Karuizawa Bear Discovery Stay
An eco-tour to learn about the coexistence of bears and humans.
Adjoining HOSHINOYA Karuizawa, this is a treasure trove of wildlife where about 80 species of birds are observed annually, and Japanese serows and Asiatic black bears also live.
Learn about the coexistence of bears and humans through the expertise of Picchio, an organization dedicated to bear conservation and management, and meet the Bear Dogs.
HOSHINOYA Karuizawa, which began 111 years ago with the passion of its founder for hot spring excavation, offers guided tours by expert staff on topics such as hydroelectric power generation and encounters with wild plants.
