Blessed with a cool climate in summer, beautiful leaves in autumn and snow in winter, Karuizawa is a popular mountain resort town located around 1000 metres above sea level. Easily accessible from the capital, the town is popular with Tokyoites who head to Karuizawa to escape the summer heat or enjoy the leaves of autumn in combination with the many hotels, restaurants and extensive shopping options. From Karuizawa, visitors can take the Shinkansen bullet train or local private railways to explore Ueda, well known for its historic hot springs, legendary samurai, nostalgic townscape, and local cuisine. Local buses also run to nearby destinations such as Mount Asama and Mount Shirane in Joshinetsu National Park, or Kusatsu Onsen – one of Japan’s most famous hot spring towns.
