Karuizawa Highland Church Christmas Illumination is Absolutely Stunning!

In mid-November, I stumbled upon the news that the Highland Church in Karuizawa would host a Christmas illumination event in December. It seems you need to enter a lottery to attend and select a time slot. I was lucky enough to win a spot for the evening of December 2nd at 7:30 PM. The charm of this lesser-known location is incredibly strong (unlike Yoyogi, which is always crowded, although Yoyogi's illumination is indeed larger). The Christmas atmosphere here is simply enchanting and beautiful, with a massive Christmas tree. The staff even offer free photo-taking services. Visitors can participate in church activities and take lanterns to walk around the church area, catering to everyone's desire for photos. It's a must-have romantic spot for couples (since it's also a popular wedding venue in Japan). It seems you can make reservations later, so if you're interested, keep an eye on their official website for applications. Don't miss out on this place! #Japan #Karuizawa #KaruizawaHighlandChurch #Christmas #Illumination
