The temperature continues to drop here in Nagano, and with that, the beautiful autumn leaves are quickly transforming the landscape – perhaps the most beautiful time of year in Central Japan.
Our recent blog – #SNOWMONKEYRESORTLOCAL: Nagano in Autumn – Enjoy the Autumn Leaves of Shiga Kogen & Kita-Shiga Kogen, Yamanouchi – profiled a couple of the best spots in Nagano to see the leaves each autumn.
As the landscape continues to shift in colour and form, we’d like to highlight another great ‘koyo’ spot – Tsugaike Nature Park in Hakuba. Best known as one of Hakuba Valley’s largest ski resorts, Tsugaike is also one of the best spots in Nagano to enjoy the autumn leaves.
Located at 1900 metres above sea level, Tsugaike Nature Park has multiple waking courses – of 1km, 2km, 3km and 5.5km – and is blessed with stunning autumn colours set against the backdrop of the North Alps.
Accessible using the ‘Eve’ Gondola followed by the Tsugaike Ropeway, walks at Tsugaike Nature Park are suitable for anyone of reasonable fitness and just one of the many activities on offer at Hakuba.
Our ’25 Things To Do In & Around Hakuba’ page offers tips and suggestions as to the best things on offer in Hakuba throughout the year.
