Shinano Omachi’s Attractions
Mountains
We maintain an environment where men and women young or old can enjoy mountain climbing and hiking. From spring to summer, there are lush green plants and flowers of all colors, while in autumn, the place seems ablaze with fall leaves as far as the eye can see. If you are lucky, you might encounter rock ptarmigans or Japanese serows, both animals designated as Special Natural Monuments in Japan.
Lakes
Shinano Omachi is proud of the “Three Lakes of Nishina.” Lake Kizaki, Lake Nakatsuna, and Lake Aoki sparkle with the water that fills them. You can relax while camping and fishing along the lake shores. And out on the water, you can thoroughly enjoy activities like canoeing and SUP.
Snow
The Jiigatake and Kashimayari ski resorts, known collectively as “Hakuba Valley,” make this mountain resort the focus of international attention. Blessed with an abundance of high-quality powder snow, it is a place to enjoy winter sports to your heart’s content.
Hot springs
Shinano Omachi has many hot springs where you can soothe your weary body after sight-seeing or mountain climbing. We recommend Japanese inns that pride themselves on their famous hot springs for a visit to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route or as a hub for winter sports.
Cuisine
The cuisine is based on the delicious mountain spring water that flows from the Japan Alps. It gives rise to the deliciousness of so many foods, such as Kurobe Dam curry, coffee at cafes, sweets, soba noodles, mountain herbs, vegetables, local sake, and more.
