This was my first time here, and it completely changed how I imagined an outlet mall could be. I never knew a shopping center could be so beautiful! The expansive lawns, ponds, and lush greenery make it feel less like a typical shopping mall and more like a relaxing park. It also attracts many local residents who come to walk their pets.
The grounds are quite spacious and blend beautifully with Karuizawa's natural scenery, making it very pleasant to stroll around. The complex is divided into different areas with many well-known international and Japanese brands, offering a wide selection of clothing, shoes, bags, household goods, and outdoor gear.
Besides shopping, there are also plenty of restaurants, cafes, and food courts where you can sit down, rest, and enjoy some food when you're tired from browsing. There are also souvenir shops where you can buy some local Karuizawa specialties to take home.
This mall is huge! There are mountains, grassy areas, and even a lake. It honestly feels like you're shopping inside a forest.
It feels like a lot of the shoppers here are people who own villas in the area and come to Karuizawa for vacation.
If you stay at the Prince Resort Hotel, you can go skiing in winter and enjoy shopping at the mall during your free time.
The weather here is cool and comfortable, and the shopping center is huge—it's like a whole city.
