*How to Travel to Nagano, Japan*
Taking the Shinkansen to Nagano from Tokyo takes 2 hours.
From Nagano station, you will take Nagaden train to yudanaka station. It costs 1,260 yen one way.
Remember to press the limited express ticket so you can take the fastest train.
The ticket machine is old so it doesn't take Suica, PASMO, or credit card. Make sure you have enough cash on you. With the express train, it'll take 44 minutes to get to Yudanaka station.
*Shibu-Onsen Kokuya Hotel Review*
The room I chose was the Japanese style room with an open air bath named Take. My entire stay costs $1,093.38. This includes breakfast and dinner. For dinner you can choose between western style or Japanese style. I picked this hotel because it had a free pickup service to and from the train station and they will drop you off at the monkey park.
In this hotel, there are 9 different types of onsen that are open 24 hours. There are private onsen for couples and families. Each onsen has a different color door curtain. Red mean it’s open for female and blue is for male. After 9 pm the curtains switch. So you have a chance to try all the different types of onsen they offer here.
*Nagano Onsen (Hot Bath) Facts!*
Here's a quick onsen lesson: The water has to come from a hot spring from the earth, either naturally or from artificially bored holes. The water needs to be higher than 77°F. And it needs to have at least 1 of 19 different types of minerals in the water.
*Nagano Snow Monkeys*
The Snow Monkey Park is a unique place where you can observe the wild monkeys going about their daily lives including the unique behavior of bathing in onsens.
The snow monkey is known as the Japanese Macaque
- it is a monkey that lives in the coldest climate
- in Japan, it's known as the saru
- saru monkeys have a class society where only the elite members of their society are allowed to bathe in the hot springs
- they are known as one of the most intelligent species, as they are able to clean their food and then season it with sea water before eating it
- they roll snowballs for fun
*Final Nagano Travel Tips*
If you have a tight schedule in Japan, Yamanouchi can be easily done with just one night’s stay. I would arrive at 3 pm because that’s when the car pickup service is available. The first day you can walk around the little town and enjoy the onsen. The next day after breakfast you'll use the hotel's luggage service to have your luggage brought to the coffee shop right next to Yudanaka station. Then take their free shuttle to the monkey park. Then you can take a bus back to the station from the monkey park.
It's definitely worth the trip to see monkeys in hot springs, which you can only find in Japan!

Fukuoka, Japan: Exploring Temples and the Pokemon Center!
Hi, everyone! I wanted to share my time in Fukuoka, Japan with you. I was there for a week to train for Interac, but had one free day to explore so I spent it checking out the local temples in the Hakata area. Then, right before hopping on the bullet train back to Okayama, I got to check out the Pokemon Center! We don't have one in Okayama so I wanted to get something for Joe. Especially because while I was away training, he had his birthday, and we had our 4 year wedding anniversary.
