Tips & Advice

  • Come by train and walk 4 minutes from the East Exit of JR Nagano Station to reach the market.
  • Entry is free, but food, drink and shopping are paid separately, so bring money for glühwein and gifts.
  • Visit on a Saturday or Sunday for a longer day, because the market opens earlier on weekends than on weekdays.
  • Rain won't cancel the market, but stormy weather can close it, so check conditions before you go on a rough day.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors in Nagano in December, since the whole market is set up in the open park.
