Located in the heart of central Japan, this area is often passed up by the normal hordes of tourists that flock to Kyoto. Thanks to its remoteness though, you’ll be able to experience Japan much more authentically without having to fight through the crowds – so no need for the tough elbow work!
In addition to the beautiful scenery, the city of Nagano is home to a lot of hidden gems. From the 1998 winter Olympic facilities to a Ninja village for kids, there’s something for everyone here. Within the bounds of the prefecture you’ll also find the Shiga Kogen ski resort and the famous onsen-bathing snow monkeys of Jigokudani.
Be sure to also consider visiting Matsumoto city. Matsumoto is also a great starting point for those looking to go experience the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and its massive snow walls (even in early summer)!
