On the way back, enjoy a stop in Obuse, a beautiful town known for its historic streets, museums, and chestnut sweets. After spending a few hours, your driver will take you back to JR Nagano Station.

1: The driver can understand basic English, but communication may be limited. They will use a translation app if needed. We recommend planning your itinerary in advance to ensure a smooth experience.

2: Monkeys don't soak in the hot spring in the warm season because they bathe in order to prevent from the severe coldness in winter.
