Did you get to karuizawa by yourself? Or were people with you? I'm scared of traveling by myself!!

[@LifeofLucy]

The first time a bus from ISAK picked me up with others students. After that I travelled by myself! Sometimes you can find someone else going at the same time and travel together. ISAK staff will also help you plan your travel :)
