JR East Nagano Branch

Hello from Nagano—the almost-centre of Japan! The four seasons of Nagano have stark contrasts from one another compared to other prefectures. We are engaged in train operations, feeling the richness of nature in each season. We want to rediscover the charm of Nagano and share information that is real and full of love for our home district.
