114.86 km (71.36 miles) - 'in the city of Saku':

Nagano is an inland prefecture and it borders more prefectures than any other in Japan. Nagano contains the point furthest from the sea in the whole of Japan - this point lies within the city of Saku.

Saku holds the distinction of containing the point furthest from the sea (actually this point lies within the former town of Usuda).

Usuda was a town located in Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2003, the town has an estimated population of 15,731 and a density of 189.05 persons per km². The total area is 83.21 km².

On April 1, 2005, Usuda, along with the town of Mochizuki, and the village of Asashina (both from Kitasaku District), was merged into the expanded city of Saku.
