[Nagano] Azumino, bressed by Dousojin (roadside guardian deities).

Azumino is a scenic area in Nagano Prefecture, surrounded by the majestic Northern Alps. It is famous for its abundant spring water, which comes from the melted snow of the mountains and nourishes the fertile land. The spring water is used for growing wasabi, a spicy green condiment, and raising rainbow trout, a delicious fish. Azumino’s spring water group has been selected as one of the “100 Selected Springs” by the Ministry of the Environment. Azumino also has many art museums, historical sites, and cozy cafes that attract visitors who love culture and nature. You can enjoy cycling, hiking, or just relaxing in this beautiful place.
