eep! monkeys!

Phew.  After just arriving in Japan on Wedesday night, I figured come the weekend, I'd need a break. Having already done most of the big touristy places that are nearby (Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe) it's now time for us to try and visit either the remaining big touristy places that are further away (Okinawa, Nagasaki & Hokkaido) or some more obscure places. Our failed trip to the Ninja village wasn't the best start, but this weekend, we decided to try another semi-obscure place again.

So the whole point of the trip to Nagano, which included about 3 hours travel each way and an overnight stay? 


Monkeys. 


Well, not just monkeys. Monkeys taking baths. In the snow. That's pretty much it. But totally worth it.
