- It is approximately 60-minutes by car from the Shiozawa-Ishiuchi Interchange or the Echigo-Kawaguchi Interchange. Akiyamago is the general name for a number of small villages settled by fleeing Heike soldiers around Nakatsugawa River, a tributary of the Shinano River. The valley area abundant with nature sits between Nagano and Niigata prefectures. There are many sights of note, author Suzuki Bokushi likened it to the garden of Eden it is so beautiful and said that the mountain villages would forever be etched in his memory. In early spring the wild growing dogtooth violets will drown the mountain villages in pink.

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.
