Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nagiso in Nagano offers post-town streets and river heritage. Check bus connections from JR Nagiso Station toward Tsumago and your return. Choose the station-area bridge and Tsumago as separate outings.

This guide covers places within Nagiso, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
