Another great sight in Nagano-ken are the numerous lakes and dams. Most dams are made to make electricity, but the lakes behind the dams are great for tourism.The biggest hydroelectric plant in Japan is Nagano-ken:Tokyo Electric Power Company Shintakase Power PlantMaximum output 1,280,000kW

Mountains and more mountains

The scenery in Nagano-ken is great. The entire prefecture is mountainous. The japanese alps have 16 mountains of over 3000m in Nagano-ken.Winter is the time for skiing, in summer you can make great hikes.
