Plan Contents
Nagano Station Area 【No. NA01–06】
The area around Nagano Station bustles with travelers as a hub for visiting Zenkoji Temple. Commercial facilities and souvenir shops directly connected to the station offer local delicacies like Shinshu soba noodles and regional sake, while hotels and temple lodgings provide ample accommodation options. Taxis offer convenient access to popular tourist destinations such as Zenkoji Temple, Togakushi, and Obuse.
National Treasure: Zenkoji Temple【Plan No. NA01_NA04】
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【Plan No.NA01_NA02_NA03 】
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.
Okusha Shrine Cedar Avenue and Guardian Deity Gate【Plan No. NA01_NA03】
The approach to the Okusha shrine stretches about 2 kilometers. Midway stands a red, thatched-roof Suijin Gate, beyond which lies a row of cedar trees over 400 years old, designated as a Natural Monument. This area is also considered a power spot, exuding a unique atmosphere.
Togakushi Shrine Okusha【Plan No.NA02_NA03 】
As the main shrine of the Togakushi Shrine complex, it is revered for its divine blessings of good fortune, fulfillment of wishes, abundant harvests, and victory in sports, drawing many worshippers from across the nation who make pilgrimages to its sacred grounds.
Kagami Pond【Plan No. NA01_NA03】
The landscape, reflecting the Togakushi mountain range like a mirror, is truly spectacular.
Former Sanada Residence【Plan No. NA04】
This outer palace was built in 1864 (the first year of the Genji era) by Sanada Yukinori, the ninth lord of the Matsushiro Domain, as a residence for his mother-in-law, Teimatsu-in (the wife of Yukira). It was apparently called the “New Palace” at the time.
Zōzan Shrine【Plan NA04】
In 1913 (Taisho 2), coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Shozan's martyrdom, plans for establishing a shrine were initiated, spearheaded by Chief Justice Yokota Hideo, a native of Matsushiro Town. The shrine was founded in 1938 (Showa 13). The shrine site occupies the former residence of Sakuma Shozan. Buildings associated with Shozan have been relocated to the shrine grounds from within Matsushiro Town and from Kyoto. Note that while Sakuma Shozan's name is generally read as “Shozan,” it is traditionally pronounced ‘Zozan’ in his native Nagano Prefecture. Following this local custom, the shrine's name is also read as “Zozan Shrine.”
Hokusai Museum [Plan No. NA05]
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.
Ganshoin Temple【Plan No.NA05】
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 ceiling painting spanning 21 tatami mats. 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.
