Nagano and Environs
Getting Here and Around
Nagano is 97 minutes from Tokyo's Ueno Station by Shinkansen, 40 minutes from Karuizawa by Shinkansen, and 3 hours from Nagoya by JR Limited Express. It's a convenient base for visiting some of the surrounding onsen and mountains, though you can easily see the main sights around Zenko-ji in half a day.
