About
With its rugged, mountainous terrain and sweeping valleys, Nagano is perhaps best known for hosting the 1998 Winter Olympics. Indeed, Nagano City is a prime destination for winter sports, with access to top ski resorts like Hakuba Valley and Nozawa Onsen, and also offers relaxing hot springs for maximum relaxation. The prefecture is dominated by the Japanese Alps, featuring diverse hiking trails and stunning panoramic views, while the historic town of Matsumoto, nestled in the foothills, is celebrated for its famous castle. Nagano is also known for high-quality agricultural products such as crisp apples and fresh wasabi, as well as traditional crafts like handwoven Kisoji textiles and fine pottery. This combination of natural beauty, historical charm, and rich local produce makes Nagano a compelling destination for adventure and cultural exploration.
