Getting there:
About 1 hr. 20 min. on a Nagano Shinkansen Asama train from Tokyo. If you go by car, take the Joshin-etsu Expressway and get off at the Usui Karuizawa Interchange. The most convenient way to tour central Karuizawa is by bicycle, and several shops near Karuizawa Station on Mikasa-dori Avenue rent them out.
