Nakano

Nakano lies along the Chikuma River in northern Nagano Prefecture, where the wide Nagano Basin rises toward the foothills of Kita-Shinano. The city is an agricultural centre known for its apples, grapes and cherries, with cultivated mushrooms also forming an important local crop. Orchards, fields and low-rise neighbourhoods extend across the basin before roads climb into the surrounding hills; Nagano city lies farther south in the same broad valley. Nakano’s summer Gion Festival brings decorated floats and neighbourhood processions into the streets, maintaining a communal tradition at the heart of the city’s calendar.
