The parking lot is scheduled to be demolished in October 2023 in conjunction with the flattening project of the “Old Karuizawa Town Parking Lot.” Since the parking lot will not be available during the construction period, parking may not be available in the surrounding area due to a decrease in the number of available parking spaces. There is also no dedicated parking near Kumobaike Pond. Please use public transportation when visiting Karuizawa, and walk, ride a bicycle, or take a shuttle bus to get around the town.
