Chikuma

Chikuma sits along the Chikuma River in Nagano Prefecture, where the broad Nagano Basin rises into wooded mountain slopes. The city includes the hot-spring district of Togura Kamiyamada, known for its longstanding bathing culture. Above the basin, the Obasute terraced rice fields are closely associated with moon viewing and classical Japanese poetry; their stepped plots also reflect the practical farming of steep terrain. Chikuma gives travellers a sense of regional inland Japan through riverside walks, local onsen and the changing seasons of rice country.
