If you go extremely leisurely I think you can finish all routes in 90-120min. I circled the outer rim one time and it took about 45 min. Plenty of parking outside which is free. The scenery was quite good, with volcanic rock formations and autumn colours all around 😊 I came 31st Oct 2024 which was apparently a little past peak, though, 2024 was a later year than normal for autumn colours.
Oniōshidashi Volcanic Park is an incredible place to witness the raw power of nature. We visited in the morning and was amazed by the landscape — a vast field of jagged black lava rocks formed from the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama. Walking through the trails feels like exploring another planet, with panoramic mountain views and unique rock formations at every turn. The contrast between the dark volcanic terrain and the surrounding greenery is breathtaking. There’s also a peaceful temple dedicated to the Goddness of Mercy Kannon (观音) within the park that adds a spiritual touch to the experience. It’s well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers great photo spots. A must-visit for nature lovers and geology enthusiasts alike. Do try to spot the luminous moss hidden between the rocks crevices. Suggest to apply sunscreen or sunblock especially when the weather is sunny! Entrance is ¥700 per adult and ¥500 per children. There is also a toll fee of ¥280 in and out of the vicinity.
Onioshidashi Volcanic Park is a truly unique place to visit. The entire landscape was formed by the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama, and walking through the rugged lava fields feels almost otherworldly. The pathways are well maintained and make it easy to explore the area at your own pace. There are clear viewpoints where you can see Mount Asama in the distance, quietly reminding you of the power of nature. It is both fascinating and peaceful, and definitely worth a stop if you are travelling around Karuizawa or the surrounding region. A memorable experience for both adults and children.
Very nice place with nice view and a temple. 2 hours would be more than enough for a full walk. If you are fast, 1 hour can cover most of the major routes.
A volcanic park that you shouldn’t miss! The view is absolutely stunning. A perfect spot to admire the beauty of nature with your own eyes 😂😂 The entrance fee is also very affordable
A nice scenery of volcanic rocks. It's a pity the place is covered with concrete and not much of the trail is kept natural. While I understand this makes it more accessible, it kind of killed the atmosphere for me. The buildings and facilities are also outdated, which gives it the feeling of an old theme park rather than a beautiful natural park. On top of that, half of the trails were closed because someone saw a bear a month ago. It would have been useful to know this when we entered. There's free parking, but to get here from Old Karuizawa or Kita-Karuizawa, you have to go through a paid "highway." I recommend setting your navigation for "no tolls," as we took a public road on the way back and it was a more comfortable drive. On the positive side, you can enter with a dog 🐕, and there's no additional fee for them. There's also a dog run next to the parking lot that costs about 1,000 yen (or 500 yen if you visit the park as well).
Although it was freezing and windy. We made a very nice stroll along the scenic trail. The views are amazing. We visited in November and it was autom so the changing colors of yellow, orange and red contrasting the black of the lava rocks was enchanting.
Nice to see little plants growing on the volcanic rocks. It has a scenic view. A few section were closed. My brother accidentally slipped and fell on his back as there was a frozen layer of ice on the path. The puddle of water had frozen from some maintenance / cleaning works.

We visited on a Friday so it wasn't crowded at all and we spent 5 hours here with our 4-year-old. The outdoor forest adventure area was my favourite as the weather was great and the autumn colours were beautiful. The tree houses were very cute and there was a lot to explore. There is a small river where you can do trout-fishing and have grilled fish afterwards (note that you can only catch up to 2 fish and to minimise the waiting time, the fish that you eat is not the one that you catch). The view from the giant ferris wheel was spectacular. The rides were simple but perfect for young children. Overall, we had an enjoyable time outdoors on a perfect autumn day and the free pass was well worth it (2,600yen for adults and 2,400yen for children discounted).
It’s a great place to take kids out for the entire day. Some rides could be updated, but it's a fun place to play. I recommend the adventure park located with the park. It is quite big and there is plenty of space to be wild. It's easy to lose track of time and spend a few hours at this attraction. There's forts, zip lines, places to climb and hike. Enjoy your visit!
