安曇野瑞士村, Theme park in Azumino, Japan.
Azumino Swiss Village is a theme park in Nagano that recreates Swiss architecture and landscapes set against the Japanese Alps. The grounds feature buildings, gardens, and public spaces designed to resemble traditional Swiss villages.
The park opened in 2004 as a fusion of Swiss design principles and Japanese aesthetic traditions in a tourist setting. This approach explored how European and Asian design styles could coexist within a modern leisure facility.
The park presents Swiss traditions through regular performances and music events that visitors can experience throughout the year. These gatherings blend European and Japanese entertainment in ways that feel natural to the setting.
The park is about a 20-minute drive from Azumino Interchange or accessible by taxi from JR Toyoshina Station. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds require plenty of walking to explore activities and installations.
The grounds feature outdoor trampolines, a disk golf course, and stilts walking activities mixed into the Swiss-themed environment. These playful elements create an unexpected blend that sets the experience apart from typical theme parks.
