Old Karuizawa Ginza streetscape

Old Karuizawa Ginza is a town where you can enjoy both a traditional tourist spot and a European atmosphere at the same time. The shopping street, which has been bustling since the Meiji era as a purveyor to people spending time in the villa area, is also crowded with many tourists. It is also the birthplace of Karuizawa gourmet, so it is fun to go on a gourmet tour to try new sweets and other treats. This shopping street is fun to enjoy all day long, as it has everything from local specialties such as Shinshu soba and pickles, which are a must-have when visiting Nagano, to fruit jams, and everything for sightseeing and souvenirs. We also recommend Tsurutontan, a rare shop in a Western-style lodge-like building. It seems to be a purveyor to celebrities, and there are also some brand select shops here. #retro #retro townscape #Karuizawa #tourist spot
