ประสบการณ์ที่คุณจะได้รับ
Your adventure begins as you board a private tour vehicle bound for the Snow Monkey Park, nestled in the onsen town of Yudanaka at the foot of the mountains. Accompanied by your guide, you’ll follow a scenic forest trail into Jigokudani, or “Hell’s Valley,” home to the world’s only troop of wild monkeys that bathe in hot springs. With no barriers between you and the monkeys, this is a rare chance to observe their fascinating behavior up close - don’t forget your camera!
After your visit, enjoy a well-earned lunch at Hotarutei, a beautifully restored 170-year-old Japanese mansion turned restaurant. Savor a seasonal nabe (hot pot) with your choice of beef, seafood, or vegetables, along with tempura, sushi, miso soup, and tea or coffee. The cozy setting, complete with heated floors and elegant wooden interiors, perfectly complements the hearty meal.
Next, explore Obuse, a charming Edo-style town known for its chestnut sweets, sake breweries, and beautifully preserved streets. Stroll through its atmospheric lanes, taste local treats, and soak in Nagano’s rich culture.
Your final destination is Zenkoji Temple, a National Treasure and one of Japan’s most important Buddhist sites. Your guide will share stories and legends surrounding the temple before giving you time to wander the temple grounds and nearby streets lined with traditional shops and eateries.
As the day concludes, sit back and relax on the ride back to your drop-off point - reflecting on your journey and perhaps scrolling through your favorite snow monkey photos.
