Togakushi Shrine in Nagano is a place you must visit at least once in your lifetime. Visiting in winter lets you feel the atmosphere of nature even more, making it an unforgettable experience. In winter, I recommend walking from the Zuishinmon Gate at Okusha back to Chusha. Be mindful of the time, as bus service is limited. It's best to reserve round-trip seats in advance so you have a seat on the way back.

Matsumoto Castle
Matsumoto Castle was built between the years 1593 and 1594. It is one of the oldest of the still-standing “gojuu-rokkai” (five roofs, six stories) structures in Japan, and it has been registered as a national treasure.
When traveling to Nagano, you definitely shouldn't miss Matsumoto Castle. With the Northern Alps as its backdrop, the castle standing there is truly breathtaking. I highly recommend going up to the main keep, where you can see the snow-covered peaks in the distance and enjoy a magnificent, expansive view.
