Karuizawa (軽井沢) is an upmarket mountain resort in Nagano Prefecture. It's one of the most popular resort places in Japan, so much that the Japanese emperor and his family go there yearly. There are various of outdoor activities like golf, hiking, tennis, skiing and ice skating, and of course lots of opportunities to shop! Karuizawa is most beautiful in the fall when the leaves are changing, but it's really popular all year long. We went when the leaves were still changing, making it a beautiful experience!!! We wanted to get some shopping done, and heard that Karuizawa's shopping outlet was really famous for being a huge outlet that's surrounded by Nagano's beautiful mountains and trees. So we went to check it out~★
Karuizawa is also easily accessible by the Seibu bus
