history

During the Edo period, Karuizawa was the residence of Zhongshan Road, and the famous moraine ice cave on Zhongshan Road was on its east side. Because it takes a long time to climb the moraine ice cave, travelers often stop at Karuizawa before departure, and Karuizawa prospers. Near Mitsui Zeze (old Mitsui Zeze), there are stacks of hanging lodgings (Nakamitsui Zeze) and chasing lodgings (loyalty and loyalty), which are collectively called "shallow rooms and three lodgings", which are treasures overlooking the beautiful scenery of shallow mountains.

Xiao commemorates the churches and bronze statues of Meiji era. Although Mitsui Ze once declined due to the loss of the function of Su Chang Town, Alexander Croft Shaw, a missionary, visited in the summer of 1886 and felt that the scenery here was very Scottish, so he built a villa here in 1888, and widely publicized it to his friends, which opened the light. In the same year, Nagano section of Shin-Yue Line was opened, and Karuizawa Station was set up. 1893 after the completion of the railway crossing the moraine, it can go directly to Tokyo. Due to the convenient transportation, the beautiful Mitsui Ze soon attracted many missionaries, intellectuals and intellectuals to visit and became a famous summer resort.
