나가노현 지역의 역사/문화/견학 명소

일본에서 2번째로 가장 오래된 성이라고 친구가 알려준 곳으로 오사카 성과는 전혀 다른 느낌이었다 훨씬 기풍이 느껴지는 곳이었고 당시 비가 내렸는데 그래서 더 운치가 느껴졌다 밤에 보는 성은 더욱 아름다웠다

We went to this hotel for afternoon, and it was wonderful. Biking around the hotel was very relaxing and picturesque. The hotel has a lot of history, and John Lennon used to stay here. We ordered a...

I happily found out about the Hokusai-kan museum from my hotel proprietor and I was able to make a stop off in Obuse on my way back to Nagano. Hokusai-kan is situated in a great part of the town and...

도쿄 치히로 미술관 방문 이후 본관이라고 할 수 있는 아즈미노 치히로 미술관을 방문했습니다. 접근성이 조금 떨어지기는 하지만 나가노 현에 방문할 일이 있다면 반드시 가 보아야 할 명소라고 생각합니다. 그림책을 정말 전문성 넘치게 큐레이팅하고 연구한다는 점을 알 수 있는 전시와 친절한 스탭들, 그리고 문학을 통해 평화와 문화 교류를 추구하고 있다는 점이...

This castle is located in a walking distance from the station Kamisuwa. It is surrounded by a moat and has a park with a pond and flower garden. Unfortunately, the castle had been rebuilt relatively...

A unique approach to defining a building, well worth the visit. Unfortunately the art, while well-executed, is not cohesive and sometimes derivative. I tried to imagine the experience of the building...

御柱で有名な諏訪大社上社には、本宮の他にこの前宮がある。地元では「まえみや」といわず「めぇ-みや」と訛る。小さいが、長い階段を上った先に、品のいい小さな社が鎮座する。上社に行くなら、こっちもぜひ参って。

The Matsumoto City Museum covers three floors of a building adjacent to the castle grounds. It is different from many city museums in that it includes some early history of the city and area. It is...
