Taking a Gingerbread Cookie (and nap!) break

我が家族の毎年のクリスマスの伝統: 軽井沢へドライブ。美味しいグルメ・レストラン、楽しいお買いもの(洋服や決まった物@アウトレット、ツリーのオーナメントや変わった物@旧軽銀座)、聖パウロ教会で少しお祈り、そして夜は心を温まるイルミネーション。このお出かけのお蔭で、すっかりクリスマスのムードになり、家族がすっかり仲良くなる。

12月は軽井沢でクリスマスのイベントは沢山あります。良い冬の思い出を作りませんか?泊りは亀清旅館の温泉でぽかぽかになり・・・ お待ちしております。

軽井沢は亀清旅館・戸倉上山田温泉から高速で約1時間。電車で戸倉駅まで45~75分。

It's becoming our family's Christmas holiday season tradition -- going on a drive to spend the day in Karuizawa. It's a chance to try out some of the resort area's gourmet restaurants, plus take care of our Christmas shopping (clothes and the regular gifts at the outlet mall, ornaments for our tree and other special gifts at the Kyu ('old) Karu Ginza shopping street). Plus we get in a little prayer time at the St. Paul's Church, and add some spark to our hearts by enjoying a few of the illumination displays. Our trip to Karuizawa never fails to put us in the Christmas mood and to give our family some quality time with each other.

Throughout December, Karuizawa holds several Christmas-related events. The information center inside the Karuizawa Station is a very good source of seasonal news. So why don't you come and make a winter memory with your family? And be sure to come to Kamesei to soak in our onsen baths afterwards.

Karuizawa is 1 hour by car using the expressway to Kamesei Ryokan and our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada. Or by train, it take from 45 minutes to 75 minutes to Togura Station.
