About this place
Karuizawa is a highland resort town on a plateau below Mount Asama in Nagano, known for summer villas, the Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza shopping street and the outlet mall by the station. The mapcode on this page points at Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza, the old shopping street north of the station.
Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza is about 1.6 km north of the station, a 20-minute walk, and the streets around it are narrow and paid parking there changes price by season, so it is often easier to park once and walk. Route 18 and the roads near the station clog badly in Golden Week and the summer holidays, much of it traffic queuing for the outlet car parks.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Karuizawa?
- The mapcode is 292 676 465*82, pointing at a spot in 長野県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 36.357462, 138.634350. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
