Nagawa spreads across the western foothills of Mount Tateshina in eastern Nagano Prefecture, and its highland setting has shaped a community of mountain roads, forests and seasonal resort areas. Lake Megami lies beneath the mountain and is one of the town’s best-known waterside destinations, while the Tateshina Plateau is associated with hiking and winter recreation. In the Wada district, Wada-shuku preserves the legacy of the Nakasendō, the Edo-period highway linking Kyoto and Edo; it was one of the route’s official post stations.
