Ueda

About Ueda

Ueda, a hidden gem in Nagano Prefecture, charms visitors with its tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural landscapes. The city's standout attraction is the Tsumago-juku, a well-preserved traditional post town from the Edo period, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich history. One unique thing travellers love about Ueda is the beautiful cherry blossoms that bloom in spring, creating a picturesque landscape that's perfect for photography.

The best time to visit Ueda is during the spring season, from late March to early May, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. For first-timers, we recommend renting a bike to explore the city's scenic countryside and rural villages, which offers a unique and leisurely way to experience Ueda's natural beauty.
