We are visiting family in Nagano 2/13-15, and will be going to Mashiko, a pottery village 2/16-2/17. We are traveling with a 3 yr old toddler. Mashiko doesnt have a hotel for the night of 2/15 so I am looking for somewhere to check out in beween Nagano and Mashiko. Any suggestions? I love goldfish and koi fish and animals, not sure if there is anything like that of interest on the way. Big on food too, gardens, etc. i know, so vague. I am trying to solidify these last minute plans, would love to hear any suggestions!

I think Itoigawa is nearby.
Possibly Oyama or Omiya area for a hotel.
Omiya has a JR East Railway Museum (need to buy ticket via convenience store museum) with experiences for toddlers. Nearby (one station over) is Bonsai Museum.
