The Experience
Togakushi Shrine Located at the foot of the sacred Mount Togakushi, Togakushi Shrine consists of five shrines—Okusha, Kuzuryu-sha, Nakasha, Hokosha, and Hinomiko-sha—and boasts a history spanning over 2,000 years since its founding. The approach leading from the entrance to Okusha, passing through the Zuishin Gate and lined with cedar trees over 400 years old, is a place everyone should experience at least once. We often hear from visitors that it leaves them feeling refreshed and invigorated. Of the five shrines, we will visit the Main Shrine, Okusha Good Fortune and Fulfillment of Wishes, Kuzuryu Shrine Matchmaking, and Nakasha Academic Success and Household Safety. The walk from the entrance to the Okusha approach (cedar-lined path) to Okusha takes about 40–50 minutes one way.

Ryuo Ropeway ★Let’s head to the Kitashiga Highlands and take the Ryuo Ropeway to see the breathtaking sea of clouds! At the 1,770-meter-high summit, “SORA Terrace” has a 60.2% chance of seeing a sea of clouds (). When weather conditions align, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking view of a sea of clouds that looks like a carpet! Even if the weather is bad at the base, it might be sunny at the summit—or the clouds might clear in an instant, transforming into a sea of clouds. Enjoy scenery that never gets old! ♪ On days with surprisingly clear skies, you can take in a panoramic view of the majestic Northern Alps and the townscape at their base. 2025 Sea of Clouds Occurrence Rate (according to Ryuo Mountain Park)
★Newly Opened! A 14-meter-high spiral staircase observation deck. With every step you take up the stairs, your sense of adventure is sparked as you get closer to the sky. From the summit, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of the sea of clouds and the Northern Alps stretching out before you. You can also take commemorative photos using a dedicated camera (for a fee).
Naena Falls ★Naena Falls, selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls, has a drop of 55 meters! The sight of the water cascading down, sending up a spray of mist, is truly spectacular. ★It’s fun to shop and sample street food! Take a stroll down Old Karuizawa Ginza, the main street of Karuizawa with its retro atmosphere!
