Iiyama
The Iiyama Valley located in Nagano Prefecture is a beautiful and tranquil area known for its natural landscapes, traditional culture and a wide range of seasonal activities. The valley and surrounding region have a serene, traditional atmosphere that offers visitors a chance to experience authentic rural Japan. The area is particularly appealing to those who appreciate scenic beauty, cultural heritage and outdoor activities
Winter is a particularly popular time for visitors, as the area is close to popular ski resorts like Nozawa Onsen. These resorts provide excellent skiing and snowboarding, along with opportunities to experience traditional hot spring baths, or onsen, which are perfect for relaxation after a day on the slopes.
High in the mountains of Iiyama, Kosuge is a sacred village known for its deep spiritual heritage and natural beauty. Long connected to the ascetic practices of Shugendo, it still draws yamabushi monks who follow ancient mountain rituals.
