In ancient times, Nagano Prefecture was also known as Shinano, and it was the fourth largest county in Japan and the largest inland county.
Due to the wide geographical gap between the north and the south, the types of sightseeing resources and accompanying gifts are also very diverse. Famous places such as Karuizawa, a summer resort, a picnic park with monkeys, a visit to the lake on the stage of the animation “Your name”, and a highland on the paradise of the world, are all in the territory of Nagano Prefecture!
When it comes to Nagano’s must-have gift, everyone may only think of Kaewiya Kawai’s jam.
