In this program, children of elementary school age or younger can experience about 10 types of activities (※varies depending on the season) for free for three days, the day before, the day of, and the day after the wedding. In addition to the parents attending the wedding, parents and children who accompany the wedding but do not attend the wedding can also spend a quality time with their family through the nature experience unique to Karuizawa.

Karuizawa Prince Hotel Forestana Karuizawa welcomes children as important guests and is starting this program to create opportunities for guests of child-rearing age to enjoy Karuizawa with their families more freely, including attending weddings. In addition to supporting guests who are raising children to attend weddings, we aim to provide time for children and accompanying guardians who are not attending the wedding to enjoy themselves, thereby improving both guest satisfaction and the wedding satisfaction of the bride and groom. Outline of “Activity Kids Free Program” • Target: Children of elementary school age or younger whose guardians will be attending a wedding at our facility • Applicable days: 3 days from the day before to the day of the wedding • Price: Free for children of elementary school age or younger (various discount rates available for accompanying guardians) • How to use: Present your wedding invitation or equivalent to the facility at the reception desk of the applicable activity and receive a free children’s passport. Multiple children can use the service with one guardian. • Target activities: Zip line adventure, sky lift, mountain buggy, tree trekking, net adventure, etc. • Location: “Nature Land Karupuri Forest” and other hotel designated activity areas Usage image (Example) Parent 1 attends a wedding for 2 days and 1 night, while child and parent 2 enjoy activities Guardian 1.

After breakfast at the hotel, use this program to enjoy activities with the whole family and return home. How to use 1. Present a wedding invitation or equivalent (including the wedding date and the names of both families) at the reception of the applicable activity. 2. Receive your child’s free passport and enjoy each activity. *The child’s free passport is valid until the day before, the day of, and the day after the wedding ceremony. The reason why I started this program now As nuclear families become more common and it becomes more difficult to leave children in childcare, we believe that increasing the options for attending weddings is of great social significance. This “Activity Kids Free Program” will provide new leisure time for guests of child-rearing age, and will also leave children with memories of “fun Karuizawa.” We will propose a resort wedding where everyone can participate, allowing parents to reunite with friends they haven’t seen in a long time and enjoy the afterglow of the wedding. Objectives of the Program This program aims to improve the essential satisfaction of weddings by providing the following three values: 1. “Enjoy the afterglow”…By providing a safe and fun environment for children, parents attending the wedding can feel at ease and reunite with precious friends, and savor the afterglow of the wedding for a deeper and longer time. 2. “Proposing a new kind of resort wedding”…We propose a new type of resort wedding where the charm of Karuizawa’s nature and leisure activities can be experienced not only by the wedding ceremony but also by the whole family. 3. “Strengths of the Hotel Group”…By working together with Prince Grand Resort Karuizawa, which has accommodation and leisure facilities, even family members who do not attend the wedding can have a special experience of enjoying Karuizawa through activities. About “Karuizawa Prince Hotel Forestana Karuizawa” This wedding venue is located in the Prince Grand Resort Karuizawa, which spreads out in front of Karuizawa Station. In addition to the two chapels, garden wedding venue, and four reception halls with private gardens, the hotel also produces Shinto wedding ceremonies and large-scale wedding parties in the banquet hall. The Prince Grand Resort Karuizawa area is home to Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, golf courses, hot springs, and other activities that allow guests to enjoy their stay in Karuizawa, making it an attractive place to enjoy your wedding and your trip to Karuizawa before and after the wedding.
