Here is a Nagano Travel Guide written by Suzaka Higashi High School students.
The native high school students would use their local knowledge of the area to introduce their recommendations for sightseeing spots in English. Please take a look!
Garyu Park in Suzaka

You must walk to the park. Of cource you can take a taxi, but it's very expensive.

Junior high school students or younger / 70 yen

[One point advice from Guest House KURA]
*It takes about 20-25 mins from Suzaka Station to Garyu Park.
If you don't take a taxi, you can also take a local bus.
