Azumino

Japan's most beautiful countryside
Azumino offers visitors a chance to experience the tradition and remarkable beauty of rural Japan with numerous cultural highlights – both old and new – combining to make this Nagano’s next must-visit destination.

Settled below the strikingly beautiful mountains of the Japanese Alps lies Azumino, a picturesque valley in the heart of the countryside of Honshu, the central island of Japan. Azumino attracts many visitors throughout the year through its close proximity to the neighboring city of Matsumoto and its close association with the sweeping mountains that overlook the area. Indeed, Azumino is seen by many as the ‘gateway’ to the Japanese Alps, and hikers and snow sports enthusiasts flock to these mountains annually to sample their world-class trails and slopes.

While the Northern Alps are certainly the most dominant feature in the area, Azumino is equally famous the vast wealth of cultural attractions that can be found throughout its valley. The Daio Wasabi Farm in Hotaka area is the largest of its kind in Japan, and draws many visitors through its picturesque setting and delicious produce. Breathtaking nature, exhilarating mountains and unsurpassed culture combine to make Azumino a highlight of anyone’s visit to Japan!
