As many of you know, Nagano played host to the 1998 Winter Olympics. I have placed a map of the venues in a travelogue with a good link to information on these places should anyone wish to know about it.
The last Winter Olympic games were held in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2002.
The next ones will be in Torino, Italy from February 11 - 26 2006.
Please see Torino Winter Olympics for more details!
