|
| Typical food in Nagano area is soba (buckwheat noodles). It's delicious, especially freshly made, like in this restauraant found by accident. On the left are a variety of wild grass, deep-fried. This is specific to Yamanouchi. |

|
| Shibu area in Yamanouchi. Shibu has a dozen (at least) of onsens ! |
