Nagano 
Nagano has a history stretching back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333) when it was a temple town centred around Zenko-ji temple. The temple is still Nagano's main attraction with more than 4 million visitors a year.
In the late 1990's the city came to international attention as the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics. As well as a fair amount of debt, the games left a legacy of improved transport, great English tourist information, some wonderful Olympic buildings and a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Nagano makes a great base for day trips to Matsumoto castle, as well as visiting the famous snow monkeys in Yudanaka Onsen.
