Kamikochi, a place that represents the beauty of the Japanese Alps!! 🏔️✨ The name Kamikochi is said to come from "Kamikouchi = the place where gods live", but it's a wonderful place where you can see truly mystical scenery!! I've been there a few times since I was little, but when I go back as an adult, I'm once again moved by the beauty of this nature🥺 🌟Recommended🌟 ・If you're lucky, you can see wild Japanese macaques on the way from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, so I recommend walking there! ・The weather in the mountains is changeable, so be sure to check the weather forecast before going! I really recommend going to Kamikochi on a sunny day ⚠️There are restrictions on private cars in Kamikochi, so I recommend parking your car at [Nagano Prefecture side] ▶️Sawando Parking Lot [Gifu side] ▶️Akanda Parking Lot 🚗 I went from the Gifu side (Takayama City)^^ #EnjoyJapan #AsiaTravel #Tourism #DomesticTravel #Kamikochi #NaganoPrefecture #Nature #NaturalArea #StressRelief

Nezame no Toko in Agematsu Town, Nagano Prefecture, is a famous scenic spot where the granite has been carved by the rapid flow of the Kiso River. Visitors can walk to the edge of the eroded rocks, experiencing the raw power of nature up close, while the emerald green color of the water leaves a lasting impression. To visit Nezame no Toko, you need to park your car at the parking lot along National Route 19 and descend a steep staircase from the grounds of Rinsenji Temple. Climbing back up takes about 10 minutes. (I've also included a photo overlooking Nezame no Toko from Rinsenji Temple.) Rinsenji Temple also houses the Benzaiten Shrine, which was established in 1711 under the orders of Yoshimichi Tokugawa, the 4th lord of the Owari Domain. Interestingly, Hello Kitty is also enshrined alongside Benzaiten. Name: Nezame no Toko Entrance: Rinsenji Temple Address: 1704 Agematsu, Agematsu Town, Kiso District, Nagano Prefecture Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Admission Fee: 200 yen

Achi Village, located on the border between Nagano and Gifu Prefectures, is known for its "best starry sky in Japan," but recently it has become more well-known as "Hanamomo no Sato." (I'm one of those who only recently found out about this...) There are 5,000 flowering peaches of three varieties, red, white, and pink, planted in Hanamomo no Sato. Unlike regular peaches, flowering peaches are not edible, but are for decoration, so local people took the trouble to plant them. I'm very grateful. The flowering peaches that bloom in Hirugami Onsen in early April will increase in altitude over time, and bloom in Hanamomo no Sato in late April. The flowering peaches planted in large numbers on both sides of the river and in the mountains are truly magnificent, and I'm speechless. It really feels like a paradise. To take a photo of the whole of Hanamomo no Sato, you have to go from the top of the cliff on the other side. Before crossing the bridge with the carp streamers, take the road in front of Cafe Yamanaka on the opposite side of the road and walk for about 10 minutes up a steep hill (during this period, cars are not allowed to enter). This is also recommended if you have the stamina.

Atera Valley refers to almost the entire valley of the Atera River, which originates in the Central Alps. Because it is a rapids river, there are many rocks, but in places where the flow is calm, the river water is crystal clear and shines an emerald green. It is also known as Atera Blue, and it is simply beautiful. There is a narrow, paved forest road, and a campsite upstream. As I happened to stop by this time, I would like to come properly prepared next time. Public vehicles are not allowed to enter during holidays such as Golden Week and summer, but shuttle buses are available.

