Togakushi

Togakushi delivers a spiritual journey through ancient cedar forests where five sacred shrines have stood for 2,000 years. Hike misty mountain trails to discover vermillion torii gates and temple bells echoing through the trees. The Ninja Museum adds a dash of warrior history while traditional soba shops serve hand-cut noodles made from local buckwheat. Mountain lodges and ryokan inns offer tatami rooms and communal baths after a day of exploration. A hire car works best for navigating the area since buses from Nagano Station run limited schedules. Most shops and restaurants close early, creating peaceful evenings perfect for stargazing in the clear mountain air.

Matsushiro

Matsushiro lets history buffs step back in time to Japan's feudal era without the usual tourist crowds. Samurai residences with dark wooden facades and clay-roofed structures line quiet streets, while Matsushiro Castle ruins provide perfect cherry blossom viewing. Museums housed in Edo-period buildings showcase ancient armour, scrolls, and local artefacts that tell Nagano's storied past. Traditional restaurants serve regional specialities like mountain-fresh soba noodles, though most close early evening. Getting around requires a car or taxi from Nagano Station, but narrow streets make exploring the historical sites on foot a pleasure. Ryokans and minshuku guesthouses offer authentic overnight experiences with tatami rooms and peaceful garden views.

Kurita

Lake Nojiri's pristine waters reflect snow-capped Northern Japanese Alps in Kurita, a haven for hot spring lovers. Traditional ryokans with steaming outdoor onsen baths dot the shoreline, inviting you to soak your cares away. Hiking trails wind through alpine forests, leading to breathtaking mountain vistas that change with each season. Traditional kaiseki restaurants in ryokans serve seasonal mountain vegetables and fresh lake fish. Most accommodation include meals, featuring local soba noodles and mountain herbs. With limited public transit, a hire car is your best bet for exploring this peaceful countryside retreat.

Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize potential savings.
