Une journée à Yudanaka
Détendez-vous dans un onsen, découvrez le parc des singes des neiges, dînez avec les habitants et dormez dans un ryokan authentique.
Relax in an onsen
There is no better way to start your day than to relax in a steaming hot onsen. At Yorozuya hotel, you can do so in an extremely lush and luxurious setting - and no, you don't need to stay there to make use of their facilities. (No picture allowed in the actual onsen area)
Randonnée de 1,5h
Onsen town of Yudanaka
Wander around the lovely streets of Yudanaka Onsen town, where you will see steam rising through cracks in the streets and mini hot springs where you can boil an egg!
Snow Monkey Park
Continue your hike through thick pine forest along the Yokoyu river to Snow Monkey National Park where you will be greeted by the Jigokudani Funsen Fountain, a powerful natural geyser shooting hot waters tens of meters up in the sky. Here in the hope of spotting some snow monkeys, we arrived in fall which apparently meant the monkeys were out mating in the bush and hadn't been spotted for over a week. However, luck was on our side and right when we were about to leave, we spotted 3 resident snow monkeys playing around on the rooftops. Mission accomplished after all!
Sushi with the locals
Ready for a local dinner experience? At the tiny Isamizushi restaurant it feels like you are a guest in someone's living room. Grab a seat at the bar and watch how the old owner meticulously prepares some delicious sushi and sashimi.
Overnight at AIBIYA
Continuing the trend of authentic Japanese experiences, check-in and spend the night at AIBIYA, a beautiful ryokan.
