1 day in nagano & snow monkey park | Japan VLOG

Good morning from Nagano! In this silent travel vlog, I share my early morning adventure catching a train to Nagano, starting with a unique bento-packing experience at our hotel, a quick trip through the dark streets to the station, and a delightful breakfast on the train. Along the way, I collect adorable Eki stamps, explore Zenkoji Temple (one of Japan’s oldest and most revered temples founded in the 7th century), and savor local treats like free apple juice at the hotel—all while soaking in the serene atmosphere of Japan. 🚆🍱🏯

Next, join me as I grab the Snow Monkey Pass, hike through slippery, snowy trails, and finally reach the enchanting Snow Monkey Park, where nature meets playful wildlife! After a 10‑course dinner reservation and a heartwarming return to Nagoya by bus, I wrap up the day with a cozy hotel check-in featuring onsen highlights and my favorite apple juice. Experience the raw, real vibes of Nagano with handy travel tips and a sprinkle of fascinating history along the way. ❄️🐒✨
