Midori

Nagano · Chubu

MIDORI is the shopping complex built into Nagano Station itself, so it is the last stop of most Nagano trips rather than a destination in its own right. The food floor carries the prefecture's own producers — Shinshu miso, apples and apple confectionery, buckwheat from the Togakushi and Kisoji growers — and the soba counters on the restaurant level serve until late enough to catch an evening Shinkansen.

Why we picked it

Almost everyone passes through it with a train to catch and never registers that the souvenir floor is stocked by Nagano makers rather than the usual national gift brands.
