You’ll also find a number of cafés and food courts. Most other Karuizawa attractions close around 5pm, but Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza is usually open until around 8pm, so it’s a perfect place to visit in the evening. From November to March, the mall boasts a large illumination event with about 100,000 lights. You’ll have great views from the New East Deck, where the tree-shaped illuminations are reflected on the surface of the shopping centre’s large pond.
Harunire Terrace
Description: Harunire Terrace is part of the Karuizawa Hoshino area, a cluster of hotels, shops, churches and onsen set amidst lush nature. The facilities are managed by luxury resort hotel chain Hoshinoya. Harunire Terrace is made up of 16 shops and restaurants on a large wooden deck next to the Yukawa River. The area is surrounded by many Japanese elms, (harunire in Japanese). Stop by Kokopelli to shop for jams, sauces and vegetables and be sure to pick up a smoothie or apple juice made from local produce to enjoy on a bench next to the river. You’ll also find restaurants and cafés specialising in Japanese, Italian, French and Chinese cuisine, as well as shops selling furniture and decorative items.
Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza shopping street
Description: This shopping street marks the center of the Kyu-Karuizawa area, which was originally a post town along the Nakasendo road between Kyoto and Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period (1603-1868). The Ginza shopping street runs along the old Nakasendo route and is home to a large variety of local shops. You can find souvenirs, local specialities such as fresh fruit and jam, art galleries and more. Make sure to drop by Icchodo, a furniture shop that’s famous for its beautiful sakura-shaped wood carvings. You’ll also find the main store of Boulangerie Asanoya, a Tokyo bakery that opened its Karuizawa branch way back in 1944.
Kumoba Pond
Description: The pond, nicknamed the Swan Lake, is a beautiful pond in Karuizawa. In early summer, the fresh verdure turns the waters green, making a striking contrast with the clear blue sky; in spring, you can see the charming shooting buds; and in autumn, the fall colors are reflected vividly in the waters of the pond. You can find the source of the famous water, Gozen-sui, in the woods around the pond. The pond is not only a great place for cycling; it also depicts the unique Karuizawa landscape throughout the four seasons.
Shiraito Falls
Description: The Shiraito Falls (白糸の滝, Shiraito no Taki) are located in the southwestern foothills of Mount Fuji. Ranked among the most beautiful waterfalls in Japan, the 150 meter wide cascade is fed by the volcano's spring water and flows off the edge of a 20 meter high cliff in thin white streams that resemble hanging threads of silk - hence its name. The area is at its best in summer when the waterfalls are flush with the winter snow melt from Mount Fuji and the green foliage is at its fullest. The base of the waterfall is easily accessible from the road via a walking trail in just a few minutes.
