Nagano, full of snow ❄️🌨️ accessible from Tokyo
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
If anyone wants to see snow falling and not many tourists, we would like everyone to try visiting Nagano City. We were very impressed. We like that there are not many tourists, but it is not too quiet either. You can travel in a chill way. Importantly, Nagano City also has Zenkoji Temple, or if anyone has a plan to go to Hakuba, there is a bus from Nagano directly to Hakuba.
🗓️ Our Nagano trip is from February 4 - February 7, 2025.
🚌 How to get there We used the Alpico bus service, which can be boarded from Shinjuku Bus Station. We recommend buying tickets online from the website first. If you buy them at the event, there is a chance that the bus will be full. We think it is cheaper and more convenient than taking the train.
🏨 We chose to stay at Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano-Zenkojiguchi, a good location, near the train station, bus, Donki, restaurants. There is a Lowson downstairs of the hotel, very convenient.
