Tateshina

Tateshina straddles the upland slopes north of Mount Tateshina in Nagano Prefecture, a position that has long connected its settlements with mountain routes and the historic Nakasendō. The town belongs to the northern Yatsugatake area, where forests and cultivated land lead toward the volcanic peak. Lake Megami, high on the mountain’s northern side, is one of Tateshina’s best-known outdoor settings. In Ashida-shuku, a former Nakasendō post station, the old highway recalls the route that once linked Edo with Kyoto. Today Tateshina remains a rural base for walks, seasonal drives and time in the highlands.
