Zenkoji Temple περιηγήσεις

謝謝Yama導遊和司機稱職親切的服務，讓大家（我們一共17人團）度過美好的一天。整個行程安排很順暢，特別是午餐，餐點美味，環境溫馨高雅，善光寺也有自己的時間，西之門的品酒讓我買到喜歡的梅酒和味增，開心極了！謝謝

We had an absolutely fantastic time with our guide Joyce. She was incredibly knowledgeable and it really helped us fully enjoy all the sights but also gave us some valuable insight into the history of the city. The oyaki restaurant felt intimate and we enjoyed sitting by the fire watching them cook. The sake tasting was also fun, we learned so much and ended up purchasing several things and sent them to our accommodation in Japan for free which was really convenient. During and after the fire ceremony, the monk leading it was kind enough to spend time answering all our questions about the temple. When you visit the main temple, don't miss out on the underground passage! Lastly, our stay at the Shukubo was the perfect way to round out our experience. The hosts were so kind, and both meals were absolutely delicious! She also gave us a great recommendation for lunch inside the station, Meijitei which had amazing local soba noodles and Katsu. Perfect fuel for our snow monkey visit! 10/10 recommend!

The trip was so much fun! One of the highlights was watching the monkeys soak in the hot springs—they were just chilling there, looking at us lazily, and it was so cute I couldn’t stop taking photos. The food was another big win; whether it was local snacks or full meals, everything tasted amazing—fresh, authentic, and so good I couldn’t get enough. Of course, the cherry blossoms were a must-see, blooming all over the place in stunning pink, like something out of a painting. Walking under those trees felt so special. And the guide? Such a nice person—always smiling, explaining things to us, and super patient with all our questions.

We loved this tour! It was fun but also easy and stress free having Dillon as our guide, and transportation via bus to all sites. Dillon had an incredible wealth of knowledge about all things Snow Monkeys, Sake, and Zenkoji Temple. We enjoyed this experience and is a highlight of our trip! Be mindful the walk to see the monkeys is long but worth it, and if you do the dark passage at the temple, it takes up a bit of your free time that you may otherwise prefer to use for exploring shops and food options.

Παρόλο που έβρεχε το βράδυ πριν από την ξενάγηση και μέχρι το πρωί υπήρχαν πολλά σύννεφα και κρύο που έβγαινε ο ατμός από το στόμα, χάρη στην ξεναγό Jeon Ara, την αυτοαποκαλούμενη «νεράιδα του καιρού», μπορέσαμε να δούμε το όρος Φούτζι στον δρόμο της επιστροφής στο Τόκιο. Ήταν ένα υπέροχο τέλος στο ταξίδι μας, καθώς ήταν ένα θέαμα που περιμέναμε με ανυπομονησία 🗻. Ήταν ωραίο που η ξεναγός Jeon Ara προσάρμοσε τη σειρά των προγραμματισμένων δραστηριοτήτων ανάλογα με τον καιρό και τις συνθήκες του χώρου, και την ευχαριστούμε για τις νόστιμες προτάσεις σνακ σε κάθε τοποθεσία και τις ακριβείς οδηγίες και εξηγήσεις της 💗. Συνειδητοποίησα ότι το να δεις το όρος Φούτζι είναι πιο δύσκολο από όσο νόμιζα και απαιτεί μεγάλη τύχη (😅). Δεδομένου ότι η θερμοκρασία είναι περίπου 5 βαθμούς χαμηλότερη από το κέντρο του Τόκιο, και τα άνθη κερασιάς είναι σε πλήρη άνθιση μέχρι τα μέσα-τέλη Απριλίου και ο καιρός είναι πιο ζεστός, θα ήταν ιδανικό να επισκεφθείτε τον Απρίλιο 🌸.

One of our most memorable days from our current trip in Japan! Everything was smooth and we had a lot of fun! We started by going to see the monkeys in the morning (which was great because it was less crowded). The lunch provided was great (we could choose beef/seafood/vegetarian for the main dish). The temple and the sake tasting were next to each other in Nagano so we only needed three long transfers by bus (about 1 hr each). Our guide Lindsay gave us plenty of context for both the monkey park and the temple and she facilitated the sake tasting (we sampled around 10 types of drinks). She was friendly, approachable for extra questions and very knowledgeable on the tour attractions and more from around Japan. I highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely perfect ! The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable without being overwhelming. First, we had some oyaki in a very nice place with very nice people. Then, some sake tasting. After, we visited Zenkoji and had some free time before the fire ceremony. Finally we learned about the tea ceremony at Tsumugi which was incredible. We slept at Ryōshōin Shukubo for the night. Midori-san was so nice and so helpful. The food was incredible. The next day, we went to the morning ceremony then to the crypt. The guide was extremely energetic at 6am and seemed a little bit miffed at realising that the guide we had the day before had basically told us a lot about Zenkoji already. Everything was seriously great and I definitely recommend. Even the terrible weather we had couldn't put a damper on that wonderful day.

amazing tour guide and driver. Joyce is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional in doing what she need to do. the lunch is amazing. and she also give good recommendations of where are the local good food after we depart from nagano. but price for this tour is on a higher side.
