Hi! May ask what month you went? Thank you.

[@onebagoneworld]

We were there in mid-late February!

Hey there can you share the info of the bus you took from Sendai to the monkey park please?

[@onebagoneworld]

Hey! Absolutely. If you come from sendai you actually need to take the Shinkansen which takes about ~2.5 hours to Nagano. Then from Nagano station go out the east exit and look for the Express bus. You can find it at station #23. There were people outside with a big sign and a table selling the bus tickets. It can be a daytrip, but it will be a LONG day. I highly recommend spending the night before so you can get to the park early in the morning. Our bus was SLAMMED on the way back to Nagano with people standing the whole time. After that I don't know if I would trek back to Sendai but would probably continue on to Kanazawa area. More info on the busses: www.snowmonkeyresorts.com/access/nagaden-express-bus-timetable/

The views from the temple were beautiful, but the snow monkeys were my favorite. I've never really wanted to visit Japan, but now I want to plan a trip to see some of these things (maybe at warmer times.)

[@onebagoneworld]

Add it to your list! Its definitely in the top 3 countries we've visited.

Thanks for sharing, added some of this to our list! Did you visit the snow monkeys on a day trip from Sendai? Seems a long way from there…

[@onebagoneworld]

Snow Monkeys we actually spent one night in Nagano but didn't feel like it was worth it's own video. You are right though, it is a bit far to do it in one day, but perfect for a weekend!
