Togura Kamiyamada Hot Springs【Applicable Plan No. TK01–07】
Togura Kamiyamada Onsen is renowned as Shinshu's premier hot spring resort for its abundant water volume and skin-beautifying properties. Historical sites like the Shiroyama Kannon Hall, housing a branch spirit of Zenkoji Temple's principal image, dot the surrounding area. The hot spring town, exuding the charm of the Showa era, retains old-fashioned entertainment like shooting galleries and snack bars, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the hot spring atmosphere. Spanning along the Chikuma River, it offers abundant nearby attractions like fireworks festivals and sightseeing in the apricot-growing region.
National Treasure: Zenkoji Temple【Applicable Plan No. TK01, TK03, TK06】
Zenkōji Temple, enshrining the One-Light Trinity Amida Buddha statue said to be Japan's oldest Buddhist image, boasts a history of approximately 1,400 years since its founding. As a temple for the common people, welcoming all without distinction regardless of sect, it attracts numerous visitors from both Japan and abroad.
Togakushi Shrine Chuusha【Applicable Plan No. TK01, TK02, TK05】
Among the five shrines, this is the Togakushi Shrine Chuusha. Within its grounds stand a sacred tree over 700 years old and three cedar trees each over 800 years old, and it houses the administrative office of Togakushi Shrine.
Togakushi Shrine Hōkō-sha [Applicable Plan No. TK02, TK05]
One of the five Togakushi Shrines, it enshrines the deity Ame-no-Uwaharu-no-Mikoto, associated with the myth of the Heavenly Rock Cave. The approach, with its stone steps and cedar trees, is beautiful and enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
Kagami Pond【Applicable Plan No. TK02, TK05】
The landscape, reflecting the Togakushi mountain range like a mirror, is truly spectacular.
Gansyoin Temple【Applicable Plan No. TK04, TK07】
This ancient temple is also associated with Sengoku warlord Masanori Fukushima, artist Katsushika Hokusai, and haiku poet Issa Kobayashi. Within the grounds lie Masanori Fukushima's mausoleum and the Frog Battle Pond, where Issa composed the verse: “Skinny frog, don't lose! Issa is here.” The main hall's large chamber features a 21-mat ceiling painting. This is Katsushika Hokusai's late masterpiece, “Great Phoenix.” Completed over 160 years ago in 1848 (the first year of the Kaei era), Hokusai was 89 years old. The “Great Phoenix” painting, with its powerful presence as if actually dancing across the main hall ceiling, is also called the “Phoenix Gazing in All Directions.” Its sharp eyes seem to stare directly at you, no matter where you view it from.
Hokusai Museum【Applicable Plan No. TK04, TK07】
The Katsushika Hokusai Museum.
Established based on original paintings, sketches, and letters created in Obuse, where he spent his later years.
Here, we exhibit one-of-a-kind pieces such as hanging scrolls, folding screens, and original paintings—distinct from the woodblock-printed nishiki-e.
No two works are alike, making this a precious spot where you can feel the very breath of Hokusai's creativity up close.
Obasute Station【Applicable Plan No. TK03, TK06】
One of Japan's three most scenic train views.
The expansive rural landscape of Zenkoji Plain below and the town lights reflecting on the terraced rice fields at night create a fantastical scene. The switchback structure is also a highlight.
Obasute Terraced Rice Fields【Applicable Plan No. TK01, TK03, TK06】
Selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields, this is Nagano Prefecture's most representative terraced landscape. The magnificent scenery woven by approximately 1,500 rice fields has been called “Tagoto no Tsuki” (Moon over Each Field) since ancient times, inspired by the sight of the moon reflected in each individual field. It has inspired numerous famous poems by literary figures, including Matsuo Basho.
Enjoy the water mirror and “Moon Reflected in Each Rice Field” in spring to early summer, green rice plants in summer, and the breathtaking golden hues in autumn. The rice planting season in May and the harvest season in September are especially recommended. Savor the changing expressions of the terraced fields throughout the seasons.
Chōraku-ji Temple【Applicable Plans No. TK01, TK03, TK06】
Located beside the Obasute terraced rice fields, this Tendai sect temple has long been renowned as a prime spot for moon viewing. Its charm intensifies especially in late October when the autumn foliage reaches its peak. Many literary figures, including Matsuo Basho, have visited, leaving behind some fifty haiku monuments lining the grounds.
