Understand
There is Yatugatake (peaks) in the north of the Hokuto city, and the Kiyosato plateau stretches to the foot.
Get in
Hokuto is near Nagano Prefecture.
Get around
Hokuto is a collection of towns and villages that have pooled their administration, and it is not centered around a single densely populated area. As such it is a very rural area and getting around largely requires a car. There are a large number of stations on the JR Chuo Line and the JR Koumi Line in Hokuto.
