On our first day arriving in Japan, Tokyo Rail Days took us to this hidden gem: Karuizawa!

It took us only an hour and ten minutes to get there with Hokuriku Shinkansen "Asama".

Tokyo Rail Days' PLUS POINTS
It is COST-EFFICIENT, CONVENIENT and EASY because:
1. You're going to travel by train –a comfortable one, really!
2. All the tickets, informations and guidance is prepared by them, no need to hire a costly tour guide
3. Everything is customized to your budget and schedule
P.S. The tour and ticket prices are very low because they're special price for tourists. If Japanese themselves want to go, they cannot get this price. ^^;
