Karuizawa is a region in Nagano prefecture. It is a famous summer resort in Japan.
The place was a 'Shukuba' town of 'Nakasendou', a post station on the trade route in Edo era. However, the history of Karuizawa as a summer resort was since 1888 when Alexander Croft Shaw, a Scottish missionary built his villa in here. Spending summer in Karuizawa became popular for foreign people lived in Japan after 1893.
The economic growth of Japan after 1960s and the short distance between Karuizawa and Tokyo made it to be a popular choice to spend summer for ordinary Japanese people. A tennis court in Karuizawa was the place where the emperor first met his queen Michiko in 1953. It is also known that John Lennon spent summer with his family in this place since 1970s.

It's a domestic conference of image processing and computer vision, held in prince hotel Karuizawa. I had an oral speech and 3 hours interactive session on the first day, so i could relax for the rest of the conference. We tried to make time for a short climb, but finaly the hard schedule forced us to sleep as much as we could.

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.
