[2025 Karuizawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kumoba Pond (Updated Mar)

At Kumoba Pond in Karuizawa Town, Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, you can enjoy the fantastic scenery of autumn leaves and rivers reflected in the water. The maple leaves dyed in fiery red sway on the water, and the colors are even more dazzling under the sunlight. Fortunately, it was a sunny day that day, and the contrast with the blue sky was even more beautiful. It only takes 30 minutes to walk around this pond, so taking a walk while looking at the red leaves overhead is a great way to relax and immerse yourself in the art of nature. By the way, from mid-October to early November when the maple leaves are at their most red, there will be many tourists and the crowds will be crowded. If you want to take pictures, you can go there in the early morning when there are fewer people. #Japan and Korea City Attractions #Japan Maple Viewing #Japan Travel Guide #Overseas Travel #Japan Attractions #Japan Free Travel #Japan Must-visit Check-in Spots #Karuizawa #Karuizawa Cloud Field Pond #Cloud Field Pond

#JapanTravel Hello, fellow travelers... My short 3-day, 2-night trip to Japan. After seeing the cherry blossoms in Kawazu and playing in the snow at Gala Yuzawa, the last day before returning, I flew at 5 pm. Where should I go? I checked the route and took the Shinkansen from Ueno to Karuizawa, which took a little over an hour. I decided to tap on my Tokyo Wide Pass and set off. When I arrived at Karuizawa Station, I walked about 1 km to Kumoba Pond, which is actually a swan pond. Along the way, I passed a small road and the vacation homes of the rich lined up along the way. I'll review it for you later. This pond isn't very wide. You can walk around it in just a short walk, but it's quite peaceful. There are some houses right next to the pond, like cabins for relaxing during winter and fall. The path around the pond has just melted snow, making it a little muddy. In some places, you can still see piles of ice. I bought a cup of coffee, carried my favorite backpack, and went for a walk like this. The air is nice and the peace and quiet is nice. If you come when the snow is fluffy or when the leaves are changing colors, you'll probably have more beautiful pictures. I recommend renting a bicycle from a shop near the train station to ride. When you get tired, stop by a cool cafe along the way. This city is perfect for cycling around. It is quiet, peaceful, and there are not many cars. The nature is beautiful.

✈️ If you can't fly, check out the view of Karuizawa ☺️!! ️ Today I want to introduce their famous cloud field pool😍 It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk from Karuizawa Station, it was very cold 🥶 4 degrees on the day we went 😩 so the walk there is extremely torturous 🤦🏻 ♀️ So I guess spring will be the most comfortable It was a bit disappointed to go to the entrance 😅 because the trees are all dry due to winter ☹️ photography is really messy! ️ But after walking for so long decided to walk around the circle first, walk in, it has a bridge ☺️ I did not expect the bridge to take pictures is so make 🙈😍 The weather is very good, so d light hit the lake and then flip d light out, just like a diamond. The photos taken with the scene are super! order! The point is my ground to take pictures 😍 even snow ☺️ Although only a little, but for me and the other half is very surprising If you don't mind the distance 🤔 it is a place worth visiting 😬 #OverseasTravel #I miss

