Togakushi is a forested area to the north of Nagano city, were many things of beauty await your eyes and camera.<\/p>\n
Nagano city (Nagano-shi, \u9577\u91ce\u5e02) in the very north of Nagano prefecture is a lot slower than the other prefectural capitals of Japan. In fact the more central city of Matsumoto (\u677e\u672c), albeit with its smaller population, just somehow feels more happening to me. There honestly isn’t a great deal to do there. Sure\u00a0Zenkoji is very beautiful, and features a dark tunnel where you can experience true pitch black. It’s even said to symbolize rebirth, and many of us could sure use some of that. We have an article about it here on Voyapon, so please read that too. But as interesting as Zenkoji is, I can\u2019t list it as the cities best attraction. Such an award hands down goes to Togakushi.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n Togakushi is actually the name of a mountain (\u6238\u96a0\u5c71), but whilst we can do mountain climbing there (and I fully intend on it this summer!) the area at the foot of the mountain more famous. Here we find three temples spaced apart by about 2 kilometers, many different hike routes, beautiful lakes and camping grounds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Naganoshi station to bus stop<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n To reach Togakushi, a rather long bus ride is required as it\u2019s not actually in Nagano city. The bus ride takes around 50 minutes, but it\u2019s an interesting route and you won\u2019t get too bored even just looking out the windows. The bus ticket costs 1150 yen from Nagano station to the first temple, Togakushi Hokosha(\u6238\u96a0\u5b9d\u5149\u793e). A return ticket can also be purchased for 2100 yen. The bus also continues onto the third temple, but excepting physical inability, you should really walk it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
