Autumn leaves season
When the leaves turn red, the artificial area opens. You can enjoy skating while admiring the autumn leaves of the maple leaves and the yellow leaves of the larch trees.
The concept is "a skating rink that feels like a forest."
The Keraike Skating Rink is formed by a frozen pond in the forest. Adjacent to Karuizawa Wild Bird Forest, the area is home to many wild birds and animals.
Explore small islands in the pond and look for fallen leaves trapped in ice. Enjoy a walk on the ice to your heart's content in the forests of Karuizawa.
Winter 2023-24 business has ended. We are scheduled to resume operations on Friday, October 2024, 10.

Usually around December, the natural ice area freezes over and the entire surface of the pond becomes a rink. Fallen leaves can be seen in the ice. Enjoy the highly transparent and smooth texture that is unique to natural ice.
A natural ice rink that was created because Karuizawa has very cold winters. It is a very rare item now.
The adjacent cafe will sell hot drinks inspired by the forest for a limited time. You can also take it out to the circular bench on the ice.
At Picchio, located in front of Kera Pond, nature tours are held where you can enjoy encounters with forest creatures. Tour contents vary depending on the season. Our staff who love nature will support you in encountering exciting flora and fauna.
