If you are looking for Nagano City hotels, Nagano accommodation or even Zenkoji Temple lodgings you will find plenty of options here. Nagano City was initially a temple town whose development was centred on Zenkoji Temple, the grand 1,400 year-old National Treasure that continues to draw millions of people of all Buddhist sects to make pilgrimages to visit its many ancient religious structures and artifacts. Nagano is more known worldwide as the site of the 1998 Olympic Winter Games and much of the legacy of that event remains.

Tourists can find plenty of cheap Nagano accommodation that is centrally located and visit venues such as the Big Hat ice arena (which continues to host ice hockey games), the White Ring, the figure skating site, and M-Wave, where the speed skating competition took place and the local Olympic Museum now resides. Modern infrastructure improvements, such as the Shinkansen line from Nagano city to Tokyo, are also evident (see Nagano station map below)

Nagano is located over 200 kilometres north-west of Tokyo and it’s airport and 260 kilometers northeast of Nagoya. It is the home to 360,000 people and is the capital of the prefecture of the same name. Nagano has relatively fewer attractions than some of the more famous Japanese tourist meccas; however, the city’s location amongst the Japan Alps helps provide a unique variety of sites with historical, cultural, and natural characteristics that is hard to match elsewhere in the country. So basing yourself in one of the many fine Nagano City hotels on offer will provide good access.

Nagano’s natural environment also draws skiers to resorts in the nearby Japan Alps such as Myoko Kogen, Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen and Hakuba. Nature lovers, bird watchers and hikers are attracted by the region’s many parks and forests such as in Togakushi Village. Deep within the Joshin-Etsu Kogen National Park near Yudanaka Onsen is also a famous small valley called Jigokudani Yaen-koen where, during the winter, visitors can walk amongst hundreds of wild Japanese Macaques who come down from the mountains to warm themselves in the hot springs by the Yokoyu River. Golf is also a popular pastime in Nagano with many high quality courses. Finally there are always plenty of onsen to relax in such as Akakura Onsen, Shibu Onsen, Yudanaka Onsen and Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen.

Zenkoji Temple is still, by far, the top attraction of the region and the heart of the city. The city was previously known as Shinano before the arrival of the Ikkou Sanzon Amida Nyorai, the Amida Golden Triad, believed to be the first image of the Buddha in Japan. The sacred image inspired the construction of the temple during the seventh century and the city has developed around it ever since. The road to the temple is lined with shukubo – the kind of lodging that is traditionally attached to a Japanese temple. A shukubo is similar to traditional Japanese inns but at a shukubo you can join in morning prayers with the temple monks and eat shojin ryori – the special austere, vegetarian meal for monks. If this is not your scene there is a good selection of other Nagano City hotels and accommodation nearby.

Another cultural and historical attraction is the Matsushiro district in the southern part of the city. Matsushiro has many samurai residences and Buddhist temples to visit. Of more recent historical interest are the World War II tunnels dug into the base of the local mountains, the result of a last desperate plan to protect the imperial family, government, and military headquarters from what seemed to be an inevitable invasion of the country at the end of that turbulent period. We hope you will enjoy your stay in Nagano and one of the Nagano City hotels on offer!
