It has an inland climate with a large daily range of temperatures throughout the year, with a maximum temperature exceeding 30 degrees Celsius in summer and an average monthly temperature below freezing in winter, and the annual precipitation is as low as about 1,000 mm. Shiga Highlands UNESCO Eco Park The UNESCO Eco Park was launched by UNESCO with the aim of harmonizing the conservation and sustainable use of ecosystems. 　Shiga Highlands UNESCO Eco Park consists of an area spanning five towns/villages in two prefectures: Yamanouchi Town, Takayama Village (Nagano Prefecture), Nakanojo Town, Kusatsu Town, and Tsumagoi Village (Gunma Prefecture), and is located almost in the center of Joshinetsu Highlands National Park. Elevation region blessed with 2,000-meter-high mountains, majestic Nature, and abundant Hot Spring Minamoto, including the one of the most Hot Spring and snow resorts in Japan, which was the venue for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. 　The Shiga Highlands UNESCO Eco Park was registered in 1980 and included part of Takayama Village from the beginning. Later, due to heightened awareness of the Nature environment, we considered expanding the area of the Shiga Highlands UNESCO Eco Park from 2012 to 2013, expanded the "transition area" and "buffer area" in Takayama Village, and decided to make the registered area all villages, which was approved by UNESCO in 2014. ■NPO "The Most Beautiful Village in Japan" Union The NPO "The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan" Union started in 2005 with seven towns/villages.
