Karuizawa – The Momiji and the Rain

We are a few days late in writing this, having gotten caught in the swing of Tokyo after leaving relaxing Karuizawa, but nonetheless this was a wonderful stop for our trip. Karuizawa had embraced fall more than any other area of our travels, and we loved seeing the beautiful red maple leaves (momiji)!betting strategy

It rained in various intensities for most of our stay, but we still managed a hike in the hills.

As well as multiple walking trips along beautiful moss-paved paths, to the terraced shops and delicious food near our hotel.

And where better to be in the rain than such a beautiful resort, with ponds, onsens, and stunning red trees.

Even the inside of the resort was stunning!

We had a lovely kaiseki dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, during which we tried soft shell turtle – supposedly very good for your skin and longevity.

We were tempted to go for a taste of home – Japanese style, at The Cowboy House…. but somehow managed to resist the fake horses and saloon style restaurant 😂
