Nagano is the area where Japanese culture harmonized with nature.
Nagano Prefecture is the treasure house of nature, history and culture. Situated in the center of Japan, it is home to the Northern, Central and Southern Alps, and so is often referred to as the "Roof of Japan." Its 13,585 square kilometers play host to four national parks that offer year - round recreational activities, from hiking and camping in spring, summer and autumn, to skiing and skating in winter. The innumerable peaks naturally provide a challenge to mountain climbers of all calibers..
