Iizuna Highlands, Tableland at 1000 meters elevation in Nagano Prefecture, Japan
The Iizuna Highlands extend across a broad plateau near Mount Iizuna, offering views of Nagano city and the surrounding mountain ranges.
The area gained recognition during the 1998 Winter Olympics when the nearby Iizuna Resort hosted freestyle skiing competitions and winter sports events.
The highlands connect to Mount Iizuna, which holds religious importance for Shugendo practitioners and features in local legends about a tengu named Saburo.
The region maintains several hiking trails and ski courses, with the highest point reaching 1500 meters and the longest ski run extending 2500 meters.
During winter months, the elevated position of Iizuna Highlands creates temperature inversions, placing visitors above the clouds that settle in Nagano Basin.
