In front of Nakano Station's western entrance there is the statue of an Indian woman called in Japanese Nyoze Hime (如是姫/princess Nyoze). She is here to offer flowers to Amida Buddha who cured her when she was sick; the legend is connected to Zenkoji (善行寺) temple that is one of Nagano's sights and one of Japan's most important temples.
