Oshika accommodation from NZ$76

After you've got to know Oshika, why don't you tour a little more of the area? The Nagano area has plenty of other things to see. If you're a nature lover, you won't want to miss Nagano's forests and lakes. In addition you could visit the area's ruins, castles and traditional villages. In this section of Japan, energetic types might try their hand at snowboarding, skiing and cross-country skiing.

Matsumoto is 75 kilometres to the north of Oshika and is where you'll find the Matsumoto Castle and Japan Ukiyo-e Museum. The Matsumoto Marunouchi Hotel and Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu are just some of the apartment and hotel alternatives in Matsumoto. 95 kilometres to the north of Oshika, you can also stay at Ueda, which is home to the Hotel Sunroute Ueda and Hotel Route-Inn Ueda. The Zensanji Temple, Ueda Castle and Anrakuji Temple are amongst the more popular sites to check out in Ueda.

Plan on flying in and out of Oshika? You'll most likely be flying in and out of Mt. Fuji - Shizuoka Airport, 85 kilometres from Oshika's centre. Visitors can stay close by at the Hotel Route-Inn Shimada Ekimae.
