Visit Beautiful Karuizawa, the “Hamptons” of Japan | Day Trip from Tokyo

[@spellbindingjapan]

Thanks for watching this video! Spellbinding Japan is a brand new channel, showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of Japan, in a “silent vlog” format. In order to influence the direction this channel will go in, please tell me what you like and don’t like about the content of the videos. Should I focus more on Japanese food? Should I visit certain places in Japan? Should I video staying at hotels? Should I cover travel by plane, ferry, bus, or train? Let me know, and it will have a big impact on where this new channel will go…

No this is fine. Love the video. Do you think 4~5 days in Karuizawa is too long? Should I stay in Tokyo and go to Karuizawa as a side trip? Looking for a town where I can just bum around...looks like the perfect place for what I want. What do you think?

Our family had a summer house on Kumoba pond back in the 70s. We spent 2 months every summer in Karuizawa. I've actually seen John Lennon and Yoko Ono riding around Karuizawa on a tandem bike, many times, back in the day. I never spoke to them but I know people who have and by all accounts they were very approachable, friendly and chatty. Karuizawa is like my second hometown. Other than the outlet mall and the new train station it really hasn't changed that much. You call it the Hamptons of Japan. I call it the Gatlinburg of Japan. 😂

Tech junky, what kind of camera did you use? Nice video! Also how bad is it in the Winter, maybe you haven't been there in the Winter yet. I like a combo travel and food videos. Or maybe make tow channels?