This is my third time visiting Karuizawa. The reason for so many visits is, of course, because I love the environment and air here, especially in summer when Karuizawa is several degrees cooler than Tokyo. If you can ride a bike, it’s even more enjoyable. This time, I chose to visit in winter mainly to see the snow scenery and go skiing, which is a different experience. You can buy a Shinkansen ticket at the JR station in Tokyo, and it takes less than an hour from Ueno Station to get there. Upon arriving in Karuizawa, the first thing to do is, of course, to take a walk around Kumoba Pond and see it under the snow. Since it’s winter, we took a taxi there. Walking around the pond, it felt especially cold, possibly because of the water. After that, we went straight to Karuizawa Ginza Street, where you can shop at different stores and enjoy various foods. This time, we ate at the famous udon restaurant TsuruTonTan. Although there are branches in Tokyo, the one in Karuizawa is really large. The ceiling is two stories high, and the udon bowls are huge, with free noodle refills. With a stove by your side, it feels very warm. We even bought some fresh udon to take home. We also tried the popular apple pie, which was quite good. Karuizawa has many beautiful churches you can visit, but due to time constraints, I didn’t go this time, so I won’t introduce them here. Karuizawa has many ski resorts in winter. This time, we chose the Karuizawa Prince Hotel Ski Resort, which is just a 10-minute walk from Karuizawa Station. We booked a 6-hour private lesson (including lunch) with a female instructor from Taiwan, who communicated with us in Mandarin, which was very convenient. The restaurant next to the ski resort is also quite good. Of course, you have to go shopping at the Karuizawa outlet. They have various brands, and I recommend checking out Japanese brands like Asics, Edwin, and Under Armour, which are very cheap. Mid-range brands like Blue Label, Aigle, and Hoka are also available, along with many European luxury brands. The outlet is very large, and you could spend a whole day there. However, the biggest problem in winter is that most of the stores are outdoors, making it inconvenient to try on clothes. But the scenery is beautiful, especially at sunset, so remember to take photos if the weather is good. The night lights are also nice. When playing in Karuizawa, it’s best to drive yourself around the city. If you can’t drive, you can take a taxi or bus. This time, we didn’t stay in a hotel but chose a guesthouse. We had the best host ever, who not only helped us with our luggage but also thoughtfully provided fruits, drinks, and snacks. Since the place we stayed was a bit far, we used the Go Taxi app for transportation. This app is very convenient to use and accurate in positioning, which is helpful since Japanese drivers don’t speak much English. I recommend using it. Karuizawa can be a day trip or a two to three-day stay, making it a great city near Tokyo.

Unba Pond, also known as Swan Lake, is a super popular Karuizawa attraction. Whether it is the greenery in early summer, the red maples in autumn, the snowy scenery in winter, or the wild ducks swimming leisurely in it, everything is reflected in the pictures. In the calm cloud field pool, the picture is really beautiful. And because it’s not far from JR Karuizawa Station, you can rent a bicycle in front of the station to enjoy the picturesque scenery.

One day round trip to Karuizawa from Tokyo I departed from Shinjuku Kabukicho at 08:00 and arrived at Tokyo Station at about 8:30 to catch the 09:04 Shinkansen train. If you are not familiar with the network of Tokyo Station is need a little time to find the Hokuriku Shinkansen platform. Karuizawa is not far from Tokyo, an hour and ten minutes to reach Karuizawa. Arriving at Karuizawa Station at 10:14, seeing the passengers around me running up the elevator, I arrived at the tourist center to inquire about the ride route only to find that the Seibu sightseeing bus I was supposed to take had left at 10:17. The staff of the tourist center told me that the next train would not arrive until 11:00. I checked Google map and found that a taxi over to the Plateau Church was only JPY 3000. Due to limited time for the day trip, I immediately walked to the taxi station to take a taxi over. The drive only takes about 10 minutes, and as soon as you get off the car, you are surrounded by a patch of green, and every breath of air is sweet and very fresh. The Plateau Church is like a cottage in a fairy tale. According to online information, in the 10th year of Taisho, the Karuizawa Plateau Church was born in Karuizawa, a place full of Christian culture. Photography is not allowed inside the Plateau Church, so I walked inside and took a look or two before walking to another attraction, the Church of Stone. Designed by American architect Kendrick Kellogg, the church is infused with five natural elements of “stone, light, water, green and trees”. After the visit, we went to Maruyama Coffee in the town of Elm Street, a ten-minute walk away, for refreshments and coffee. I went to Karuizawa without doing research, so I misunderstood the large, very large Maruyama as Maruyama main store. I agreed on the bus schedule and arrived at the bus stop early to take the bus to the next stop, Yunba Pond. It only takes six minutes to get to Yunchang Pond from the bus station, and there are forested avenues along the way. Yunchang Pool is actually an artificial lake, the area is actually not large this day, the scenery of Yunchang Pool is very beautiful because I know the bus schedule, I have only 45 minutes of actual time to tour here, I walked around the lake for a short distance. I took the bus back to Karuizawa terminal and started shopping at the outlet. This outlet is very large and although it is next to the station, it also takes 7-8 minutes to walk from one end of the outlet to the station, so be sure to leave early. It was really tiring after a whole day of strolling around, but fortunately the Shinkansen train was very comfortable and I was able to take advantage of the hour-plus drive back to Tokyo to rest. A very fulfilling day!

