10 Things to do Good for Kids in Karuizawa-machi That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Misti Hsu

The waterfalls, hot springs, and mountain views in Karuizawa make this Japanese town a popular destination for nature lovers. Hike an easy route to the tumbling waters of Shiraito Falls, then head to Kumobaike pond to relax in what legend says is the footprint of a giant. When you tire of the great outdoors, the Kyukaruizawa Ginza shopping district is a wonderful place to spend some time—and some yen.

Shiraito Falls

Reviewed By dexter1881 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A short walk into the woods from the main town, and you will be greeted with the most intriguing formation of waterfall seeping out from the rocks. According to the local info, the water source had to go through the rocks for about 4 years, and then finally came out as the waterfall. There are a couple of trekking routes nearby the waterfall as well. This place is quite popular amongst the tourists.

We always walk that street up and down, because we go to Asanoya bakery to buy bread and to Kobayashi jam shop to buy the best cranberry jam in all of Japan. The street can be crowded on weekends, but is usually very quiet on weekdays.
