Karuizawa-cho is a really relaxing town, and every time I go, I want to enjoy a slow brunch. This time I went to Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura Kyu Karuizawa for lunch and a cup of coffee, which I don't miss every time. Cloudy and rainy days did not diminish the warmth of the restaurant, sitting in the wooden decorated Cafe looking out the window of the green trees is a comfortable enjoyment.

Tips:
Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura is very popular in Karuizawa-cho, and it is recommended to go early/avoid the noon hour, especially on weekends when the queues are heavy. If you have a self-drive, there is a small parking lot next door very convenient. In addition, the interior atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable, especially romantic to go on a cloudy and rainy day.
