Located on Kyu-Karuizawa Ginza Street, Karuizawa's main street, Mikado Coffee Karuizawa Old Road is a long-established coffee shop that has been part of the history of the summer resort town of Karuizawa. Since its founding, it has been loved by many celebrities and tourists, and its mocha soft serve in particular is immensely popular as a dessert representative of Karuizawa. It offers an exquisite balance of rich coffee flavor and rich milk. Takeout is easily available from the store, making it ideal for eating on the go.

The interior of the shop has a calm, classic atmosphere, creating a relaxing space where you can unwind. Their specialty coffee is carefully hand-brewed using dark roasted beans, resulting in a rich aroma and deep flavor. There is also terrace seating on the second floor, where you can spend a blissful moment while enjoying the atmosphere of Karuizawa Old Road.

The coffee has an elegant aroma and rich flavor with an exquisite balance of acidity and bitterness, and the mocha soft serve is a fantastic combination of rich coffee cream and fluffy soft serve ice cream.

There is also a Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza store in the outlet. Tsuruya also has a Karuizawa Tsuruya store, but the stores lack atmosphere.

The main store was founded in Nihonbashi, Tokyo in 1948.
