The whole area looks like a yellow carpet!

Nakayama Plateau changes its appearance in spring, summer, fall, and winter, offering visitors the impression of beautiful nature. Among them, we would like to introduce the rape blossoms in the spring, which cover the entire area like a yellow carpet.
The view of the rape blossoms blooming all over the area is truly spectacular. The rapeseed field is located on the former Omachi ski slope, which is a gently sloping hill.
The elevation is high, and from the top of the hill, on a clear day, one can enjoy the collaboration of the rape blossom fields and the beautiful mountains of the Northern Alps.
There are several rape blossom fields in Nagano Prefecture, but the main feature of Nakayama Kogen is that visitors can enjoy the view of the Alps mountains along with the rape blossoms. You will not be able to enjoy this view anywhere else.

When the rape blossoms are finished, the next step is an interesting carpet.

When the rape blossoms come to an end, buckwheat seeds are sown, and by the end of summer, the field is covered with an interesting carpet of buckwheat. Then they are harvested and the season of new buckwheat comes.
The pure white buckwheat flowers and the clear autumn sky are a perfect match.
Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of white and blue.
Unlike the flower fields in the city, Nakayama Kogen offers a vast expanse of blooming scenery. Accessible from Azumino and Matsumoto in about an hour, please visit to experience its beauty.