Achi Village is a small village nestled deep in the mountains of Minami Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture. Achi Village is famous as the "village with the most beautiful starry sky in Japan" certified by the Ministry of the Environment, but it is also the "number one paradise in Japan" with about 10,000 peach blossoms in spring. The best time to see them is usually from mid-April to early May. *Due to global warming, the time varies each year. Achi Village is a small village, but the best time to see them actually varies slightly depending on the location. It is a relatively low-altitude village, so the best time to see them is during the day. Kami Onsenkyo is the first place in Achi Village to bloom, from early to mid-April. Tsukigami Onsenkyo, commonly known as the "flowering peach village," blooms from mid-April to early May. The "flowering peach road" along National Route 256 blooms from late April onwards. In particular, Hirugami Onsenkyo is a beautiful flower village in full bloom, with cherry blossoms and peaches blooming at the same time. However, generally speaking, the flowering peach village, which looks good in photos, is more popular. It seems to be a famous name (when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom at Hanamomo no Sato, the cherry blossoms are almost over). There are about 5,000 red, white and pink flowering peaches in Tsukigami Onsenkyo, about 200 in Hirugami Onsenkyo, and about 5,000 on Hanamomo Kaido, so there are about 10,000 flowering peaches planted in Achi Village as a whole. In April, when the flowers are in full bloom, there are a variety of small-scale outdoor stalls and the Hanamomo Festival is held, where you can enjoy Achi Village's specialties and local gourmet food. It is said that about 200,000 people visit every year. Admission itself is free. Parking during the festival is 1,000 yen for normal cars. *However, the municipal parking lot on the side of the ropeway station, about 1 km up the hill from the village, is free. Part of the festival is lit up. Parking is free at night. Access: About 1.5 hours by car from Nagoya to Hirugami Onsen, about 3.5 hours from Tokyo. There is a direct bus from JR Nakatsugawa Station or Tsumago-juku to Hirugami Onsen. #Seasonal places in Japan #Nagano Prefecture #Flowering Peach Village #Breathtaking View

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Nagano𓂃 𓈒𓏸Nozawa Onsen Nozawa Onsen Distillery Nozawa Onsen Distillery was built by renovating a historic factory that once supported the village by canning and preserving vegetables and ingredients. Founded in 2021, this new facility was just completed in 2022 I enjoyed tasting gin. It's interesting because the taste changes just by changing the way you drink it, whether on the rocks or mixed with soda! The tasting room tends to get crowded, especially in winter, so it's recommended to make a reservation. I happened to be able to enter without a reservation, but after a while, group customers started coming in one after another 🥹👍 And the whiskey barrels lined up all over the wall are impressive! The time when the maturation reaches its peak varies depending on the type of whiskey and the type of barrel, so it's hard to say🫢 By the way, the whiskey here is still maturing, and is scheduled to be released in 2026🥃 The goods are all cute, and I want a lot of them. lol 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄⁡ 𓊆𝑊𝑖-𝐹𝑖𓊇 ? ⁡ 𓊆𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𓊇 Some available ⁡ 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 12:00-20:00 ⁡ 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 9394 Toyosato, Nozawa Onsen Village, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #naganoprefecture #nozawaonsen

Nagano Prefecture 🫧 Nagano City Zenkoji Temple I went to Zenkoji Temple, which has the oldest Buddha statue in Japan as its principal image, and where tales and historical records tell the story of Buddhism's introduction to Japan. The main hall, designated as a national treasure, has a unique and wide space with depth. It is a non-religious temple, so anyone can visit regardless of religion, which is probably why there are so many visitors. The sutra storehouse contains the "Issaikyo," which covers all Buddhist scriptures, and it is said that if you push and turn the arm of the octagonal wheel storehouse inside the hall, you will receive the same merit as if you had read the entire "Issaikyo"! There are many historical buildings, and the sutra storehouse, the "Sanmon" gate, is registered as an Important Cultural Property, and the "Shoro" and "Niomon" gates are registered as National Tangible Cultural Properties.

