Nagano’s ALPS Azumino National Government Park: Witness a Dazzling Illumination Display
To make your visit in Nagano more unforgettable, do stop by at the ALPS Azumino National Government Park to watch an spectacular illumination display. It is a popular destination for amazing illumination displays during winter with over 70,000 light bulbs that flicker in time with music.

The park’s theme then was the 4 seasons of Japan. Each area had its own design: cherry blossom lights for spring; Christmas tree lights for winter; and flowers for summer. If you want to see this sparkling creation, make sure to include Azumino’s illumination park in your Nagano itinerary. (Photos above of the installation were taken last January.)
