We are pleased to announce the release of the magazine “KURA Karuizawa 2025–2026” (a well-respected cultural magazine, available only in the original Japanese.).
This issue marks the first edition of the “Nagano Prefecture 77 Municipalities Guide” series, featuring Karuizawa and highlighting many of the area’s most talked-about spots.
Karuizawa is widely known as a highland resort destination that attracts visitors from both Japan and overseas.
The magazine introduces a wide variety of places across different categories, including newly opened restaurants, well-known establishments, and hidden gems for dining such as cafés, sweets shops, Italian and French restaurants, and traditional Japanese cuisine.
In addition, the guide features museums, sightseeing spots, leisure activities, and shopping destinations throughout the Karuizawa area.
While Karuizawa is especially popular as a summer retreat, this guidebook showcases attractions that can be enjoyed throughout the year, making it a useful companion for all seasons.
The magazine is available for purchase at bookstores and through our online shop.
