Murou Saisei Memorial Hall
Since his first visit to Karuizawa in 1920, writer Saisei Murou spent every summer here for 40-odd years, the year before his death, attracted by its charm. This villa is a Japanese-style one-story house built in 1931, and the garden was built by Saisei himself. The old house, nestled in a grove, still conveys Karuizawa, the day that literary scholars prefer.
