Chinese Herald News (reporter Du Hailing) When it comes to Karuizawa, it is actually no stranger to most Chinese. It is a summer resort, a high-end resort, with beautiful landscapes and a humanistic atmosphere formed since the Meiji Restoration. In 1888, the first church was built here, and it became popular among Japanese political and business celebrities, becoming a cultural and social place for high society.

Throughout the year, there are flowers in spring, autumn leaves, winter is a snowy scene, and summer has always been the most popular season in Karuizawa. Because of its location on a plateau and not far from Tokyo, it has always been used as a summer resort. Today, Japan's Emperor Taishang and Empress Dowager met in the summer of Karuizawa.
In addition to the beautiful spring, summer, autumn and winter and the cultural environment, Karuizawa also has a very famous concert hall, the Oga Concert Hall, funded by the former honorary president of Sony, Norio Oga, whose wish is to make Karuizawa a place with melodious music in the air like Salzburg.
And this summer, Karuizawa had the first Chinese music salon, the Otomesa Salon. It was hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Choi Zongbao, who moved to Karuizawa this year, and hosts small concerts of various vocal and instrumental instruments.
Just this summer, in mid-August, dozens of Chinese people were welcomed by bus from Tokyo. Listen to the concert and share a delicious family feast at Mr. Cui's house.
Listening to pleasant music in a cool and breezy plateau and surrounded by emerald greenery is a wonderful time in life.
In addition, on September 29, baritone singer Choi Zongbao will also hold a concert commemorating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan at the Bangrigu Concert Hall in Tokyo, which has been planned for a long time, and his wish is to build a bridge of friendship with melodies. Therefore, in the performance on this day, Japanese singers sang Chinese songs, and Chinese singers sang Japanese songs, which is of great commemorative significance for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.
