- Attractions-

Lake Suwa is located in the temperate zone, almost in the center of Nagano Prefecture. The lake is 759 meters above sea level and has a circumference of 16.2 kilometers. It is the largest lake in the prefecture. The highlands are located in the upper reaches of the Azusagawa River in the western part of Nagano Prefecture. This area is surrounded by virgin forests such as white birch and larch. Taisho Pond, Tashiro Pond, Myojin Pond, etc. are distributed in it. It is surrounded by the Hotaka Mountain Range, Yakidake, and Jonen Mountains. This small basin with an altitude of about 1,500 meters belongs to the Chubu Mountains National Park.

The scenery is as majestic as the Japanese Alps. The mountain is closed every winter, and after it opens in the spring, it becomes a popular destination for backpackers! Located in the upper reaches of the Azusagawa River in the west of Nagano Prefecture, it is surrounded by the Hotaka Mountain Range, Yakidake Mountains, and Jonen Mountains. It is a small basin with an altitude of about 1,500 meters and belongs to the Chubu Mountains National Park. It became known to the world through the introduction of Walter Weston, a British missionary and mountaineer in the 19th century, and is also known to many mountaineers as a famous scenic spot in Japan. The altitude is 1,500 meters. From March to May, the temperature is about 1-10 degrees. The temperature difference in the mountains is large, and it may rain or snow suddenly. Please bring an umbrella and keep warm. The scenery is soothing and very relaxing! There are also many wild monkeys living in the mountains. You can take pictures of the cute monkeys, but be careful not to feed them.

When talking about the characteristics of Kamikochi, the first thing that comes to mind is the Kappa Bridge. The current Kappa Bridge was rebuilt in 1997 and is about 36 meters long and 3 meters wide. The area around the bridge is the busiest area in Kamikochi, with souvenir shops, restaurants and hotels on both sides. Looking from the bridge, you can see the verdant green in spring, and the red leaves shining on the water in autumn. When you look up, you can see the majestic Hotaka Mountains and Yakidake Mountains.

To the south of the Kappa Bridge, you'll see the beautiful mirrored water reflecting the Hotaka Range Mountains and Yakidake. Taisho Pond displays different atmospheres depending on the time, not only during the day, but also at dusk and early morning. After the rain, the haze rises, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

The Tashiro Marsh outside the virgin forest offers stunning views of the Hotaka Mountains, and many people take photos with tripods. After summer, the shades gradually change, and autumn is enveloped in tan. In November, frost will fall again before the peaks close, spreading white and sparkling landscapes.

Tateyama Kurobe is located in central Japan and is known as "Japan's last secret place". In autumn, the maple leaves on the mountain complement the snow on the top of the mountain, and the mountains are covered in layers of red and yellow, creating a unique and amazing landscape. Take the ground cable car, aerial cable car, trolleybus and other means of transportation to enjoy the bright red maple leaves and enjoy the unique beauty of Japan.
