This time, I went to see the autumn leaves at Karasawa Cirque in Nagano Prefecture! 😊

If you've only seen Karasawa Cirque in photos, you probably have a lot of questions: What's the area around Karasawa Cirque actually like? What are the trails and routes like? How do I get there?

Last year, I also went to Karasawa Cirque for the first time, and I'd heard a lot of information beforehand that it gets incredibly crowded during the autumn foliage season.

I remember feeling anxious and staying up all night and heading to the Sawando parking lot! 🤣 lol

I hope this video will ease some of the anxiety of those visiting Karasawa Cirque for the first time.

Also, for those who haven't made plans to go yet, or even for those who frequent Karasawa Cirque, I've made it so you can get a feel for the atmosphere of Karasawa Cirque this year, so I'd be very grateful if you could watch it all the way to the end!! ☺️

If you have any questions about Karasawa Cirque or anything else, please feel free to contact me in the comments or on social media.
