NONE Cafe Karuizawa

A small cafe in Karuizawa town, in the eastern part of Nagano Prefecture.

Karuizawa

Karuizawa flourished as a post town on the Nakasendo highway in ancient times, and became a summer resort for foreigners in the Meiji era (1868-1912). It has a unique atmosphere with its beautiful churches in the forest that still remain intact and the museums with a lot of individuality. In addition to relaxing in one of Japan's top mountain resorts, there is plenty to do all year round, from golf and cycling in the summer to skiing and hot springs in the winter.
