Descripción
Hotel pickup in Hakuba village. Cross to the Shiga Highlands for Jigokudani, where wild monkeys may be seen, then visit Obuse and Zenkoji.
We pick up your group at your hotel or lodge in Hakuba (Echoland, Wadano or Happo) at 08:00. Many skiers want to see the snow monkeys. This tour takes you there and back in one day, with two more sights on the way home.
The drive to Yamanouchi takes about 1 hour 40 minutes, via Nagano. Around 09:45 we reach the Jigokudani trailhead. You walk 30 minutes on a flat forest trail to the park. Wild macaques may be seen near the river and the steaming pool. They live freely in the valley, and you cannot feed or touch them. You spend about 1 hour there.
Around 12:00 we drive to Obuse. Lunch is in town, with chestnut rice, soba or set meals. Halal food is not guaranteed. Walk the chestnut-wood paths and small gardens, and see the storehouses of old merchant families. The Hokusai Museum shows painted festival floats by the great artist. Local sake shops also sell non-alcoholic chestnut drinks and sweets.
Around 14:15 we drive to Zenkoji in Nagano City. This temple has welcomed pilgrims for about 1,400 years. Walk through the big Sanmon gate to the main hall, and try the Okaidan dark passage under the altar if you wish.
Around 15:30 we head back to Hakuba along the Hakuba Nagano road. In clear weather you see the Northern Alps ahead. You arrive at your lodge at about 17:00.
Your plan is customizable: on the day, your group can change the order, skip Obuse, spend longer at the monkey park, or swap in a nearby place such as Shibu Onsen streets or the Togakushi cedar avenue. Changes stay in northern Nagano and within about 9 hours.
This is a private tour. Only your group. Ski families can travel together with children at their own pace.
If Jigokudani Monkey Park is closed on your date because of weather, you can take a full refund of your booking, guaranteed. If you prefer, we can instead visit the Togakushi cedar avenue and spend longer at Zenkoji.
