2025 Komoro Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Located in Kaikoen Garden in Komoro City, this is a long-established soba restaurant with a very nice atmosphere that uses a dirt floor that is over 100 years old. They have standard menu items such as Zaru Soba, but you should definitely try their specialty, "Dashi Soba"! Soba noodles soaked in a dashi broth made from kelp and bonito, sprinkled with salt, and dipped in sauce, you can enjoy three different flavors at once, making this an exquisite soba dish. You will need to pay the entrance fee to Kaikoen Garden to go to the restaurant, but soba lovers should check it out!

There are many attractive mountains in Nagano Prefecture, and Yunomaruyama is one of them. It is easy to climb, and there are various leisure facilities such as ski resorts, campsites, and hot springs in the surrounding area, making it a popular day-trip mountain. In autumn, the autumn leaves are spectacular. #Nagano #Mountaineering

#cherryblossom25 Komoro Kaikoen is this gorgeous, slightly rugged park that feels like a well-kept secret. Built inside the old Komoro Castle grounds, it’s lower in elevation compared to many other famous spots, so the blooms come earlier and thicker. Ancient stone gates and crumbling walls are wrapped in pink, giving the place a slightly melancholic beauty — like nature gently reclaiming history. There’s even a tiny amusement park tucked inside, which gives the whole thing a quirky charm. I wandered through misty sakura tunnels and even got caught in a short spring rain, making the petals stick to the old stones — incredibly photogenic. My #cherryblossom25 post from Komoro was a moody shot of rain-speckled blossoms against a mossy gate. It's perfect if you’re into moody aesthetics and places rich with atmosphere.

#0yentravel The Shinano Railway is a local railway that connects Karuizawa and Shinonoi in Nagano Prefecture. It took over a section that was originally part of the Shinetsu Main Line and continues to operate as an important means of transportation for the region. Historic townscapes such as Old Karuizawa and Komoro remain along the line, and the view of Mount Asama from the train window is beautiful. Stations and track facilities that evoke the days when the Asama express train ran can be seen here and there, making it quietly popular with railway fans. The tourist train Rokumon is also in operation. It is a relaxing line where you can travel while feeling the local atmosphere and the flow of time.

#Spring0yentrip Komoro is a quiet town in Nagano Prefecture, where history and nature are in harmony. The first place we visited was Komoro Castle Park. Here, we strolled through the park, which spreads out around the castle ruins, and enjoyed the beautiful nature of each season. It was especially beautiful during the spring cherry blossom season, when the area was bustling with people watching the flowers. Within the park, the historic Sannomaru ruins and the castle moat remain, giving the place a traditional feel. We also visited Nostalgia Garden in the center of town, where we were able to walk through the buildings from the early Showa period and the quaint streets, and the historic atmosphere of the townscape soothed our hearts. Around Komoro Station, we could enjoy dishes made with local ingredients, and the Shinshu soba, a specialty of Komoro, was particularly delicious. Komoro is a peaceful town where history and nature blend together, making it the perfect place to spend some relaxing time.

This is a small temple located in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture. It also features Nunobiki Kannon, which appears in old tales. It is not very well known, so there are few tourists.

You can also see small waterfalls and rare rock formations, and the view from the top is spectacular.

Speaking of summer sightseeing destinations, Nagano is the place to be!! This summer, I went to Nagano! I arrived at Nagano Station and was hungry, so I went to a commercial facility near the station first💨 I love soba, so I thought that soba is the best in Shinshu, so I ordered soba right away🤤 Walnuts are famous, so I ordered walnut soba! It was creamy and very easy to eat, and I ate it all in one go! I heard that the regular portion was quite large, so I was scared and ordered a small, but I was able to eat the regular portion, and I regretted it because it was so delicious😳 It was really delicious, so I recommend it to anyone who goes to Nagano! I also tried walnut ohagi, and it changed my image of ohagi, unlike what I expected, but it was very delicious! It felt more like rice than ohagi🌾 There was one ohagi per person! One for two people would have been fine! Why not try it while you're eating soba!

Speaking of Nagano, it's soba! So I went to the "Soba Restaurant You Can Get To by Helicopter" that is famous for the commercial featuring Yamada Takayuki and Oguri Shun! The restaurant is located at the top of a mountain, and on weekends, there is a line as soon as it opens. My recommendation is the "Oroshi Bukkake" - grated daikon radish topped with thick soba broth and eaten with soba. On my second visit, I was thinking how delicious it was, when lo and behold, someone actually came by helicopter to eat there!!! We arrived on the lawn next to the shop by helicopter, ate some soba noodles, and then flew off. 🫢 It's no wonder the soba noodles are so delicious that people came by helicopter to eat them. 🥹 🏠: Shobuan 💰: Oroshi Bukkake from 1,000 yen 📍: 1075 Okui, Komoro City, Nagano Prefecture 🕛: 11:00-15:00 (closed on Mondays) #JapaneseCuisine2024 #NaganoTrip #SobaRestaurant #Heliport
