I try to say it aloud as little as possible.
Hahahaha. I'll ask my wife. Nitto is easy though, compared to other words. When Nagano had the olympics, it was bad. Real bad. It was either NAgano or NaGAno. Japanese pronunciation is difficult, they don't emphasize syllables as much as English. My wife advised me to sound as neutral as possible when speaking.