Second times visit but this time on weekday. Stress free, less people around. Facilities seems dated but still so fun for kids. There were food trucks, which seems delicious. Less people in the afternoon.
This establishment is a suitable location for young children. My child derives great pleasure from visiting this establishment. It is advisable to utilize personal transportation when visiting this establishment. The establishment is not heavily populated, which results in a more enjoyable experience due to the absence of extensive queues.
It is a shame. The biggest attraction (kids adventure) is closed under perfect sunny weather. Staff said strong winds (no proof), and not shown in any app or sensed by anyone but herself. No refund, no notice before entry. It’s just a scam.
Excellent amusement park for kids ages 1-8. The athletics area is the best area, similar to the forest adventure for kids. If they want to go one the rides I’d recommend getting a one day pass, but if they are content to just playing with toy’s then an entrance ticket is enough
It's ok. Limited and dated rides - as long as the kids have fun.
The climbing and play area in the forest is nice and quite large. The rides are typical of small theme parks. Very short, very small and generally only good for kids under 8. Wait times were very short otherwise none of the rides would be worth anyone's time.

To whom it may concern, I would like to express how appreciated and impressed I am during my stay in your hotel. This is our 3rd visit to Japan and Pascal is the 9th hotel we have staying in Japan. We are booking to stay at your hotel for 8 days and 7 nights, today is my 5th day staying but I can’t wait to write you a review 😆 Your hotel staff and the snow sports staff are wonderful and have great service minded 💜 We would like to extend our appreciation specifically to Miss Thunchanok. Her work ethic and professionalism is outstanding especially with her quick problems solving🥰 At first, we were unsure if we made the right decision canceled another ski resort with $300 AUD cancelation fee coming to your hotel. However, with the great service from Miss Thunchanok, we are delighted to say that we made the right choice indeed. Thank you so so much 😻🥰😍 There is another staff we would like to acknowledge with her professionalism, Sharon from the snowboarding team. As a fitness instructor myself, I can assure that her instructing skills and her knowledge are very valuable to your hotel. She is not only able to demonstrate her skills, but also able to teach base on individuality of each students. My family and I are definitely coming back to learn more skills with her in the next season ❄️🗻☃️
A fantastic family-friendly ski resort in Gunma. Features the longest gondola in Kanto (3.2km) and a gentle, wide Sunrise slope perfect for beginners. The hotel offers ski-in/ski-out convenience with decent buffets. Ideal for a hassle-free snow trip with kids.
My first time ski in-out resort. I love that I can skiing all day long. Room and hotel is traditional decoration style, some light did not work out but it is not serious trouble for me. I love most is the environment around hotel. I came on high foggy days but still got my impressive in another way. It will be in my next year plan to revisit there!
This hotel is absolutely lovely. All hotel’s staffs are really helpful and try very hard to make your stay memorable. The hotel manager is professional, On the first night our room had a problem and she offered a solution to fix this problem immediately. We love the staffs here. Ski in & Ski out is another great thing, our room has a view of ski slope and looks stunning when snowing. Onsen is average but offers everything you need. Free snowboard lesson also another nice offer of this hotel if you stay more than 3 nights. Sharon, snowboard instructor is the best. She is so skilled and patience to teach you. If you had a lesson with her, you will improve quickly. However, the other snowboard instructors are not good. They don’t teach you much at all and once you start asking questions (even about snowboard’s topic) they will get annoyed and give you answers that you don’t expect to hear and make you stop asking. I hope they will improve their issue in the future. We really like this hotel and looking forward to visit here again next season.
1st time to this ski resort. All the conveniences of a free shuttle bus pick up to and fro (hotel to Karuizawa station), breakfast and dinner provided (you can choose your options), onsen facilities, free ski locker for hotel guests, ski school and ski rentals under under one roof made this place simply amazing! Nice comfortable and clean rooms and a super friendly & responsive staff headed by Thansinee. Not forgetting the great ski instructors I had. So glad I chose a different place to ski this year!
