In winter, it’s all about the powder snow, with access to Tangram Ski Circus, Madarao Kogen, and over 20 nearby resorts within an hour’s drive. When you’re not skiing, you can soak in traditional Japanese onsens, visit local sites and family-run restaurants, or take a short drive to Joetsu and the Sea of Japan for fresh seafood, authentic dining, and coastal sightseeing. Myoko’s famous ski resorts are also nearby, while Nagano City and Zenkoji Temple make for great day trips. The area is known for its natural beauty year-round — from snowshoeing and shredding in winter to hiking, lakes, and flower fields in the green season. Locanda puts you right in the heart of Japan’s mountain culture.
