This is my 5th visit to Japan. It is also one that I had the most number of days there; and making the most number of moves around the country on its public transport. Appreciate Chai Noi for initiating the trip and making the transport arrangements such as the Flight and JR Ticket, and being the accommodating room mate. Thanks to Teck Siew for her thoughtful and thorough planning and travelling tips that allowed me to venture into new places without the need to do much pre-trip planning. Grateful to Juejing, for his patience and for being a very reliable human GPS (at times, even better than GoogleMap)! Of course, a big thank you to the great company of the Wong and Koh families, too :)

(D9) Karuizawa 轻井泽

Day 9: 11 December 2016

Kyu-Karuizawa (旧軽井沢, Kyū-Karuizawa)




A very beautiful public toilet that was very well maintained, too!





Haha... guess what the shop sells?







A very elaborated beautiful telephone booth!




Mouthless Doraemon? Take a closer look...




Very unique wheels for the bicycle!



Mr Merlion, what are you doing here?



Guess what one of the shop owners pasted outside its closed shop?
Perhaps can consider putting this up on my desk, too!


No matter how non-Japanese or how European the street look like, without fail, we can find a shrine at a corner.


Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza






Being a huge mall, one can find plenty of lockers available for shoppers to deposit their stuff. 
Note, the lockers are not free! It costs 200 yen per use.
