    Nagano Pref. Uedashi Ninomaru 3-3 (in Ueda Castle Ruins Park)
    This is a museum that stands at the ruins of Ninomaru in Ueda castle ruins. Inside the museum visitors can see Oda Nobunaga’s leather armor and Someya Yaki pottery designated as national important cultural properties, as well as drawings of Shinano Province from the Shoho era (1644–), designated as prefectural treasures. Archives showing the history of the Ueda region since the Middle Ages, material on nature, folk material and so on are collected and displayed.

    上田で最も人気のある真田氏に関しては別館でじっくり展示されており、本館は仙石氏および松平氏の上田城城主、および近代史がメインです。上田城の櫓とセットで500円は安いですね。今年も上田の祇園祭がコロナにより中止となり、代わりに祇園祭とは何かを本館で解説していました。上田わっしょいは開催、京都の祇園祭も開催、でも上田の祇園祭は中止。解せません。

    Nagano Pref. Komoroshi Kojou 2-1-8
    Komoro Municipal Komoro Gijuku Memorial Museum was the restored and reconstructed form of the “Komoro Private School,” which was founded in 1893 by Christian minister Kumaji Kimura. It is located across from the old school grounds that were in Kaikoen Park near Komoro Station. You’ll find exhibitions featuring materials related to the educational institution, which was ahead of its time in terms of offering a modern education.

    徴古館の裏手から少し上がった所にある施設です。明治中頃に設けられた私塾です。建物前には桜の木があって、桜の花がとても美しかったです。玄関でスリッパに履き替えて入室します。壁の四隅にある展示ケースや天井近くには当時の塾の歴史や塾で使われていた教科書、手紙・写真などが数多く展示されています。二階にも同様の資料が展示されていて、明治時代の人間教育の様子が直に伝わってきます。

    Nagano Kitasaku-gun Miyotamachi Maseguchi 1901-1
    "This museum is part of the Ecole Miyota cultural complex. Its themes cover the Jomon period between 15,000 and 2,500 years ago, as well as Mt. Asama, a symbol of Nagano. There are 13 sub-themes and displays include pit dwellings and hunting tools. More than 100 of the items are National Important Cultural Properties. There are plentiful workshops that take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour making Jomon pottery, building fires, and making comma-shaped magatama beads and ""Jomon coasters."""

    This was a surprising find. The museum is located within a drab building which seems to double up as the local municipal office and the museum itself is located in an obscure corner. The area around...

The history of the Sanada family is introduced through documents and arms focused mainly on Yukitaka Sanada, Masayuki Sanada, and Yukimura Sanada, members of the 24 generals of Shingen Takeda, and Yukimura’s brother Nobuyuki Sanada, the first lord of the Matsushiro feudal domain.

At the connected Sanada-an one can try local cuisine like chestnut and sesame rice balls and Soba-Suiton (open only weekends and holidays from April 15 to the beginning of November, except in May when it is open every day).

    おはぎとすいとんをいただきました。特別味がいいとか素材がずば抜けているわけではありませんが、おばあちゃんたちの素朴な料理をいただけて満足でした。値段は安いです。

    Nagano Pref. Sakushi Usuda 3113-1
    The Usuda Star Dome lets visitors enjoy a genuine stargazing experience, with a reflecting telescope featuring a 60-centimeter aperture being the main attraction. The “eyelid dome” and “sliding roof” where the telescopes are set up are bigger than normal domes and display countless stars in the night sky between observation sessions. When the weather isn’t good for stargazing, you can enjoy a star slideshow. It’s about a 20-minute drive from the Sakuminami Interchange on the Chubu-Odan Expressway.

    運動公園を通り過ぎた山頂付近にあるこじんまりとした天文台。夏は観測会を開催しているので調べてから行くべし。駐車場脇にキャンプできるスペースもあるし周辺の森も散策にオススメ。

  • Former Nakagomi School
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Saku-shi Nakagomi 1877
    "A five-minute walk from Namezu Station and an eight-minute drive from the Saku-minami interchange. This former school building, located right next to Seichi Park, was constructed in 1875. It is the oldest extant Western-style school building in the country and has been designated an Important Cultural Property and National Historic Site as an extremely important example of historic architecture. Due to its many glass windows and the stained glass windows decorating the first and second floors, an extreme rarity at the time, it was nicknamed the ""Glass School."" A taiko drum was used in the octagonal steeple jutting out from the center of the roof to announce the time and was thus known as the taiko tower. A lovely wisteria trellis stands in front of the school."

    Nagano Pref. Kitasakugunkaruizawamachi Nagakura 202-3
    Karuizawa has become the setting of many literary works. The Literary Museum of Karuizawa, opened in 1985, is where to come to experience this rich literary world. Visitors can see inside a relocated mountain hut loved by Tatsuo Hori on the grounds. In addition, visitors can also see the stately interior of the relocated villa “Jogetsuan” from the end of the Meiji period, where Arishima Takeo died in a love suicide. It is about ten minutes by car from the Shinano Railway Nakakaruizawa Station.

    Nagano Saku-shi Nakagomi 1877-1

    1875年に完成し、国内の学校建築のうち現存する最古級の擬洋風建築物で、重要文化財に指定されています。 太鼓楼とかギヤマン楼とも呼ばれているとの事です。 駐車場は少し分かりにくくて、建物周辺をぐるっと回ってしまいました。 建物の敷地のすぐ左側の道が駐車場に入れるようになってます。隣接の公園の駐車場でもあるようです。

    一度行ってみたかった、らいてうの家。行くのが大変（最寄りの上田駅から、車で約一時間。バス無）なので、冬季閉館前にようやく行けました。らいてうさんが購入したままだった土地をご家族が上田市に寄贈し、地元の方とらいてうファンの方々皆で作り上げて運営しておられます。また春の開館に行けたらいいなあ・・・

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.
