    Nagano Pref. Chikumashi Yashiro 29-1 In the village of the genius in the historical park
    This National Historic Site is in Mori, Chikuma City. The roughly 100-meter-long keyhole-shaped tumulus was built in the fourth century. It's thought to be the grave of a king who once ruled the area. It was restored based on an excavation, and today features facilities like Shinano-no-sato Historical Park and the Mori-Shogunzuka Museum.

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

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.
