Karuizawa is a stunning town in Nagano Prefecture, popular for both domestic and international tourists looking to venture out of the metropolitan city to relax in the verdant outdoors. Below are my Top 5 picks (in alphabetical order) from a walk-in lunch to an introduction-only dinner, scroll down for more info!
Fogliolina, Introduction-Only
Mikuriya, Traditional Japanese Breakfast
RK Garden, Vegan Cafe
VEGIBIER, Wild Game & Local Vegetable Cafe
Yukawatan, French Fusion
Fogliolina
This introduction-only Italian restaurant only serves 1 seating per day, and only presents a particular menu for a few days, after which the same recipe is never reused
Reservation via introduction-only
Mikuriya
Perfect place to experience traditional Japanese breakfast in Karuizawa, which serves locally harvested rice in a ”Kamado” (traditional Japanese stove)
Walk-in only (I would recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid a long wait - they are open from 7:15AM)
RK Cafe
An adorable vegan cafe in Karuizawa with beautiful outdoor terrace seatings, surrounded by trees and plants; during the winter months, they relocate to a warmer indoor venue just down the road!
