    Nagano Pref. Kamitakaigunobusemachi Obuse 414
    Located in Obuse Town, Kamitakai County, Nagano Prefecture, this long-established confectioner opened in 1864. They make and sell chestnut candy—a specialty of Obuse—and in the spacious interior, you’ll find rows of various sweets made using quality, domestic chestnuts. Popular options range from the standard “chestnut jelly” with its elegant sweetness to the “kurikanoko” made from only chestunt and sugar and the “hatsuguri” which won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Award. The interior also features a café space, where you enjoy sweets made with chestnut or Obuse ingredients.

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.
