and just head north via Shibu Pass (closed in winter). It's far if you go via Suzaka.
- Autumn plum grove The roads are not so congested during the plum season, so it is easy to get there.
- Meganebashi/Lake Usui/Usui Pass Railway Culture Village A trolley train runs from Tetsudomura to take you to Touge no Yu.
- Kirizumi Onsen The line ``Mom, what's wrong with that hat of mine?'' became famous in Seiichi Morimura's ``Proof of Humanity.''
- Arafuneyama/Kozu Ranch/Uchiyama Ranch If you use Arafune Forest Road, it's straight away. It is also relatively close via Saku City Route 254 or Shimonita.
- Tomioka Silk Mill, Arafune Wind Cave (World Heritage Site) Arafune Wind Cave was used as a silkworm seed storage facility, taking advantage of its cool topography. It's a little far from Tomioka. It's near Kozu Farm, so it might be a good idea to go sightseeing with it.
- Miyota The neighboring town is famous for the Ryujin Festival held in July in the summer.
- Saku City Saku City is the closest city to Karuizawa, and has been rapidly developing since the Shinkansen came through. It is a town where the townspeople go shopping for small daily necessities that are not available in Karuizawa, and it is a town that the townspeople have a very close relationship with. If you go through R18, there will be traffic jams, so go through the back roads (please ask the pension owner for advice).
- Komoro/Tomi City/Ueda Beyond Miyota is Komoro, which can be reached in about 30 minutes by car. Komoro is a historic town with many tourist attractions.
- Nagano Zenkoji/Togakushi There are several ways to get there, but they are surprisingly close.
- Along the Koumi Line It's fun to drive while enjoying the scenery of the plateau.
- For Suwa/Matsumoto It is possible to move around the east side of Yatsugatake using Karuizawa as your base, but the other side of Yatsugatake is far away no matter how you go. Some roads are closed during the winter.
You can also go to Kusatsu by bus.
The hot springs in Kusatsu are strong, so the gentle hot springs in Karuizawa are hot springs.
Currently, the activity level on Mt. Shirane has increased and the emerald-colored cauldron cannot be seen.
If you go further back from Kusatsu, you can go to Lake Nozori via Hanashiki Onsen (there is also Shiriyaki Onsen if you go to the side).
Shibu Pass is the highest national highway pass in Japan, and it is closed in winter, but during Golden Week there is still snow on the ground, and although it is not as heavy as Toyama, you can pass through it as a snowy corridor.
Many people visit Meganebashi Bridge while climbing along the old road.
Mt. Arafune, which resembles the Guiana Highlands, is a relatively easy mountain to climb, contrary to its appearance, and seems to be a place for locals to go on excursions.
On a minor topic, the D51 locomotive has been preserved.
As for sightseeing, the balloon festival held on the banks of the Chikuma River during Golden Week is famous.
a href="https://www.city.saku.nagano.jp/star-dome/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Usuda Star Dome/a in Usuda, the town of stars recommendation! It can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults.
You can tour during the day, but I think it's best to take a tour in the evening.
You can actually look through the 60cm reflecting telescope. Last entry is at 21:00. It's about an hour's drive from Karuizawa.
In addition, ``Pinkoro Jizo'' and recently ``the farthest point from the coastline in Japan'' are also becoming famous. Please refer to a href="http://www.sakukankou.jp/sightseeing/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Tourist spots in Saku City/a.
Personally, I would recommend the ``360-degree panoramic view'' from the Super Aeon rooftop parking lot near the station. There are still no tall buildings in Saku, so the view of Mt. Asama and Mt. Yatsugatake is impressive (even though it's a sight that rural people are tired of seeing).
Beyond that, Unno-juku in Tomi City still has a quaint inn. In addition, a href="http://www.raidenkurumi.jp/" target="_blank" class="css_btn_class"Raiden Kuruminosato/a, a roadside station on the Asama Sun Line, is a popular destination for Karuizawa townspeople. There are also many fans. The Nozawana here is recommended.
Nozawana
Nozawana pickles from Shinshu are delicious. Many people take them as souvenirs, but eating Nozawana in Shinshu is something special.
Nozawana eaten in Shinshu has an authentic taste.
Please come and enjoy as much as you can.
Traffic jams occur in Nagano City.
Instead of heading down the R141, it's a good idea to pass through the old road in front of Yachiho Station on the way.
The TBS drama quartet is set in Karuizawa and will begin airing in January 2017, and it seems that the pilgrimage to the filming locations has already begun. A summary site can be found here.

a href="http://www.thread.ne.jp/kta2" target="_blank""Karuizawa sightseeing app"/a There was also a list that was researched using local networks, so I would like to introduce it to you. To do.

If the roads are empty, you can easily visit the area by car in one day, but we recommend staying overnight and exploring the area at your leisure.
There are some places that are not tourist spots, so if you are going on a pilgrimage, please be careful not to disturb others.
Karuizawa has some tourist spots that are not very common.
For example, everyone wants to go on a celebrity villa tour.
It used to be introduced in literature, but it is now kept secret due to the Personal Information Protection Act.
However, Mr. Hatoyama's villa is famous, and the road leading to it is named ``Hatoyama Dori''.
Recently, there is a 20,000 square meter villa that is said to have been built by the former owner of a world-famous IT company, with a total construction cost of 9 billion yen. Everyone in Karuizawa knows this.
If you are old enough to have been there, the Asama Sanso Incident will immediately come to mind when you think of Karuizawa. Nowadays, we only visit the ``foundation of public safety'', but in fact, the famous ``Asama Sanso'' has been restored and still exists in almost its original form.
*The police station at that time was located near the Shin-Karuizawa Nishi intersection, unlike its current location.
Although I won't write about it here, there are also haunted spots.
Additionally, many buildings built by famous architects remain in Karuizawa. Many of the Vories buildings are open to the public, but some are privately owned and not open to the public.
If you get to know the pension owner, you may be able to secretly share this information with them.
