Today I went on a day trip to Nagano City from Matsumoto to see the Higashiyama Kai collection at Nagano Prefectural Art Museum.
\nBy train, it takes one hour and a half to reach Nagano and you can buy a special discounted ticked for a round trip for 1500 JPY at the ticket machines of Matsumoto Station.<\/p>\n

This time there were some works that the painter made in China on display.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7548\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"IMG_7549\" <\/a> <\/div>
\"IMG_7551\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Another work we saw was an installation that you can enjoy once an hour at the museum:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7550\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"IMG_7566\" <\/a> <\/div>
\"IMG_7567\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

These are some of the pictures I took.<\/p>\n

It’s always nice to visit this museum because after visiting the gallery you can enjoy the view from the terrace<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I don’t go to Nagano City a lot from Matsumoto, because the general opinion seems to be that there is more to see in Matsumoto, however I saw some places I would like to go back to next time.<\/p>\n

I think it can be an interesting day trip destination from Matsumoto!<\/p>\n

In my opinion, there are many dishes you can try in Matsumoto, however Nagano is more limited in that regard.
\nI still enjoyed a tea break at a nice shop and got cake:<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Unlike Matsumoto, Nagano is connected to Tokyo by a Shinkansen, so one option could be to come straight from Tokyo, spend a day and then move to Matsumoto with the fast train (one hour 3000 JPY ca.) in the evening.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been to Nagano City?<\/p>\n
