- Soba Restaurant Yamashiroya
Located in front of the main gate of Zenkoji Temple, "Soba-dokoro Yamashiroya" is a long-established restaurant where you can enjoy Shinshu soba noodles along with sightseeing in Nagano. You can savor delicate soba noodles lovingly made by the proprietress, as well as dishes made with seasonal ingredients. It's a great place to stop by before or after visiting Zenkoji Temple to easily enjoy Nagano's unique food culture.
- Shinshu Zenkoji Temple
Shinshu Zenkoji Temple, boasting a history of approximately 1,400 years, is a renowned temple representing Nagano Prefecture. As a "non-denominational" temple that does not belong to any particular sect, it has attracted the faith of many people since ancient times. It is said that "everyone should visit Zenkoji Temple at least once in their lifetime," and even today, many worshippers come from all over Japan. In addition to its magnificent main hall, visitors can also enjoy strolling through the historic temple town, making it one of Nagano's most representative tourist spots.
- Jigokudani Monkey Park: "Snow and Monkeys in Collaboration"
Located in the mountainous region of northern Nagano Prefecture, Jigokudani Monkey Park is a world-famous spot where you can observe wild Japanese macaques up close. Especially in winter, you can sometimes see "snow monkeys" bathing in hot springs amidst the snowy landscape, and the fantastical and unique scenery created by the snow and monkeys is popular with tourists visiting Japan. It is a special experience unique to Nagano, where you can observe monkeys living in the harsh winter environment. However, since they are wild animals, you are not guaranteed to see them bathing in the hot springs or see monkeys themselves.
