Getting there requires a little bit of extra maneuvering though since taking a bus or the bullet train up to Nagano will need to be followed up with a taxi to your accommodation. Taking a pre-booked private or share taxi from the airport is a good option if you want to avoid the hassle.
The dining in Nozawa is a real highlight with an extensive choice and style of restaurants, bars and izakayas. In the village you can find local and international dishes for all cravings.
