Description
A vegetarian day from Yudanaka: Buddhist shojin ryori lunch in a Zenkoji temple lodging, the temple's dark inner passage, Obuse chestnut sweets and the snow monkeys.
We pick up your group at your hotel in Yudanaka or Shibu Onsen at about 08:30. Your English-speaking driver-guide (Hindi and Urdu also available) runs a day built for vegetarian travellers. The heart of it is a shojin ryori lunch, the plant-based food of Buddhist monks, served inside one of the temple lodgings of Zenkoji. Your guide checks each food stop for meat and fish, so vegetarian families can relax.
About 08:45 - Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park (about 2 hours). Early is quiet. A 30-minute forest walk to the park where wild monkeys live and may be seen in the hot spring.
About 11:30 - Zenkoji Temple, Nagano (about 1.5 hours with lunch after). A temple open to all faiths for 1,400 years. Walk the Okaidan, a pitch-dark passage under the main hall, and feel for the key of paradise on the wall.
About 12:30 - Shojin ryori lunch at a Zenkoji temple lodging (about 1 hour). Small dishes of seasonal vegetables, tofu, sesame and rice, served in a tatami room.
About 14:30 - Obuse town (about 1.5 hours). Walk the chestnut-wood lanes and taste chestnut sweets, and see the Hokusai art town streets.
About 16:30 - Back at your hotel.
On the day you can change the order of Obuse and the monkey park, or spend longer at Zenkoji.
This is a private tour. Only your group.
If the shojin lunch at the Zenkoji temple lodging is closed or cancelled on your date, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. The tour price does not change. If you prefer, we can instead book a shojin ryori lunch at another Zenkoji temple lodging.
