Before leaving Yudanaka, we went for a visit to the Snow Monkey park. It was drizzling on this morning, thus the forest trail is muddy.
The trail itself is 1.6km. Says will take 25mins to walk on the signboard, but it took our group nearly 50mins and we did walked quite briskly...

Upon arrival at Nagano, the hubby and I said goodbye to my aunts and families, since they will be heading back to Tokyo...whereas hubby and I will continue our trip within Nagano for a couple more days.
We went to check in to our hotel for the night (Chisun Grand Hotel Nagano)

We dumped our bags in the room, and went out to Zenkoji Temple.
The Nagaden train to the nearest train station is pretty infrequent, so it's better to just take a bus from the bus stop in front of Nagano train station.

| Since I don't take vegs (nor fruits), so my hubby gave this a try, and he says it's pretty nice. |
Since we had a very packed itinerary for the past couple of days at Tokyo (waking up at 6am and sleeping past midnight almost every day), so we decided to just buy some food back to our hotel room for late lunch-early dinner. Was sooo tired that we just dozed off while watching some tv around 5plus and then woke up at 10plus at night. Got hungry again so went out to a nearby convenience store to buy some bento set for supper.
