Hotels in Nagano, Japan

Nagano is a mountainous region in central Japan, famous for hosting the 1998 Winter Olympics and its ancient Zenko-ji temple. Winters bring heavy snowfall with temperatures averaging 30°F (-1°C), perfect for skiing at Hakuba Valley, while summers are mild at 75°F (24°C), great for hiking the Japanese Alps or visiting the snow monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park. After a day on the slopes or trails, soak in the region's natural hot springs (onsen) everywhere from Yudanaka to Shibu.