One of the three famous attractions in Karuizawa is Yunba Pond, which I walked directly from the hotel on my first afternoon! Along the way are tall and dense fir trees, like walking into a forest, and there are some dwellings and cafe shops, which is very relaxing. The advantage of going in summer is cooler than other Japanese cities, is a good place to escape the summer 🥰 This lake is like a mirror, the view is perfectly reflected on the lake, on the Internet to see around the cloud field pool walk around takes about 20-25 minutes, but because It was darker when we arrived, so we visited here, took some photos and left. So it is recommended to arrange to go in the morning, I believe if the weather, or autumn with the autumn leaves will be more beautiful! #globaltravel #Karuizawa #trip #Japan

#NaganoTourism Kumobaike is an artificial lake in Karuizawa Town, Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It was built in 1893 and is known as a tourist attraction in Karuizawa.

There are also walking paths along the lakeside, where you can enjoy leisure activities such as strolling and picnicking. Kumobaike is a quiet and healing place for people who want to refresh themselves in the nature of Karuizawa.

#NaganoTourism Kumobaike is a beautiful alpine lake located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. It is located at an altitude of about 1,900 meters and is surrounded by beautiful nature. The name Kumobaike comes from the beauty of the clouds reflected on the lake surface. Especially in summer, the lush forest and clear lake water attract visitors, and it is a popular place to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and picnics. In addition, beautiful alpine plants bloom around Kumobaike, making it an attractive spot for climbers and nature lovers. During the autumn foliage season, the trees along the lakeside change color, creating a beautiful view. In winter, it is covered in snow, and the snowy mountains and frozen lake surface create a tranquil beauty. Kumobaike is a treasure trove of nature where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every season, and it is a place that heals the soul of those who visit.

It looks fine to the naked eye, but the photos taken with a mobile phone suddenly look several times more beautiful. The weather is good and the reflections are very beautiful. It rained when I went to Karuizawa last summer. So I came again in winter. As expected, I saw the beautiful Kumoba Pond. I highly recommend going to Karuizawa. Rent an electric bike in the morning (you must rent it, otherwise it will take a long time to walk). After seeing the Kumoba Pond and strolling the shopping street, you can go to outlet shopping in the afternoon.

Karuizawa, a Japanese resort, is a must-see for viewing maple leaves at Kumoba Pond I wanted to make good use of the Tohoku JR Pass for the last leg of my trip, so I came to the Japanese resort town of Karuizawa. I've been here once before and just went shopping at Prince Shopping Center. This time I decided to rent a bicycle and travel around Karuizawa. You can rent electric bikes at White Cat Bike at JR Karuizawa Station. This is the cheapest one, so don't go wrong. The first stop is Kumoba Pond, a popular attraction in Karuizawa. You can enjoy the red maple leaves in autumn. The calm lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, the red and green maple trees, and the wild ducks swimming in it. The scene is truly breathtaking. And it’s not far from here. You can enjoy this picturesque scenery in about ten minutes. Walking around Yunchang Pond, you can appreciate it from different angles, especially the red leaves from a close distance. The extreme red color is fascinating. Finally, we went to Kyu-Karuizawa for dinner and shopping. I want to go to Italy in 2024🇮🇹! #2024travelwishlist #overseastravel #Japantravel #Japanattractions #Japanmust-visitcheck-inpoints #JapanKaruizawa #KaruizawaCloudPond #Karuizawa #JapanFreeTravel
