The Japanese call Nagano'Shinsyu'with affection. One of the only prefectures that still uses the old name from Edo era. It is surrounded by Japanese Alps and blessed with clean water and air. People in big cities come on weekends for a retreat , quality food and local crafts. I'll take you to the most beautiful areas of Nagano and only-locals-know spots. My favourite place to take traveller is Togakushi shrine, which has majestic trees and long history. You can enjoy interaction with locals as well as quality local food such as Oyaki, Soba buckwheat noodle, Sake. This 3 days will be filled with beauty, cherry blossoms in spring, lush green in summer, change of leaves in fall. Day 1 Snow monkeys or Matsumoto castle (The oldest castle, Majestic beauty) Day 2 Village of Togakushi ( where Ninjas and Shinto practitioners used to train at Sacred mountain), (Togakushi is partly closed from Dec-Mar. I'll take you to other area , instead of Togakushi in winter.) Day 3 Old part of Nagano city
