Address: 4-1 Matsushiromachimatsushiro, Nagano 381-1231, Nagano Prefecture.

The museum is about 30 minutes from the JR Nagano station. The museum has some great artifacts which you have to see to believe. It also has a beautiful garden where you can enjoy your walk.

The Sanada treasure museum exhibits the treasures of Sanaa family. The Sanada family was a popular family which expanded their influence during the Edo period. The Sanada Treasure Museum exhibits the life and time of the Sanada family. Address: Togakushi, Nagano 381-4101, Nagano Prefecture.The shrine is a bit far from the station, however, you would enjoy the walk in the forest towards the shrine. You should also visit the middle and the lower shrine if you have some time. Even though it is a small shrine, you can feel the positive energy all around the shrine. The walk in the upper shrine is quite peaceful and without any difficulty. The Togakushi Shrine consists of a lower, a middle and an upper shrine in the forested mountains present north of Nagano center city. Address: Togakushi, Nagano 381-4101, Nagano Prefectur.The lake is about a 20-minute walk from the nearest bus station. You can walk around the lake and capture amazing reflections throughout the day. Kagami means вЂњpondвЂќ and ike means вЂњmirrorвЂќ, so the lake means the mirror pond. The complete name of the lake is Kagami-ike, which is a perfect fitting. Lake-Kagami is another worth visiting place on your tour to Nagano. Address: Motoyoshicho-491, Nagano, Nagano Prefecture 380-0851, Japan.The monks are very friendly and will explain you the templeвЂ™s history in English. It is a huge mixture of shrines, memorials, and gates. Due to its wide history, the temple is visited by millions of people every year. It was found in the 7 th and has the first Buddhist statue ever. How about starting your tour to Japan with Zenko-ji temple, which is one of the most important and popular temples in Japan. So, here are the top 30 things to do in Nagano: 1. Nagano, with its many castles, museums and restaurants, truly depicts the Japanese tradition. When you travel to Japan, you should definitely see Tokyo and Kyoto but you shouldnвЂ™t other places, like Nagano. Bus available from Nagano station but it takes over an hour so a car is preferable.Most people say that the top places to see in Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto, however, these arenвЂ™t the only places to see. NB: Not open on Thursdays unless it is a Public Holiday. Notwithstanding, our 10yo kids enjoyed it. Would not be allowed in most Western countries - so beware. One of the kids' activities is to climb up on a roof and run along it to the next activity - but there is no fence along the edge of the roof with a drop of 2.5m. IN fact, like other things in Japan, safety is not a priority. Moreover the NInja house and maze were claustrophobic and there seemed to be no fire precautions or cc cameras to supervise, especially a child without an adult who cou d not find their way out. There is a large extra charge for several activities (eg throwing star knives, ninja house with 'secret' passage way, maze etc) which we did not think were worth the money. Price of 500Y for admission includes many fun and age appropriate climbing and ropes activities etc. Being in the middle of one of Japan's worst heat waves on record it was worth the trip up into the mountains for the scenery and cool air.
