12年前にバスツアーで来たときは3時間の自由時間でバスターミナルから明神池まで往復したので帝国ホテルには立ち寄っただけでした。今回もバスツアーで3時間の自由時間でしたが、ゆっくり帝国ホテルでお昼を食べることにしました。午後1時過ぎだったせいかコロナ禍のせいか席は空いていたのですぐに座れました。お昼の1プレートとしては良いお値段ですが、帝国ホテルだけあってとてもおいしかったです。

- Nagano Shimoina-gun Achimura Chisato 4224-1
- A restaurant located on the Nagano Prefecture side of the Mt. Ena tunnel on the Chuo Expressway. There you can dine on fish dishes made with amago trout and char raised in clear streams flowing from 2,191-meter Mt. Ena. Nothing beats eating the salt-grilled fish around the tables with built-in fire pits. You'll definitely want to order gohei-mochi rice cakes, an Ina Valley local favorite smothered in a secret sauce made with walnuts and Japanese pepper. They also have a fishing pond and you can grill or fry the fish you catch right at the shop. Of course, they'll clean them for you to take home, too.

- Nagano Chiisagata-gun Nagawa Machi Himekidaira 3518
- This is a soba noodle restaurant on National Route 152 stands out with its thatched roof. They aren't limited by their relationship with other shops, so they pursue classic soba goodness their own way. Their Dattan Soba comes recommended; it contains about 120 times more rutin than ordinary soba. The town's specialty product, Shinano Kiriyama Dantan Soba, is a fabulous dish that overturns the conventional wisdom that bitterness has no place in food. For dessert, try their popular Datan Soba Cheese Tart made with special buckwheat flour and lots of cream cheese.

- Nagano Kitasaku-gun Karuizawamachi
- "Maruyama Coffee's fourth shop is located in the Harunire Terrace with its concept of ""everyday Karuizawa."" They use a metal filtered French press to extract the inherent goodness of the coffee. This lets you enjoy their high quality specialty coffee in Karuizawa's open air surrounded by its natural abundance. It is also the only Maruyama Coffee branch with an on-site bookstore, featuring carefully selected titles you can purchase on the spot. We also recommend grabbing a coffee to go and strolling around Harunire Terrace, which is on the Yukawa River."

Nagano Areas
Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
