Shinkaruizawa, Kyukaruizawa
Karuizawa’s town history starts here
When a Canadian missionary called A.C. Shaw spent a summer with his family in Karuizawa in the middle of the Meiji Period, it changed Karuizawa forever. Villas began to spring up in and amongst the green forestry of Karuizawa, rows of unique shops emerged and it soon became a beloved resort people travelled from far and wide to enjoy.
