Located in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, this mountain village is known as the Tyrol of Japan. It is said to be a village in the sky, with houses scattered across steep slopes, and offers magnificent views.
Shimoguri-no-Sato is a beautiful mountain village located in Toyamago, Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, and is known as the Tyrol of Japan. The steep slopes at an altitude of 800m to 1,000m, dotted with houses and fields, are unique and beautiful, like a painting, and attract visitors. Among them, the Ogibira Observatory, which overlooks the entire village, is a popular spot where you can see this magnificent view most beautifully.

To get to the Ogibira Observatory, walk along the well-maintained promenade from the dedicated parking lot. Although the promenade has some steep slopes in parts, the journey is also enjoyable as you look forward to the view between the trees. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the village spreading out below and the Southern Alps towering in the distance. In particular, the sea of clouds in the early morning and the lights of the village at dusk are fantastically beautiful, and show different expressions depending on the time of day you visit.

Shimoguri Village is not just a place to enjoy the scenery, but also a place where you can experience the daily life of the people who live there and the culture that has been passed down since ancient times.

[Hidden gem]
The Ogibira Observatory is popular, but the views you can see through the trees as you walk along the promenade are also a hidden gem that show different expressions.
