Tickets
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.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.- 310 m from Karuizawa Station Hokuriku Shinkansen
