Hiroshi our tour guide was fantastic! He told us lots of fun facts and stories about the locations we visited and really helped us appreciate the city of Nagano as a local himself. We learned a lot and enjoyed all of the recommendations he provided for food and places to stop at along the way. Ended up seeing two monkeys at the park, but not bathing as can happen during mating season, but Hiroshi and our driver took us to an alternate location at a small, nearby onsen town which was an enjoyable and scenic place as well!
