Hidden Scenic Spot in Nagano: Utsukushigahara Highland

Utsukushigahara Highland is a plateau located in the northwestern part of Yatsugatake Chushin Kogen Quasi-National Park, spanning Matsumoto City, Ueda City, and Nagawa Town in Nagano Prefecture. It is also one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. The expansive grasslands feature a ranch and the popular photo spot, Utsukushi-no-Tou (Tower of Beauty). Early mornings are particularly magical, with mist creating a dreamy atmosphere. It’s about a one-hour drive from downtown Matsumoto. If you’re visiting Matsumoto, this is a must-see destination worth extending your trip for. 📍Utsukushigahara Highland Free Parking Address: 2085-70 Takeishi Kamihoniri, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture Hours: Open 24 hours (Overnight stays in your car are possible. Staying overnight is recommended for those who want to catch the sunrise.)
