About Nagano
Nestled in the heart of Japan's Honshu Island, Nagano is a captivating blend of natural beauty, rich history, and cultural heritage. Known for hosting the 1998 Winter Olympics, this mountainous region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The city of Nagano, the capital of Nagano Prefecture, is home to the revered Zenko-ji Temple, a pilgrimage site with a history dating back over 1,400 years. The temple is renowned for its hidden Buddha statue, believed to be the first Buddhist image brought to Japan. Nagano's landscape is dominated by the Japanese Alps, offering breathtaking vistas and a plethora of activities throughout the year. In winter, the region transforms into a snowy paradise, attracting skiers and snowboarders to its world-class resorts such as Hakuba Valley and Nozawa Onsen. In contrast, the warmer months invite hikers and nature lovers to explore the lush trails of the Kamikochi Valley and the serene beauty of the Kiso Valley. Culturally, Nagano is rich with traditional festivals, such as the Onbashira Festival, held every six years, where participants ride massive logs down steep slopes. The region is also famous for its culinary delights, including soba noodles, apples, and sake. Visitors can enjoy a soak in one of the many onsens (hot springs), a perfect way to relax after a day of exploration. Nagano's unique blend of natural wonders, historical sites, and cultural experiences make it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Japan.
