A Day Trip to Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza ~ 7 Shops and 1 Restaurant we visited ~

In our continuous effort to search for reasons to visit the Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza shopping paradise, we found facilities and stores that our readers might like during previous visits.

In this winter, we have the change to explore the outlet again, and I would like to highlight few of the stores that seem attracting attentions from visitors.

This time, the FUN! JAPAN team members were Yurina, Jum, Rena, and me (Cheak).

① LEVI'S® Outlet: Get your jeans here, but bring your friend to help you make the decision.

We visited Levi’s as our first stop. Yes, the store is big and has all sorts of colours and designs that we could think of. If you have difficulties deciding when there are too many choices, then you need to bring a friend who can help you in the decision making.

Even one model, example the 501 Original Fit model, has more than 5 versions available sometimes.

Not to mention the discount rate which is higher than store outside this outlet. It’s worth a visit even if you not a jeans lover yet.

② NEW BALANCE: Try to ask the staffs for recommendation

New balance is actually not a rare brand. We thought that we wouldn’t get any surprise about the product lineup in the store. So, we approached the staff and asked for his recommendation.

That is how we found out this Made in US/UK corner. This product lineup is not something you can get around the corner with a good price. So, get yourself here if you want to buy something rare with a cheaper price compared to other stores.

③ CA4LA: The store has hundreds of hats, so it is a place to choose your right one.

This store has all sorts of hats. Some are cute, some are gorgeous. Some might make you look younger; some might make you look more mature.

Anyway, if you are looking for hats, all sorts of hats, then this is the shop.

④ The Cosmetics Company Store: Clinique, Estee Lauder and many other brands

As a store selling mainly cosmetics products, this store has relatively big products lineup. The store is selling cosmetics brands like AVEDA, Bobbi Brown, M.A.C, Clinique, Estee Lauder etc.

As most of the items are available for testing on the spots, all the ladies somehow keep trying on the samples non-stop.

The duration of stay in this store was a bit longer than we expected, but I am not that boring, as there are cosmetics for men for me to look at too.

⑤ INGNI: The girl’s brand that makes girls looks cute

Walking on the corridor. Yurina shouted: “INGNI! INGNI INGNI!” She was so excited looking at her favorite brand. She walked straight into the store and grab a skirt with her into the changing room.

This store has many mannequins with cute clothes on it, increasing the imagination of the girls, and the desire to try on those cute clothes.

Why don’t you come a look at what girls in Japan love to wear and give it a try too?

⑥ Discover ASICS at ASICS

After walking since morning, Jum said she was tired and can’t walk anymore. Rena suggested that Jum can get a pair of ASICS as it is one of the most often used by top runners. Japanese brand shoes, with top class quality runners’ shoes, with the reasonable price at this outlet, we will lose nothing trying on those shoes, right?

Yurina found out that ASICS is selling high heels too. Would it be among the most comfortable high heels in the market?

⑦JIRO MONDO for Winter Jackets

Although Karuizawa is in Japan just like Tokyo, Karuizawa has lower temperature compare to Tokyo. Walking on the corridors, Yurina was a bit cold and wish to get a better jacket. We entered a shop called “JIRO MONDO”. It is a store collecting mainly accessories and clothes for winter use.

⑧ Restaurant SAKUYA

Walked for the whole day, our stomach was empty. It is time to search for food. This time, Yurina and Jum suggested that you have something local. At first, we didn’t have any idea about what kind of local food we can enjoy until we found this restaurant.

This restaurant provide menu with local ingredient. They use chicken, beef, vegetables produced locally in Nagano Prefecture to make most of the dishes.
