The capital of Nagano Prefecture, Nagano is best known for hosting the 1998 Winter Olympics. The city and its surrounding area, however, offer a lot more attractions beyond the facilities that were used during the event. Zenkoji Temple, one of the oldest and most important Buddhist temples in the country, is worth a visit. If you enjoy history, you can also visit Matsushiro Castle Ruins, where the famed Battle of Kawanakajima was fought. Meanwhile, Yamanouchi is where you can catch sight of Japanese macaques relaxing by bathing in hot springs.
