Kitakaruiza sits at an elevation of 1,200 meters, giving it a famously breezy and pleasant climate throughout summer. A popular escape from Tokyo’s oppressive summer heat, the area is packed with outdoor activities and nature attractions, including hikes around Mt. Asama, geological parks, golf courses and driving ranges, farms and produce sellers, nice restaurants and cafes, and — of course — onsen hot springs.
Compared to historic Karuizawa, which is much more developed and resort-like today, Kitakaruizawa has a very low-key sense of idyllic charm.
But there are many famous onsen and vacation destinations nearby, including:
Central Karuizawa: 30 minutes by car
Harunire Terrace: 20 minutes
Tsumagoi: 15 minutes
Kusatsu Onsen: 30 minutes
Manza Onsen: 50 minutes
Azuma Valley: 30 minutes
Karuizawa Forest Cabin's immediate surroundings were once a popular holiday home area for Japan’s great mid-century artists, novelists, scholars, filmmakers and poets. There are many pleasant walks and bike rides to be found along the roads and trails just outside the house. Please just be aware that the area is famous for its tranquil, contemplative ambiance— try to be respectful of everyone’s cherished peace and quiet. This is a place for creativity, romance or happy family time. No party people please.
After completing Karuizawa Forest Cabin in 1968, Tatehata-san designed two neighboring homes for friends – one a famous author, the other a film actor. Those homes were built with a similar rustic but clean aesthetic, creating a sense of visual harmony among neighbors.
