Overview

Continue to Old Karuizawa Ginza Street for local snacks, cafés, souvenirs. You can also stop by St. Paul’s Catholic Church before heading to the Hoshino Area, where you may explore Harunire Terrace, forest paths, or seasonal resort scenery.

    This private tour is suitable for couples, families, friends, and small groups who want a comfortable and flexible way to visit Karuizawa from Tokyo without arranging trains, taxis, or local transfers.
