How to Get to Togakushi Shrine from Nagano Station: DIY Guide

This winter, I posted photos from our last trip to Nagano, and to my surprise, my shots of Togakushi Shrine went viral on social media!

I received so many messages asking how to get there from Nagano Station, so I figured—why not just write a blog post about it? If you’re planning to visit, here’s everything you need to know!

NAGANO: A WINTER WONDERLAND ADVENTURE

Last winter, I went back to Japan to watch The Eras Tour in Tokyo. But of course, we’re talking about Japan here—so our trip wasn’t just about attending a concert; we also indulged in some unforgettable winter experiences.

My first winter trip to Japan was in Hokkaido. We spent several days exploring the prefecture, and as someone who lives in a tropical country, it truly felt like stepping into a winter wonderland. 

For this trip, my friend Milet (@projectgora) suggested that we visit Nagano as one of the legs of our journey.

In this blog, I’ll focus on what we did in Nagano and how we made it happen.
