However, transport into the mountain city of Nagano and surrounding area was improved for the 1998 Winter Olympics making the ski slopes much more accessible.
Nagano and some parts of Gifu in particular are located at a very high elevation and this brings with it colder weather, but also lower rainfall as the effects of typhoons are not felt so severely at the highest parts of the region.
