Old Karuizawa Ginza Street

The historic high street of Karuizawa, lined with cafés, bakeries, and small boutiques. A favorite for an afternoon stroll, an ice cream in summer, or a quiet morning coffee.

Kumoba-ike — the Swan Lake

Shiraito no Taki — Falls of White Threads

A 70-meter-wide curtain of water threading down a moss-covered cliff, fed by underground springs. Cool, even in the height of summer.
