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.

With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it's an excellent opportunity for travellers on a budget to experience the rich heritage of Nagano.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Nagano, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize potential savings. Additionally, you can utilise Smart Shopping, a comparison tool available via the app, to help travellers compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these updates first, allowing for a timely booking of your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Nagano hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. Should the price be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Nagano's excellent public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less populated neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often remarkable value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
