Komagane sits in Nagano’s Ina Valley, framed by the Central and Southern Alps. It’s a good base for outdoor travellers, with access to the Senjojiki Cirque via one of Japan’s highest cable cars - ideal for alpine hikes in summer and snowshoeing in winter. For culture and food lovers, Komagane offers temple stays at Kozenji, soba-making workshops, and local breweries producing sake and craft beer.
Families can explore forest parks, riverside trails, and small museums, while relaxed travellers can enjoy onsen baths with mountain views. Komagane suits those looking for nature, local food, and a quieter pace away from Japan’s cities.
