The much-anticipated 10th edition of Time Outs’ 101 Things to do in Shibuya has been released.

Taking over a rural bit of northwestern Nagano prefecture, the festival will be accessible in 50 minutes by JR Oito line train from Matsumoto Station to Shinano-Omachi Station, or by taking the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Nagano Station (80min) and then riding a direct express bus for an hour.
