Wow, thats one long and inconvnient bus ride!
What about trains? Any idea why theres a train station on google earth but it doesnt show up anywhere?
Or is there any sort of bike rental in Nagano city?

The official website advises to take a bus from Nagano station. Rent a cycle is available once you get there.

As mentioned the rail line that once ran through Matsushiro was discontinued last year. Let's hope they are keeping the station for the nostalgic feel as shown below.

Sorry for the typo!

The bus ride from Nagano JR station to Matsushiro rail station is 30-35 min, indeed longer if you go beyond Matsushiro station.
