Kumobaike
Known as Swan Lake, the quiet water surface reflects the green trees, and it is beautiful all year round.

Bird's Forest
It's great for running in the summer. You can observe more than 80 kinds of birds here. Children who like animals and plants can come and visit.
White Silk Waterfall
One of the must-visit attractions, the water flow is like several white silk threads connected, and you can't help but marvel at the beauty of nature's craftsmanship after being there.
Prince Shopping Plaza
It's very close to Karuizawa Station. You can take a walk before returning. It has all kinds of outlet brands. Sisters who like shopping don't miss it.
