Best Nagano Tours in January

Nagano gained international recognition as the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, and today attracts visitors year-round with its natural beauty and cultural sites. The city is home to Zenko-ji Temple, one of Japan’s oldest and most important Buddhist temples, drawing pilgrims and tourists alike. Surrounding Nagano, the Japanese Alps offer opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and hot spring relaxation in areas like Shiga Kogen and Nozawa Onsen.
