Nagano City Hall

Nagano City Hall is a multi-story administrative building in the northern part of the city. It houses public service windows, various government departments, and spaces dedicated to municipal operations.

The building served as a key coordination center when Nagano hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics. It facilitated communication between local authorities and international sports committees during this major event.

The city hall documents and displays regional customs, local festivals, and traditional crafts through rotating exhibitions. These collections show how the community preserves its heritage and shares it with visitors.

The building is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:15 PM and provides translation assistance on request. Most public services are available during these hours, though weekend and holiday closures apply.

A cafeteria on the top floor offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Zenkoji temple district. Visitors can enjoy food and drinks while taking in the city's natural landscape and religious landmarks.