My partner and I really enjoyed our 5days stay and ski in this hotel. Room was simple(back to the 90s) but clean and quiet. We also enjoyed the hotel's indoor onsen, especially after our daily skiing. I was unwell and asked the receptionist if I could see a doctor. They were so helpful to arrange the transport and also informed the clinic of my symptoms ahead of my visit. The staff even called to check on me that evening. Really appreciate that personal touch from the team. Skiing: the slopes are beginner friendly. From someone like me who didn't know how to ski, managed to ski down the slope by day 2. The instructors were very friendly and patient. Highly recommended to take up the skiing class. It's not a luxury resort, but it was really nice and cozy. At the end of the stay, we managed to make a few friends with fellow hotel guests. Nice small community. Highly recommended.
Convenient ski resort coming from Tokyo ! Free shuttle bus from karuizawa station . Though the hotel is a bit dated, it’s still a good option where you have everything you need for a relaxed ski holiday. Lifts were not too crowded and gondolas make life easier. Sharon White the snowboard instructor, she was so patient and Taught me some grounds tricks . Can’t wait for the next season to be back .
The best part about Palcall Tsumagoi is Sharon White. She is such an inspiring, professional and effervescent snowboard instructor who knows exactly how to lift you up to the next level. She guides you to improve your technique, thereby improving your confidence and courage. She also loves to teach tricks that are not only fun: but enhances your snowboarding ability like overcoming mounts etc. This was a make or break trip for me - had I not improved I would have just faced reality and called it quits. THANK YOU SHARON❣️❣️❣️. A really nice way to end the snowboarding day is to have a drink and chillax at Glory Days bar on the 3F of the hotel. I would also like to thank Boh the receptionist who walked quite a distance to help me find my gloves (so kind of him) and also a big shout out to Ali another receptionist who patiently helped me fill in the rather confusing luggage delivery form. You guys are the best! 本当に ありがとうございました!

Built this with friends for Burning Japan..
(Translated by Google) 20240504 visits It has been temporarily closed, but I don't think it will reopen. By the way, Tsumagoi Farm is open from mid-April to mid-November (open seven days a week). This is the only drive-in on a toll road (Manza Highway), but the restroom was closed and I couldn't use it. The toll road is a mountain road that is approximately 20 km long, but there were no announcements at the toll gates, and I did not feel that consideration was given to passengers with children or women. Isn't it unfriendly to take 1,000 yen for the toll fee? The scenery from the deck was wonderful, especially since the weather was nice, but to be honest, it's not worth paying the toll road to go there. (Original) 20240504訪問 臨時休業となっていますが、とても再開するとは思えないです。 ちなみに嬬恋牧場の営業期間は4月中旬-11月中旬まで(無休営業)となっています。 此処は有料道路(万座ハイウェー)上にある唯一のドライブインですがトイレが閉鎖され使えませんでした。 有料道路は山道で約20kmありますが、料金所でもその様なアナウンスは無く、子連れ客や女性に配慮されているとはとても思えませんでした。 通行料金を1,000円も取っておいて、そういった対応は不親切ではないでしょうか? デッキからの風景は天気が良かったのもあり素晴らしいものでしたが正直、有料道路料金を払ってまで行く価値は無いです。
(Translated by Google) The high altitude allows you to stay cool even in the summer, and the views are spectacular. There is also a dog run right next to this building, so dogs can play and both humans and pets can have fun. If you're hungry, you can buy a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine inside the store and get a meal! (Original) 標高が高いので夏でも涼しく過ごせる、見晴らしも最高でした。 こちらの建物のすぐそばに、ドッグランも併設しておりますので、ワンちゃんも遊べて、人間もペットも楽しく過ごせるところです。 お腹が空けば、店内の券売機で食券を買えば食事も戴けちゃいます!
