		Nagano is also the prefecture which is bordered by the highest number of other prefectures in Japan and it contains the location which is the furthest point from the ocean anywhere in Japan.

	Skiing in Japan: An Introduction - First Tracks!! Online Ski Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I had recently interviewed for the Japanese Exchange and Teaching program, and while quite excited at the prospect of going to Japan, and a little more knowledgeable about skiing in Japan, the only clear memories of the Olympic skiing were the names "Hakuba" (which I now know means "white place") and "Happo-one".
		The Herminator’s fall in the downhill, and the earthquake that interrupted one of the skiing competitions, were about the only vivid Nagano skiing memories that I had.
		Yamagata is also host to Gassan, a high mountain pass whose ski season does not even start until May, when sufficient snow has melted to allow cars to pass through and reach the resort.

	Washingtonpost.com: Nagano Pronunciation Befuddles Even the Natives
		A Tokyoite is likely to have trouble understanding a resident of the northern Yamagata prefecture speaking in dialect.
		There are even theories that some Japanese dialects developed hundreds of years ago as a way to confound the activities of government spies sent from the capital.
		So, although there will be an official Nagano Olympic bean curd, wristwatch and apple, there will be no official pronunciation of the host city.
