[Nagano] Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park & Zenkoji Temple One-day Cultural & Wildlife Tour

This full-day tour departs from Hakuba, visiting three Nagano landmarks: **Snow Monkey Park** Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park is home to about 200 wild monkeys soaking in natural hot springs through winter. Opened in 1964, the only place in the world where you can see snow monkeys bathing in the wild — playing, eating, and huddling for warmth. **Historic Town of Obuse** A historic town renowned for art and produce — chestnuts and sake. Home to the Hokusai Museum and the over 270 year old Masuichi Sake Brewery. Browse for chestnut sweets and crafts. **Zenkoji Temple** One of Japan's most revered Buddhist temples with nearly 1,400 years of history. Home to the first Buddhist image brought to Japan in the 6th century, welcoming all sects. Surrounded by 39 sub-temples and lantern-lit shops.
