The Hoshino Resort in Karuizawa hosts an event every year from early October to early November, where visitors can enjoy the moments of autumn leaves, books, and coffee. The event takes place in front of the "Hoshino Onsen Dragonfly Hot Spring" plaza, surrounded by red autumn leaves and golden larch trees. Bookshelves are arranged along the gentle slopes of the hills, displaying 500 books that can be freely browsed. A 10-meter-long bookshelf also serves as a bench, allowing guests to leisurely immerse themselves in the world of books within the space enveloped by autumn foliage. The books on the shelves are themed around autumn, such as "Autumn of Art," "Autumn of Appetite," and "Autumn of 〇〇." While experiencing the autumn of Karuizawa, visitors can enjoy encounters with books. The books available on-site are second-hand books collected and provided with the assistance of "VALUE BOOKS" (located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture), which operates an online second-hand bookstore. During the event, a mobile bookstore will also appear, along with various related activities such as storytelling sessions. Additionally, there is a reading space close to the trees, offering limited-time drinks and desserts to enjoy while reading. In the beautiful natural environment of crisp autumn air, visitors can fully experience the refreshing atmosphere of fall and spend a nourishing moment for the soul.
