Exploring the Rugged Beauty and Rich Culture of Nagano

The mountainous, landlocked prefecture of Nagano is located in the centre of Japan’s biggest island, Honshu, making it easily accessible from most of the country’s major locations. It is rich in history, local culture and natural scenic beauty.

In the summer months it is a popular getaway for folk who want to escape the sweltering heat and humidity of the city, and during the colder months it transforms into a winter wonderland, blanketed in large quantities of snow.
With an abundance of outdoor activities, wildlife, hot spring resorts, excellent local foods and culture unique to the area, Nagano has something for everyone!
