Karuizawa to Nagano via Ueda Rail Journey Itinerary

The published Karuizawa–Nagano route provides a leisurely connection through Ueda, with regional dining available through the appropriate plan. Use it to connect two parts of a Shinshu stay rather than assuming it includes sightseeing at every town.
