Welcome to Iiyma, the "Hometown" of Japan.

Located at the northernmost part of Nagano Prefecture, Iiyama is known as "Japan's Hometown", Here you can experience "ancient" Japan, by visiting the many remaining temples or just by viewing its traditional landscapes spread across the city.

Along with the "ancient", Iiyama has an abundant annual snowfall, which makes it an ideal place for winter sports.

If you want a taste of Japan's four seasons, Iiyama is the place for you!
