We went to a restaurant “RK GARDEN,” near Shinano Oiwake Station, where we had lunch. The restaurant is located about 30 minutes from Kyu-Karuizawa by car. It is a cafe restaurant popular with dishes that use a variety of highland vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5399\"<\/p>\n

All tables were on the terrace.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5378\"<\/p>\n

There was a flower shop named “Flower Field” in the same building as RK GARDEN.<\/p>\n

The shop not only had flowers and plants but also a lot of gardening goods.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5368\"<\/p>\n

Next, we drove to Naka-Karuizawa, and went to “Ishi no Kyokai” (Stone Church) – Kanzo Uchimura Memorial Church in the Hoshino area.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5407\"<\/p>\n

This church is made of stone and glass, and is considered to be an “organic building.” The church inherits the “non-church movement” in Japanese Christianity, advanced by Kanzo Uchimura<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We could go in front of the building, but we couldn’t enter it, because a marriage ceremony was being performed on that day.<\/p>\n

A fence made of stones.<\/p>\n

“Ishi no Kyokai” from the top of a low hill.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5426\"<\/p>\n

We took a walk from Ishi no Kyokai in the Hoshino area.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5428\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5430\"<\/p>\n

Karuizawa Kogen Kyokai (Karuizawa Kogen Church) and its rectory. A marriage ceremony was also being performed here, and we couldn’t come near to the buildings.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5433\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5434\"<\/p>\n

We took a walk again in the Hoshino area.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5441\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5440\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5443\"<\/p>\n

We reached HARUNIRE\u00a0Terrace. This is a collection of facilities including\u00a0cafes, restaurants, shops, etc.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5447\"<\/p>\n

The river flowing is “Yukawa,” and the buildings are built along the river.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5452\"<\/p>\n

The buildings are connected to each other through a wide wood deck.<\/p>\n

\"dscn5455\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5460\"<\/p>\n

\"dscn5458\"<\/p>\n

Our Karuizawa trip ended here. I\u00a0hope to go to Karuizawa when summer comes again.<\/p>\n
