Hello, my name is Eriko. I have professionally guided people for the past 10 years, and I love...
Itinerary not perfect? Message Eriko M. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
Would you like to travel at ease? Would you like to see country side of Japan which is rich in nature and traditions with a friendly local guide? Then please join my tour! I 'll show you must-see-spots as well as only-locals-know spots. Come and meet the Japanese wild monkeys and experience the magic of being very close to wild animals! These monkeys are world-famous for bathing in hot springs when it is cold. In green season, they are not in the bath as much, but instead you'll get to see adorable new-born babies! I will tell you all about the interesting history of why they have this strange custom. It is worthwhile coming to Nagano to see these adorable monkeys and the beautiful country side of Japan, being away from touristy big cities.
Meet the guide at Nagano station Take a local train, admiring scenery of country side. Take a taxi/bus to the entrance of the trail 30 mins walk in the forest. Japanese call a walk in forests 'Shinrinyoku' (forest bathing in English because your entire being is being immersed in healing energy) Enjoy the monkey park being close to the wild monkeys. *The trail is slippery with snow and ice in winter. It is a MUST to wear a non slippery shoes. *There are times that the monkeys are absent from the park. In that case I will provide an alternative options. *In winter we usually see the Snow Monkeys in the bath, but in other seasons there will be times when they hang out in the water, but please know that the monkeys are wild animals and there is no guarantee they are in the bath. 30mins walk back in the trail Bus to Yudanaka Sta (The town is famous as hot spring town. If time allows, enjoy open-air hot spring foot bath) Nagano Sta
