| I tried to climb to Kita Karuizawa, but the toll road is closed to bikes, so I descended this very nice (gravel) rindo back to Naka Karuizawa, it came out through Hoshi no ya. |
I am reconsidering my opinion of the place.

Karuizawa is always nice without traffic. Did they turn you away at the toll booth? Did you stop to ask? I didn't know that bicycles were not allowed and have passed each time without being stopped, in both ways. Only the Romantic Road from Toge no Chaya is difficult to enter by bicycle.
Anyhow, it is ridiculous to ban bicycles just so that the cars can have a better time. They should not go fast anyhow on this road. And to prevent cyclists from seeing the nice Shiraito no Taki seems morally totally wrong.
Hi Manfred: I did stop and ask at the toll booth. And I grumbled at the answer. But the guy at the booth did answer my other questio--about the rindo, whether it was passable by bike, where it came out, etc., and I was running out of time for the toll foad, so I did not try to ignore the advice.
