A thoroughly enjoyable trip. Well organised and good instructions to get the train to Nagano by yourself, time to look around the temple and surrounding shops, tasty Japanese lunch and then amazing trip to see the monkeys. The walk through the forest is a little slippery, but beautiful.

Overall the trip was a pleasant way to spend the day. The tickets for the bullet train were somewhat confusing as we had never ridden the train before. The guide did not seem to know much about the Zenko-ji Temple so that portion of the tour was not very interesting. Lunch was extremely good. The walk to the Snow Monkey Park was very icy and at times dangerous. The distance was not difficult but if the bus could have parked at the actual lot so we did not have to walk on the road up to the parking lot it would not have been as icy. The monkeys were really the stars of the show.

We had a wonderful guide, who kept everyone on track. I thought the day MAY have felt rushed, but in fact it was perfectly timed. The Snow Monkeys came out to play as well. Sturdy snow boots are definitely a must in winter.
