      Ueda City is in the eastern part of Nagano Prefecture, in the middle of the main Japanese island of Honshu. Less than two hours from Tokyo, the city and its surroundings provide an intriguing mixture of nature, history and culture. Encircled by forested, 2000m high mountains, there are a wealth of hiking opportunities providing dramatic views down to the Chikuma River valley and adjacent fertile plains. The city has a rich history, which is explored in a number of walks in this book. Bessho Onsen provides a chance to soak in some ancient hot springs. In addition, there are famous temples and shrines nearby, many dating from the 13th century. Strategically located between Tokyo and Niigata, the Ueda area was the scene of a number of historic battles during the 15th century. Later, in the Edo era, it became an important site for commerce, transport and agriculture. Many reminders of these times are described in this book. Ueda City and environs provide a memorable engagement with one of Japan's most livable cities. Each tour has a detailed English description, colour photographs, and a full-colour map.
