How to get there

From Tokyo, the quickest way to get into the Kiso Valley is by JR Tokaido Shinkansen to Nagoya, and then by JR Shinano limited express into the valley. The one way trip takes about three hours and costs about 12,000 Yen.

The alternative by Matsumoto bound JR Azusa limited express from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station to Shiojiri where you transfer to the JR Shinano limited express, takes about four hours and 9,000 Yen.
