A summer retreat that is also charming in the winter
Karuizawa, known as a summer resort, offers clear blue skies throughout the winter. In the early morning, trees are adorned with glistening hoarfrost. On days when the temperature drops below 14°F, you might encounter the sparkle of diamond dust.
Immerse in the beautiful winter scenery
The starry sky of Karuizawa, surrounded by clear and dry air, shines brilliantly. Soak in the open-air bath of Hoshino Onsen Tombo-no-yu, and enjoy the perfect moment to be embraced by an unobstructed starry sky.
Bird watching is perfect in winter
The leafless winter forest provides clear visibility, making it an ideal location for birdwatching. It is recommended to explore the forest, where you can observe wild birds by following their calls and using binoculars.
The calm that snow brings
On a snowy day, Karuizawa is surrounded by silence as the snow absorbs various sounds. In Karuizawa, where the temperature is low and the air is clear, snowflakes are also spectacular. You can also enjoy finding the footprints of animals in the accumulated snow.
