ABOUT CHINO

Chino is located on the eastern side of Nagano Prefecture, about 2h from Tokyo and 30min from Matsumoto. Stretching from the peaks of the Yatsugatake all the way down to where Suwa Valley begins, the entire area is perched in the foothills of a grand mountain range where people have lived uninterruptedly for over 10,000 years.

AREA GUIDE

Chino is made up of four areas. There is the quasi-national park, formed by the many peaks of the Yatsugatake; the highland thermal retreat in Tateshina; the mountain resorts of Lake Shirakaba and Kurumayama; and the town and rural villages scattered in the foothills, where the locals keep traditions alive.