Jigokudani Monkey Park is located in Kamibayashi, Yamanouchi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture, and is the only place in the world where wild monkeys come to bathe in an open-air snow bath. It is a very popular spot where many foreign tourists visit to see Japanese macaques bathing in the natural hot springs that spring up in the mountains in the bitter cold. The sight of mother and child monkeys and baby monkeys is so heartwarming that you will want to take lots of photos. Although they are wild monkeys, they are actually fed, so they are not wary of humans and will come very close to you when you notice them (of course touching is prohibited). To Jigokudani Monkey Park In winter, the road is closed, so you have to walk about 1.8km from the entrance along the mountain path for about 30 minutes. It's flat so you won't get tired, but it's very slippery with snow, so we recommend shoes with sturdy soles. (Rental shoes and crampons are available at the entrance to the mountain path) 📍6845 Heijo, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture 🕰️9:00-16:00 (November-March)/8:30-17:00 (April-October) Open all year round 💰Admission fee: 800 yen for adults, 400 yen for children #Seasonal places in Japan #Nagano Prefecture #Amazing views #Wild animals #Hot springs

Yorozuya is a long-established inn where you can feel the history and atmosphere. In particular, the hot springs, designated as registered tangible cultural properties by the country, "Momoyama Bath" and "Taki no Yu", are gorgeously decorated and have a tasteful atmosphere, making you want to visit again and again just for the hot springs. The hot springs flowing directly from the source allowed me to relax both body and mind! The kaiseki cuisine made with local ingredients and the heartwarming hospitality were also wonderful, making this an inn that makes you want to come back next year. 📍Address: 3137 Heijo, Yamanouchi-cho, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture 381-0401 💰Price per person: 33,000 yen (1 person staying in 1 room) *Prices may vary depending on the season. #0 yen trip January 2025 #domestic travel #trip #Nagano Prefecture #Japan trip #hot spring inn #ultimate hot spring inn

Jigokudani Monkey Park is a rare spot in the world where you can observe wild Japanese macaques soaking in hot springs up close 🐒 Watching the monkeys leisurely enjoy the hot springs amidst the snow-covered winter scenery brought a sense of tranquility ☺️ The park is surrounded by rich nature, allowing you to enjoy interactions with the natural environment. 📍Location: 6845 Hirao, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture, 381-0401 ※ It's about a 2-kilometer walk from the dedicated parking lot of Jigokudani Monkey Park!

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and head to Yudanaka Onsen this winter✈️ We stayed at Yorozuya. The hospitality was so warm, it felt like coming home.😌 You can enjoy a luxurious onsen experience at the 'Momoyama Bath,' a registered tangible cultural property, and the charming 'Garden Open-Air Bath.' There is also the Jigokudani Monkey Park nearby, so if you want to go somewhere in addition to the onsen, I recommend visiting there. I took a taxi to the Monkey Park parking lot and walked from there to Jigokudani Monkey Park. Additionally, Shibu Onsen is also nearby, and I recommend strolling through its atmospheric hot spring town. It was accessible on foot from Yudanaka Onsen. ※The onsen photos were taken during the designated photo time set by the inn. The staff came up with the idea to allow a 15-minute photo session.☺️

#DomesticTravelRecord Tsumago-juku, a post town on the Nakasendo road, is a historic district that was the first in Japan to be designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The houses that retain the architectural features of Edo-period inns are lined up, and the nostalgic atmosphere is attractive. In addition to enjoying the townscape, there are also restaurants and souvenir shops. There are also many souvenir shops selling chestnut kinton, a specialty of neighboring Nakatsugawa City. I went on the 1/2nd of the New Year, so few stores were open and there were few tourists. If you want to enjoy taking photos, I recommend aiming for this time of year. If you want to go on a food tour, it's probably best to avoid New Year. Recommended spots 📍Tsumago-juku Address: 2178-10 Azuma, Minami Kiso-machi, Kiso-gun, Nagano Prefecture 399-5302 Cost: Free Parking: Free Opening hours: 8:30 to 17:00 ⚠ Caution: Many shops, such as souvenir shops, close at 15:00, so be careful. #Tsumagojuku #Nagano #WinterTravel
