Travel in Japan: What to do in Karuizawa

Welcome to Karuizawa! A quiet town in the Nagano prefecture with its pleasant atmosphere and local ambience that offers plenty of beautiful and scenic nature spots, along with many amazing restaurants and delicious foods to enjoy. Best of all, it’s just over an hour outside of Tokyo on the Hokuriku Shinkansen making it an ideal spot to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
After an exciting adventure and relaxing getaway in Karuizawa, here are the places I recommend visiting in this travel guide. #Karuizawa #Nagano #TravelJapan

    Despite it raining in the video, I found it to be quite relaxing to see no people outside and just let nature take care of herself. The waterfall is by far my favourite part of the video. Just something so mesmerizing about waterfalls and water features. Pair that with beautiful scenery and nature's awesome work, it's a great combo for removing yourself from the daily busy life of the everyday. Although I don't care much for the shopping or more traditionally hot spots as much as the nature spots, I do enjoy a good meal and appreciate good food. It looks like you were treated very well during your stay. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along for the fantastic experience!

    This is an interesting take on Karuizawa. I was just given a project with Rakuten Travel x Karuizawa Tourism Bureau to create one of their official guides to this area and came across your video by a quick search result. I love drawing inspiration from talented content creators like yourself to get a sense of what others have done and storyboard this concept before embarking on the shoot scheduled for June. Keep doing you! I hope you remain safe during this tough time!

    They've moved the toll booth on the road up to the Shiraito Falls closer to Ginza Street. Good short cut to miss the congestion if you're heading north. Downside is they charge you 500 yen. Jack, the Japan Alps 40 years and counting

    Annyeong, 4-5 days in Karuizawa might be a bit long if you aren't doing a cottage stay or nature excursion. I think 2 days is enough for the places in this video, the 2nd day is mostly if you want more time for shopping in the outlet. I hope this helps, thanks for watching!
