Nagano Prefectural Culture Hall

The Nagano Prefectural Culture Hall is a performance venue in Wakasato built with modern steel-reinforced concrete construction across multiple levels. The facility includes fixed seating areas, flexible spaces that adapt for different event types, and specialized conference rooms with interpretation capabilities.

The hall opened in April 1983 and later served as a press center during the Nagano Winter Olympic Games. This event marked a turning point that established its reputation as a venue for major regional gatherings.

The venue hosts performances, lectures, and music recitals that attract visitors from across the region for live cultural events. People gather here regularly for activities that bring the community together through the arts and intellectual exchange.

The venue is accessible by taxi from Nagano Station East Exit or by local bus service to the nearby stop. The hall provides wheelchair access and flexible entry options for visitors with different mobility needs.

The hall houses both Bosendorfer and Kawai grand pianos available for professional musicians and performers. These high-quality instruments allow artists to perform at international standards within this local venue.
