Mountain living with four distinct seasons, excellent skiing and easy access from Tokyo.

A strong choice for a second home, weekend retreat or a slower way of life.

Why Nagano

  1. Momentum

    Few regional areas in Japan have as much momentum right now.

  2. Mountain lifestyle

    Fresh air, open space and a very different pace from Tokyo.

  3. Enjoy it year-round

    Hiking and highland summers, autumn colours and snow in winter.

  4. Easy access from Tokyo

    Shinkansen access makes many parts of Nagano practical for a second home.

  5. A cooler future

    As summers get hotter, cooler highland areas are becoming increasingly attractive places to live and retreat to.

  6. World-class skiing

    Nagano offers some of Japan’s best-known ski areas and some of the best snow in the country.

  7. Resort development continues

    New investment continues to flow into key resort areas.