(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch. The weather was nice, so we ate at a table outside, and although it was quite hot, it was pleasant. I ordered tempura soba, and the amount of both soba and tempura was quite large. It was so delicious. Recommended. If you are seated outside, you can't hear voices through the glass door, so I was wondering if the food I ordered was ready. It was inconvenient to have to go inside to check. There weren't many customers, so it would be helpful if you could just say hello to me since I know you're outside. No animals were found. (Original) お昼を食べに寄りました。 天気が良かったので外のテーブル席でたべましたが、結構暑かったですが気持ち良かったです。 天ぷら蕎麦を頼みましたが、お蕎麦も天ぷらも結構量が多かったです。 すごく美味しかった。 おすすめします。 外の席だと、ガラス戸で声が聞こえないので、注文したものが出来たか 中まで確認しに行かなきゃいけないのが不便でした。 お客があまり居なかったので、外に居るのがわかっているのだから、ちょっと声をかけていただけると助かります。 動物は見当たらなかったです。
(Translated by Google) The toll fee is 1050 yen as it is located in the middle of a toll road. The only animal is a pony. It was cute. I think 20 minutes is enough time. It's a waste to pay tolls if you go there as a destination. I think it's a good idea to go as far as you can while you're at it. (Original) 有料道路の途中にあるから通行料1050円。動物はポニーが一頭。可愛かった。所要時間20分もいれば十分だと思う。目的地として行くのは通行料が勿体ない。途中でよる程度で行く感じがよいと思う。
(Translated by Google) Before Route 292 was closed for the winter, I came to see it on my bike and stopped by. In the end, I'm really glad I stopped by. Lunch while watching the spectacular view from the terrace seat was the best! The recommended curry was also very delicious, so I was very satisfied. My dissatisfaction with the unusually high toll was also blown away (lol) Next time I will come with my wife! The system that doesn't serve the food may be a bit disappointing as I would like to wait outside on the terrace, but I can't. (Original) 292号線が冬季閉鎖になる前にバイクで遊びにきた際に発見して寄らせてもらいました。結果としては本当に寄って良かったです。テラス席からの絶景を見ながらの昼食は最高でした!推しのカレーも非常に美味しかったので大満足です。異常に高い通行料の不満も吹き飛びました(笑)次は妻と一緒に来ます!食事を配膳してくれないシステムは外のテラスで待ってたいのにできないのでちょっと残念な点かもです。
(Translated by Google) A stylish ranch with jazz music✨ I stopped by to take a break and enjoy the view. It seems that you use a ticket vending machine for meals. However, I don't know the taste because I finished it elsewhere. The view from the promenade was nice and you could even walk in sandals. There was a pony in the shade of a tree and children were calling out to it. (Original) ジャズが流れるおしゃれな牧場✨ 休憩と眺めを楽しむために寄りました。 食事は券売機を使うようです。 が、他で済ませたので味はわかりません。 遊歩道からの眺めは良くサンダルでも歩けました。木陰にポニーがいて子供たちが声をかけていました。
(Translated by Google) Is it a place you don't want to go with your beloved wife? Free Wi-Fi is flying. This is a valuable resting place along the toll road. A pony and an off-leash pit bull?

A quirky design for a viewpoint that is pretty unique with beautiful all around views over looking the famous cabbage patches. It's supposed to also be a spot where husbands need to express their love and support for their wifes. Parking is free and you may spend up to 30mins to stroll through the viewpoint paths.
Stumbled on this viewpoint whilst driving from Nagano to Kusatsu. Beautiful view, interesting art. Give it a look if you’re in the area.
Nice spot to stop and admire the beauty of the surrounding fields and hills!
Great view on the famous Tsumagoi cabbage fields. Be sure to buy some cabbages to go!
Beautiful view. Found this viewpoint on the way to Kusatsu
Amazing place out of no where. Just driving thru and there's this amazing place.
Nice place, views of Lake Tashiro.
