Let me summarise what there is to see in Nagano:
Mountains, snow monkeys, onsens and Aussies on snowboarding holidays (OK I'm just vouching for winter).

On our last day we had 5 hours to kill before boarding the bus back to Tokyo. We found a looming cafe and made scarves. My sister has just opened a looming pop up studio in London, so in my absence from London, I was able to somehow feel a part of it.
With our creations:

Jigokudani Monkey Park (Snow Monkeys), this means HELL VALLEY:
Vote for photoshopped Abe:
Wonky tonky house. Seriously, how many earthquakes has this probably survived?:
