Zozanjinja Shrine - Matsushiro

Matsushiro is a castle town about 30 minutes from the center of Nagano. It is reached by Nagaden Train, bus or taxi from town. There are many interesting museums, temples, shrines and cultural treasures to be seen here. Don't forget to stop over at the Matsushiro Spa Ph.026-2782596 on your way home!

Don't forget to take a look at the Matsushiro Travelogue for more pictures and information on what to see and do here.

Obasute view across Nagano

This picture was taken from the train station at Obasute. It is on the Chuo line between Nagano and Matsumoto and offers beautiful views towards the mountains and Nagano City.
