Hiking at Togakushi Shrine - Nagano Winter Trip Part 1

Day 1 Itinerary: Togakushi Shrine and Nagano City
How to Get There
To reach Togakushi Shrine from Nagano City, take bus number 70 from Nagano Station towards Togakushi. During the winter season, please note that the bus doesn't go directly to the entrance of the shrine. Instead, you'll need to alight at Togakushi Chusa station and walk for about an hour to reach the main shrine.
Alternatively, you can get a Zenkoji & Togakushi 1-Day Ticket for 3000 yen. This ticket lets you ride the bus unlimited times between Nagano Station, Zenkoji, and Togakushi for one day and offers discounts at certain local shops. You can buy it at the Alpico Bus ticket office by Nagano Station.
These buses don't have reserved seats, so buy your ticket on the day of travel. If you board at a stop without a ticket counter, you can buy your ticket directly on the bus.

what month did you go there. I dont see a lot of people?

[@cherrywandersjapan3067]

I visited on February 10. I arrived early, so there weren't many people there initially. By noon, more people had shown up, but it still wasn't very crowded.

I got there around 9 a.m. I took the first local bus, but some people who drove arrived earlier.

if I go there in early december, is it already snow at there?

[@cherrywandersjapan3067]

Hello! 👋
By early December, Togakushi Shrine is likely to have some snow, but the amount can vary from year to year. While the higher elevations in the region tend to get snow earlier, consistent and significant snowfall might not occur until later in the month. For the best snow experience, plan your visit between late December and February.
