    Nagano Pref. Shimotakaigunnozawaonsenmura Toyosato
    Located on Ogama Road, Ogama no Yu is one of the open-air baths in the Nozawa Onsen resort. These open-air baths have been protected by yunakama since the Edo period and still use 100% natural spring water. The baths are well maintained and always kept clean. This public bathhouse takes its spring water from the source in Ogama. It is said that the waters are good for people with diabetes, nerve pains, and rheumatism, etc.

    Yamanouchi cho, Shimokitai-gun, Nagano Prefecture
    This spring belches white steam along the Shiga Kusatsu Kogen route. It has been designated a Natural Monument and is often referred to as “firefly hot spring” because of the fireflies that can be observed here, making for an enchanting sight.

    志賀高原の横手山スキー場から帰る際にあったので寄ってみた。 この周辺は硫黄の温泉エリアで、ほたる温泉というのがあって、そこの源泉になっている。と言ってニュージーランド・ロトルアの大噴泉みたくなっているか？といわれれば、ただ煙（水蒸気）が出ているだけと、その手前に温泉看板があるぐらい。 特に見るモノもない。駐車スペースが２台分がなんとかあるぐらい。

    Nagano Kamiminochi-gun Shinanomachi Kashiwabara
    "A park located a three-minute drive from the Shinanomachi Interchange. Visitors will find a variety of facilities dedicated to the great Japanese poet Kobayashi Issa, including the ingeniously designed Issa Memorial Museum; the Haikaiji Temple, which was built in 1910; and stone monuments inscribed with Issa's poems. The park's rear garden, which leads to the graveyard, has a still and elegant atmosphere and is particularly beautiful in fall when the leaves change color. The park is famous for the Issa Festival held each year on May 5th on the date of Issa's birthday, and the park bustles with people of all ages during this time. In Utagaoka Park, located on the park grounds, visitors can find a monument inscribed with ""Shinano no Kuni,"" the official poem of the prefecture. In addition, the park offers fantastic, sweeping views of Nagano City."

    Nagano Iiyama-shi Minamimachi 22-17
    "This Buddhist temple's history stretches back to the Kamakura period; after repeated changes to its name, denomination, and location, it came to settle in its current location in 1604. The temple served as the model for the Rengeji Temple appearing in Toson Shimazaki's novel ""The Broken Commandment,"" and a monument on the grounds is inscribed with the book's first chapter. The temple complex was damaged during the Great Fire of Iiyama and only the original Rokkakudo hall stands today."

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

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.
