Day 8 in Nagano: Walking 2.5km in 1-hour to Visit the Zenkoji Temple – JAPAN | Ungkler Travels 2023
6-feb: Konnichiwa-good morning Nagano! Day 8 of the trip, devoting it to the city of Nagano. Today, we are walking all the way to Zenkoji temple. 12:54pm, starting point was from the corner of Lawson. Wooden lanterns line the road, also serving as guides/markers to Zenkoji temple. Distance to the temple was about 2 to 2.5km, which they say takes 30 minutes. But it took us 1-hour… with our stopovers at Mos Burger for a quick lunch, and Arteria Bakery two blocks from it. A leisurely pace is how one should walk to visit Zenkoji temple, especially in cool, winter weather and sunny day. The city of Nagano is laid-back, unlike Tokyo, which I was beginning to like. 2:01pm, reaching the Niomon Gate, the first gate to Zenkoji temple grounds… at last! #UngklerTravels2023
