Karuizawa Momiji Festival

What happens?

During the long-running festival the town goes all out to ensure that you can feed your eyes and your soul on some of the best momiji (autumn leaves) Japan has to offer.

Getting a discount pass

By picking up a pamphlet at the tourist office in Karuizawa Station, Nakakurosawa Station, or the Karuizawa Sightseeing Hall, you open up opportunities to get discounts on local accommodation, museum admittance (Karuizawa has four art museums, the Le Vin Museum, and a toy museum), and several other local attractions.

And if you can’t get to Nagano, check out these places for your fill of fall instead.
