Autumn Cycling Adventure in Karuizawa: A Maple Viewing Trip at Kumoba Pond

This time in Karuizawa, I rented a bicycle to explore the area. Riding along the tree-lined avenues, the air was fresh, and the surroundings were peaceful and leisurely. The relatively flat roads of Karuizawa make it perfect for a slow-paced cycling exploration. Along the way, I arrived at the famous Kumoba Pond, which was in the midst of the maple leaves turning red. The pond reflected layers of crimson leaves, blue skies, and white clouds, creating a poetic and picturesque scene that took my breath away. The area around Kumoba Pond is tranquil, with crystal-clear waters and a blend of red maples and lush greenery, evoking the romantic essence of autumn. Cycling itself was a delightful experience, allowing me to freely stop and admire the scenery from different angles. This cycling trip in Karuizawa not only provided physical exercise but also offered complete relaxation for the soul, leaving behind unforgettable travel memories.
