Karuizawa distillery (軽井沢蒸溜所, Karuizawa jōryūsho) was a Japanese whisky distillery. It was located at Miyota, a town on the southern slopes of an active complex volcano, Mount Asama, in Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.[1][2]

Established in 1955, the distillery began production in 1956.[3] It was owned by Mercian Corporation,[1] and was the smallest in Japan.[3] It was mothballed in 2000, and closed in 2011; the land on which it had stood was sold in 2012.[3]
