Yoshida

The town of Yoshida sits at the base of mountains in Nagano Prefecture, with traditional wooden houses and narrow streets leading to local temples.

Yoshida developed as a postal town during the Edo period, serving as a rest stop for travelers along the important trade routes through Nagano.

The town maintains several festivals throughout the year, including the winter lantern celebration where residents display handmade paper lanterns outside their homes.

Yoshida offers direct bus connections to Tokyo and Nagano City, with services running every hour from the central transportation terminal.

Local farmers in Yoshida continue the centuries-old practice of cultivating wasabi in natural spring water streaming down from the mountain slopes.
