Nagano Ski Hub
Iiyama City in northern Nagano is a serene destination renowned for its vibrant autumn foliage. Among its many temples, Shōnen-ji stands out, especially in early to mid-November, when its moss-covered gardens are adorned with brilliant red and gold leaves. The temple's tranquil atmosphere offers a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of the season. Exploring Iiyama's temple district during this time provides a unique opportunity to experience Japan's autumnal charm in a less-traveled setting.
