A Four Day Itinerary From Tokyo To Niigata & Nagano

The doors to the shinkansen close, and the serenity has already begun. As you look out the window, Tokyo seems like it must still be abuzz with the excitement we all love and expect, but you're already on your way to Nagano and Niigata prefectures for an escape of an entirely different design. Here in the mountains, and down to the other sea, a fantastic tapestry of Japan's natural boastables awaits. Four nights gives you a comfortable look into some of the region's best offerings. Some may know about Nagano from when the prefecture hosted the Winter Olympics back in 1998, and to be sure the prefecture still profits from the infrastructure investments made around that time, but there is also a wide world of adventure and cultural immersion for the taking when you roam about this lightly treaded gem of an area. Neighboring Niigata produces some of the world's finest sakes, but also begs to be enjoyed for its unique coastal and island natural assets.
