Getting There

Nagano Prefecture is best visited as part of a tailor-made multi-centre tour of Japan, combining it with Tokyo and Kyoto.

London Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda International Airport and Narita International Airport with British Airways and Japan Air. 11 hours, 45 minutes from London Heathrow to Tokyo. Nagano Station can be reached by bullet train in around 1 hour, 30 minutes from Tokyo or around 3 hours by road
 

Nagano City

The capital of Nagano Prefecture, Nagano City evolved as a temple town around striking Zenkoji, one of the county’s most popular temples and an important centre for Buddhism in Japan. It houses the first Buddhist statue to come to Japan, attracting millions of pilgrims and tourists annually. The area around the architectural masterpiece is filled with artisanal shops and traditional eateries, offering an authentic Japanese experience. North of the city centre, discover Togakushi, a forested mountain area, home to impressive shrines and the famed Ninja school and museum.

Nagano City
Yudanaka Onsen

Still maintaining the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese hot spring resort, Yudanaka Onsen dates back centuries. Hot spring onsens remain an important part of the area’s culture, with a wealth of bath houses to choose from. The charming resort is characterised by cobbled streets, authentic ryokans and gourmet eateries serving exceptional Japanese banquets.

Yudanaka Onsen
Jigokudani Monkey Park

Yudanaka is perhaps most renowned for its proximity to the fantastic Jigokudani Monkey Park, a volcanic area home to Japan’s famous snow monkeys (or Japanese macaques) who bathe in the park's natural hot springs. The park is accessed by a scenic and easy 30-minute stroll from the car park. Please note that even though these social monkeys are accustomed to humans, they are still wild and uncontained. As such, it cannot always be guaranteed that they will be at the hot springs.

Jigokudani Monkey Park
Mountain Adventures

Often dubbed the ‘Roof of Japan’, the Nagano region is home to Japan’s Northern and Central Alps (and part of the Southern Alps), attracting skiers, mountaineers and adventurers. Matsumoto is a hillside city cited as the ‘Gateway to the Alps’, overlooked by striking mountains that offer exceptional skiing in a range of resorts. Of course, skiing isn’t the only way to spend a day in the mountains. Other winter activities include snowmobiling, sledding and unwinding in an onsen, while cycling, hiking, river rafting and canoeing across mountain lakes can be enjoyed when snow is scarce.
