- Nagano Ueda-shi Bessho Onsen 1656 Facing North Kannon
- "A large katsura tree designated a Natural Monument by Nagano Prefecture located on the grounds of the Kitamuki Kannon Temple in Bessho Onsen. The sacred 1,200 year old tree is said to have been inhabited by Kannon, who emerged suddenly from a fire pit at the Joraku-ji Temple. The tree's name is derived from the Aizendo hall on the opposite side of the road, and from Matsutaro Kawaguchi's novel ""Aizen Katsura,"" which won the first Naoki Prize. Because of its association with the novel, in recent years it has come to be seen as a symbol of luck in love and is visited by large numbers of tourists each year."

- Ohine Plateau, Ikeda-cho, Kitaazumi-gun, Nagano Prefecture
- Reaching for the sky in the Omine Highlands are these large maple trees of around 250 years old. The area became known as the “7-Colored Giant Maple” due to the way in which the colors of the trees changed through seven different hues over a month or so starting from the beginning of October each year. The place is the setting for the TV drama series, Ohisama, and attracts many visitors.

Nagano Areas
Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
