View the charming triangular-roofed church from the forest path and enjoy a quiet moment
About this spot
A wooden church nestled in the forest of Naka-Karuizawa, distinguished by its striking large triangular roof. Carrying on a legacy of gatherings by many cultural figures, it continues to be beloved as a 'church in the forest.' Walking the tree-lined approach to the moment the church appears is a breathtaking sight that will make you want to pause. If the interior is open, you can spend quiet time together in the warm, wooden sanctuary.

The church is within walking distance via forest paths from Harunire Terrace. Services or ceremonies may restrict access, so follow the guidance signs at the entrance. Inside, please maintain a quiet and respectful atmosphere. Admission is free.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes. Afternoon light is soft and gentle, and the forest green appears deeper.
