SHOZO CAFE 〜Karuizawa Common Grounds〜@Karuizawa🫖
Karuizawa Common Grounds is a complex facility in the forest that houses various restaurants!
During my trip to Karuizawa, I stopped by a cafe for a break from shopping☕️
This time, I visited SHOZO CAFE, which is integrated with a bookstore, creating a very relaxing and stylish space🌱
It's nice to be able to view the fresh greenery from the windows🌳
There are also terrace seats, allowing you to fully enjoy the charm of Karuizawa!
The free parking is also a great benefit✨

The Afternoon Tea at Hoshinoya Karuizawa is amazing!
The exclusive afternoon tea for one group per day at Hoshinoya Karuizawa is simply the best!
Starting from June 1, 2024, this afternoon tea is priced at 9,000 yen and offers a highly satisfying experience.
The portions are generous, but everything is so delicious that you can keep eating.
It includes free-flow champagne.
Make sure to enjoy it at the Tanada Lounge on a sunny day while taking in the beautiful scenery.
It might be just right to have it as a lunch.

[Hoshinoya Karuizawa] Introducing the Rice Terrace Lounge
Hoshinoya Karuizawa has guest rooms like detached houses, a hot spring and sauna with natural spring water, and a free lounge service where you can relax...
This is a hotel filled with all the things you would want to have, and I was very satisfied.
On June 1, 2024, the all-day lounge "Terrace Rice Field Lounge" will be available.
This lounge surrounds the terraced rice fields that symbolize the facility, and is a very pleasant space that is highly recommended.
It is only available to guests staying overnight.
Currently, afternoon tea is also available for one group per day.
This is highly recommended, so please enjoy it if you can make a reservation.

[Karuizawa] Japanese cuisine "Kasuke"
A Japanese restaurant inside Hoshinoya Karuizawa.
The chef recommends a colorful dinner set using carefully selected seasonal ingredients, and you can enjoy it for 21,780 yen per person.
I love Hoshino's dishes because they are particular about the tableware and appearance.
The sashimi is a mountain kaiseki, so you can enjoy plenty of fish and meat, including mountain fish and a hot pot with a cloud motif.
The clay pot rice is also recommended.
The dessert is also recommended, with a not-too-sweet cider poured over it at the end.

Karuizawa Onsen Classics
This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Hoshino Area in Karuizawa.
Various events are being held under the theme of enjoying and learning about the Karuizawa forest.
Last week, the 'Onsen Classics' event was held for two days only at Hoshino Onsen Tombo-no-Yu.
It was a wonderful event where you could relax in a footbath while enjoying onsen and music.
The music selection was themed around onsen, which was quite interesting.
After the bath, I even had a Hanamame soft serve 🤍
More events celebrating the 110th anniversary are planned to be held in the future.

[Nagano] A restaurant in Karuizawa that's also a delight for the body.
I really don't want to share this secret 🩷
Located in a corner of a flower shop in Karuizawa, RK GARDEN.
A restaurant where you can enjoy vegan cuisine using chef-selected ingredients with a focus on pesticide-free vegetables for breakfast, lunch, and dessert 🍽️

Visit Mikasa Street for Karuizawa's sweets and gourmet food
Karuizawa is also famous as a birthplace of sweets. The power of the Karuizawa brand is so great that just the name of a sweet with Karuizawa in it makes it sound delicious.
Mikasa Street in the Karuizawa area, which can be reached in a 5-10 minute walk from Karuizawa Station, is full of photogenic sweets and gourmet shops!
For sweets, we recommend Shirakaba-do's Karuizawa Tart, which is a perfect souvenir for all generations, and Coffee Kokura, whose photogenic crepes and galettes have become popular on social media.
For gourmet food, we recommend Brasserie Chouette, a French regional dish, and Castagne, a rotisserie chicken restaurant.
There are many other photogenic shops, so be sure to enjoy them while you stroll around.
