Hotel Indigo Karuizawa (Kitasaku-gun, Karuizawa-machi, Nagano Prefecture), a lifestyle boutique hotel symbolized by flickering flames and villa time, will host the Golden Week limited event 'Karuizawa Sakura Time' from April 29 (Wednesday/Holiday) to May 6 (Wednesday/Holiday), 2026.

Karuizawa, where spring arrives slowly, usually sees cherry blossoms in full bloom around Golden Week. Our hotel focuses on the unique spring of Karuizawa and holds an event where you can enjoy 'another cherry blossom season.' Under the concept of 'Neighborhood Story,' which our hotel values, and with the theme 'Karuizawa Sakura Time,' we will deliver experiences that express 'Karuizawa-like spring' by combining cherry blossoms and local culture. Through cherry blossom-themed workshops, the provision of sakura-colored cookies and drinks, and ukulele performances featuring Karuizawa carving cherry blossom motifs, you can experience the unique charm of Karuizawa's spring. Enjoy Karuizawa's spring, which can be savored after the cherry blossom season in Tokyo has passed. Please enjoy 'another cherry blossom season.'
