Highlights of Nagano Prefecture
Nagano Prefecture is landlocked and is the source of several of Japan's major rivers. This is because the prefecture is generally at a high elevation. This indicates a unique natural environment characterized by a complex topography and a humid, inland climate. This forms the basis for offering a variety of unique experiences that can't be found anywhere else when traveling or staying in a hotel.
Nagano Prefecture, with its diverse topography, can be broadly divided into six areas based on its geography. Each region's unique geographical features have influenced the people who have lived there since ancient times. We have passed down the traditional culture, food culture, and historical heritage that have taken root in that region to the present day.
Furthermore, Nagano Prefecture is a mountainous prefecture surrounded by high mountains, including the three Alps. The variety of activities related to mountains and nature can be said to be among the best in Japan, both in terms of quality and quantity.
Northern Shinano area
Northern Shinano is a region of majestic snow-capped mountains and plateaus. It is a popular area where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and hot springs throughout the seasons, including Shiga Kogen, Togakushi, and Nozawa Onsen.

Safety instructions will also be provided (including how to use automatic inflatable life vests and other precautions).
Why not try bouldering? It's perfect for beginners and those who don't usually exercise. Our staff will provide thorough instructions at the beginning, so you can easily give it a try. The beginner routes are moderately high, so even those worried about heights can rest assured. Let's have fun and get a full-body workout!
