The way we ended up here is because a few months before we planned our Japan trip, I saw a reel of monkeys bathing in the onsen one day. I sent it to Linardo and told him, “I want to go here!” He looked for a way and realized that we could pass Nagano during our travel from Kyoto to Tokyo.
So, he went ahead and planned the trip, and here we are. It truly feels like a dream to see each of our bucket list items checked off. π₯Ή

Every year from December to February Japan becomes a winter Paradise for those who love snow there are numerous options for where to go to enjoy snow in Japan we just arrived from kanazawa to one of the best winter destinations in the country no it’s not Hokkaido we are
In Nagano since the Winter Olympics in 1998 Nagano has been known as the go-to place to enjoy winter we known for having more than 80 ski resorts igos and the cutest monkeys taking bath in the onset another thing that you have to know is that Nagano is a faster destination if
You wish to go skiing from Tokyo with only a 1 and 1 half hour train ride in comparison the train ride from Tokyo to Hokkaido is 8 hours so yes you can really tell the difference oh by the way if you haven’t seen our previous video we visited this wonderful Village in
Kanazawa that’s known as a UNESCO heritage site it’s also so cool during winter with all the snow on top of the houses okay enough with the chitchat let’s get going [Applause] we’re going to buy the snow monkey Forest pass for $4,000 y That’s a two-way trip that’s a two-way bus trip and also you’ll get the entrance for the snow Maki Forest Park and it’s very nice here because they have the tourist information there and everyone there speaks English so it’s very very Helpful buy the ticket you have to go to the basement and we and the park closes at 4:00 p.m. right now it’s already 12:00 that’s why we are rushing again even though we are 19 days in the pen you’re always ring always Ring we got the locket it’s right beside the machines machines there and it’s this one and uh the person upstairs said this is the only place you can buy the pass specifically in the Southway line so we need to go downstair the basement yeah Y we are on board it’s going to be a long Ride [Applause] [Applause] It’s around it was around 50 minutes right but we only arrive to the bus station and we still need to hike up for around 1 hour 30 minutes no 30 minutes let’s Go are you going to the park yeah uh please do not eat in front of monkeys oh okay it is dangerous okay thank you so much can I try the Apple yes yes yes thank you so much I’m hungry again I blamed the coold for this and I didn’t eat enough in
Breakfast so my bad but there’s sweet potatoes there yummy sweet potatoes so we’re going to have this while we hike up turns out there’s more food here and I’m stuck with my sweet Potato Outside the hiking trail there’s a place where you can rent plent slippery shoes but we decided not to rent one but now what recommended if you’re not wearing any snow boots in the winter it’s can get very slippery yeah and there’s no fence in on your left side so
You know you can fall anytime we are proceeding with Extreme Caution We are almost there guys uh on the way it’s super slippery and it’s around 1 and 1/2 kilos but the road there is so beautiful that you won’t really feel the distance at all and you can see this part is snowing and here is like autumn colors so Beautiful Wow this one right oh my God it’s right in front of me look hello The monkeys are behind me this one so cute guys and they’re just showering there and like relaxing and eating some stuff I think the people here they them yeah they feed them so they will come here because the monkeys are not always here there some days they won’t come so
We’re lucky today so unique the monkeys are everywhere look it’s just down there they’re not afraid of humans at all and what makes it really unique is that most monkeys hate water but the ones here they do the onson during winter it’s so cute you can also see the Babies [Applause] [Applause] W ooh big guy you get one no I was getting that one over There [Applause] [Applause] Oh we’re walking down and we bought some more yummy potatoes and also yeah and also the apple is so sweet guys from the previous one that we bought yeah so if they’re there and they have the Apple oh the Apple are seasonal so if they have
It you have to try I think it’s called Fuji apple yeah it’s Fuji apple and they say it came from their own Farm oh wow yeah okay M and the sweet potato too it’s so good so Sweet [Applause] It’s dinner time yay so find some food we we just check into our hotel and it’s located just like 2 three minutes from the station and there’s so many food here so we don’t know what to choose but I’m really hungry yeah but from I found from internet Nagano specialty food is miso
Ramen and there soba and also it’s called sauce tonkatsu it’s basically like tonkatsu but with the sauce with extra sauce yeah so I think we’re going to find one from three of this yes let’s go we’re walking past the MRT yeah and I don’t know why there’s a lot
Of fresh deights here just in front of the MRP this is the m get and it says here please pay for this product at the ticket gate what do you use your MRT card to pay for the mushrooms and garlic thean is so unique very unique and then just in front is

Nagano soba but Lardo wants to try the Katsu so we were like fighting and then hitting each other no we weren’t I’m not too like no then we found a place that s boat and look how big this is a vegetable tempura with scallop I didn’t
