🎎 Karuizawa Umbrella Festival

The Hoshino Resort in Karuizawa holds an annual event during the rainy season. The streets of Yuzuki Street Town, which gathers 16 shops and restaurants, are adorned with over a hundred colorful umbrellas in red, blue, green, and more. Even when it rains, when people look up at the beautiful early summer sky of Karuizawa, they can feel a sense of relief and joy. It is a wonderful event that allows people to maintain a pleasant mood even on dreary rainy days. The event is free to visit from 8 AM to 10 PM. On sunny days, sunlight filters through the translucent umbrella canopies, casting shadows on the wooden deck below; on rainy days, the wet wooden deck reflects the umbrellas and trees like a mirror. The scenery changes with the weather, offering beauty whether it is sunny or rainy. From 6 PM to 10 PM, after the lights are turned on in the resort, it transforms into a dreamlike scene. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the sights or relax at the restaurant's terrace seats, savoring their meals while immersing themselves in this special atmosphere.
