About Nagano

Nagano is a hidden gem that will captivate your senses. The city's unique blend of traditional and modern culture is embodied by Zenko-ji Temple, a Buddhist temple that dates back to the 7th century and boasts an impressive 500-year-old wooden main hall. One thing travellers love about Nagano is the opportunity to experience the majestic Japanese Alps and the scenic Kurobe Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, by hiking, skiing, or simply taking in the breathtaking views.

The best time to visit Nagano is from December to March for skiing and winter sports, or from May to October for hiking and autumn foliage. For first-timers, consider purchasing a Nagano City Pass for unlimited travel on local buses and trains, making it easy to explore the city's many attractions and hidden gems.
