Kamikochi is located in the upper reaches of the Azusa River in the western part of Nagano Prefecture. It is surrounded by the Hotaka Mountain Range, Mount Yake, and the Jonen Mountain Range. It is a small basin at an altitude of about 1500 meters and belongs to the Chubu Sangaku National Park. It became known to many mountaineering enthusiasts around the world through the introduction of the 19th-century British missionary and mountaineer Walter Weston.

1st stop at Choen-ji Temple. A little temple erected in a rural village at the foot of the Yatsugatake. Choen-ji turns into a piece of art in early November. A dazzling autumn foliage corridor ushered us to the main hall, a golden path of Ginko leaves below our feet and the sky ablaze with red Momiji above our heads. 2nd stop. We had our lunch at Shirakaba Resort Ikenotaira FamilyLand. An amusement park in the highlands. Ikenotaira Familyland features many fun attractions, a large hot spring facility, a museum, and an enviable natural environment. We barely had time so we didn't try all the rides 🥺 We went to see the Peter Rabbit by cable car. Last stop. Mishakaike Pond is a scenic spot in Nagano Prefecture which is known for reflecting the seasonal natural scenery like a mirror. Depending on the time of the day it is said to look completely different. It is located deep inside the mountains of Nagano. #celebratewithtrip

Nagano is a valley city in the heart of Japan, or the Chubu Region, surrounded by nature, forests, and many tourist attractions, whether natural or historical. This time, the admin had the opportunity to return to Nagano for the second time during the (almost) slightly changing leaves season. With the cool weather of around 14 degrees and some rain, the trip was a bit lonely. Some places to go may require renting a car or traveling outside the city. But where are the places? Let's take a look. #True foreign city #Waiting for the day to travel #True Japan

Narai-juku is the longest Shukuba. It is the most important protection zone of traditional building group in Japan. Many travelers would stay overnight in Narai, so it is also hailed as "Narai of a Thousand Houses". Here people are simple and honest. Walking down the road, I would feel relaxed. If you are interested in traditional architecture, Narai-juku would be a nice choice.

Kamikochi is located on a great RuralJapan route between Matsumoto and Takayama City. If you are looking to get away from the big city and explore the road less traveled, Kamikochi and its surrounding areas have much to offer. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Tsumago-juku ia a very small town located in the Nagiso region, which preserve a lot of architecture from the edo period of Japan.

#GlobalTravel My winter trip to Japan started from Tokyo, first went to the resort town of Karuizawa, and then went deep into Nagano. After staying overnight at the less popular Chino Station, we took a bus to the foot of Kita Yatsugatake the next morning. Along the way, many climbers and ski enthusiasts brought their gear with them, which shows that this place is very popular among the Japanese. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kita Yatsugatake when you come to Kita Yatsugatake, you can take the aerial cable car. It only takes 7 minutes from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Sometimes you can also see climbers on the mountains along the way! After arriving at the mountaintop cable car station, Tsuboniwa Nature Garden is right in front of you. In the summer, you can enjoy different plants, and in the winter, of course, you come here to see the frost and snow scenery. I heard that the black tea in autumn is also spectacular. With its different beauty in every season, Kita Yatsugatake is not only a great choice for admiring the natural beauty, but also an ideal place to experience outdoor activities. We returned to Chino Station for lunch and tried the local unique horse meat for the first time. I always felt that it was an incredible dish. 📍Address: Kita Yatsugatake

🎿 Skiing in Nagano (Tsukaige Kogen mountain) offers a picturesque and exhilarating experience, especially with its renowned ski resorts like Hakuba and Nozawa Onsen. The region's powdery snow, scenic mountain views, and variety of slopes cater to both beginners and seasoned skiers alike. It's a perfect destination for enjoying winter sports in a stunning natural setting. 🧇 Nagano's crepes are a must-try treat after a day on the slopes or exploring the charming streets. I've tried the signature matcha flavour, full of cream and matcha sauce which is not too sweet as it combines the subtle bitterness of matcha with the delicate sweetness of crepes. The combination of local flavors and the cozy atmosphere of Nagano's towns make enjoying crepes a memorable part of any visit. 🍲 After a thrilling day of skiing, enjoying a Japanese sukiyaki set is a perfect way to unwind and replenish. Picture yourself in a cozy restaurant adorned with wooden accents and warm lighting, seated comfortably around a table. 🥩 The sukiyaki experience begins with thin slices of high-quality beef, usually Wagyu, delicately arranged alongside fresh vegetables such as Napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. The server brings a pot of simmering sweet and savory soy sauce-based broth to the table, where you dip the ingredients in once cooked. As the ingredients cook, the aroma fills the air, creating an inviting and comforting atmosphere. 😋 You get to pick up tender pieces of beef and vegetables with your chopsticks, savoring each bite dipped in raw egg or a tangy sauce before eating. The rich flavors and textures melt in your mouth, offering a delightful contrast to the cold outdoor experience earlier in the day. It's a meal that not only satisfies your hunger but also allows you to connect with the local food culture, reflecting the warmth and hospitality that Nagano is known for. #travelanywhere #naganoadventure #snow #crepe #ski #japantrip #japantravel

Wolong Park is located on Wolong Mountain, which resembles a flying dragon lying down. It is a famous viewing spot known for its view of the Northern Alps of Japan, also known as the Hokushin Five Peaks. At the center of the park is the expansive Longchi Pond, surrounded by over a hundred cherry trees. The main variety is the Somei Yoshino cherry, which is pure white with a hint of pink. The park's most distinctive feature is the breathtaking view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom against the backdrop of the snow-capped Hokushin Five Peaks. At the end of the blooming period, the petals cover the surface of the pond, and the ripples of cherry blossoms stirred by the breeze are one of the most beautiful sights to see in Wolong Park. Whether boating on the pond or admiring from the shore, the experience is equally moving. The park hosts the Wolong Cherry Blossom Festival to coincide with the cherry blossom season, held annually from early to mid-April. During this time, visitors can also enjoy the dreamy view of the night cherry blossoms and the brilliant red sunset slowly descending the mountains. Of course, the festival is not without its food stalls, with skewers of meatballs in one hand and Kanto-boiled skewers in the other, all against a backdrop of beautiful cherry blossoms, satisfying both the palate and the eyes. Wolong Park Address: 2-4-8 Wolong, Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture
