Highlights

  • Experience riding the JR Shinkansen, Japan's pride and joy, on this high-speed train! There's no need to worry about traffic jams and it's punctual, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the food and shopping in Karuizawa.


  • It's definitely a good deal! The price includes a round-trip ticket on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and a souvenir of one Sawaya jam (choose from a designated variety).


  • Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, one of the largest resort-style shopping malls in Japan, is an attractive location with approximately 240 stores scattered across a vast site of approximately 260,000 square meters, and is a 3-minute walk from the south exit of the station.


  • We also recommend a stroll around Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza, a place loved by Japanese people (20 minutes on foot from the north exit).


  • Karuizawa is also famous for its sweets! Check it out online before you go!


  • SAWAYA jams are made using only carefully selected ingredients produced in Japan, and are all processed in our own factory in Karuizawa. They are delicious jams that are very popular among Japanese people.


  • For those who want to enjoy skiing, the Karuizawa Prince Hotel Ski Resort is a 10-minute walk away. (Lifts and rentals are not included in this plan.)
