how much time it is from the pond to the Onioshidashi Park ?
Can see autumn leaf in October?
Congrats on the new gig. Was pleasantly surprised/confused to see Aimee here instead of her own channel. Good job!
🙏🙏👍👍
Wow, Aimee is on this channel, I didn’t expect this would happen. I wonder if this is her permanent move from Tokyo Cheapo, or just one shot deal because she is now living in the area where Karuizawa is not too far.
As she has been, along with Roy, always one of my favorite Japan travel/hiking vloggers, I would be very happy to see her again in the near future on this channel.
Go Aimee❤
Hi Aimee!! Nice seeing you here!! 🥰
This one day tour looks awesome. We definitely have to do this one when we come back over. So beautiful.
a Question.
I want to do a reservation in Nagoya but how do i do that, do i need to call a hotel or can i do that online from out side Japan
Hi Charly
Wow , this place look amazing , must visit next time i'm near Tokyo . Thanks for Sharing .
We were here in March 2024 and stayed 5 nights. Nice quiet town and still lots to do with daytrips nearby. There is the Prince Premium Outlet, the ski centre nearby, Yuzawa (train), Kumoba pond, shirato falls, Kogen church, Kogen stone church!!, Harunire Terrace. We have seen lots of snow before, flurries as well but it was our first snowfall experience. The landscape at our hotel totally transformed in a winter wonderland.
Lovely. And going to Shirato Falls was like a winter wonderland – magical. On the bus, you depart Karuizawa station, you go through the town, then semi green and white (snow) and then just white winter wonderland as the bus goes deeper into the forest area.
Subscribed. Good to see you Aimee
You can leave your heavy bags and luggage in one of the many the lockers at the Karuizawa train station and walk up to the shopping area 😉
I wonder if the pottery shop still has his sign up telling you to "Please do not touch the children." Words to live by 💁♂
