thank you for this wonderful vlog it made me excited for my nagano trip in january 🥹 i’ll be staying for 2 nights and will be visiting the snow monkey park, togakushi shrine, exloring the city & now i’m considering hakuba too thanks to you! it’ll also be my first time experiencing snow. as a southeast asian, i’m a little nervous about the cold but still anticipating it 🥰
I like the alps but the monkeys are amazing too! Since Ray took 70% of the video, kudos to Ray! I’m happy you and Ray are having a great time together. Take care. 😍
Super nice talaga! Really memorable winter experience nagulat rin ako actually. Thanks also for appreciating our vlog 🥲🥹 Hope you’ll subscribe! It means a lot 😊✨
Hi, watched your vlog a few times already and I am so inspired that I have to see it for myself! Will visit Japan this Feb 2025! I have a few questions, and your response will be much appreciated! 1. What camera did you use? 😅 2. On your first day, did you stay overnight in nagano? If so, what hotel? 3. The lockers in Nagano, for how long can we leave our baggage? Do they have lockers for big luggages? 4. Did you stay in hakuba iwatake for the night? or you went back to Nagano? If in hakuba, which hotel did you rent? 5. Seems like you are living in Japan, which area near Tokyo can you recommend as well? focus on picturesque snowy landscapes. Thank youuu!
Hello! Oh wow thank you for rewatching and I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU😊 1. We use only Iphone 14 or 15 for all our videos here because we want the video capturing to be hassle free. 2. Im not super sure how long you can store luggages but i think most lockers here will just add fees for over 24hrs. And yes they have for big luggages. 3. We stayed in JAL Hotel. 4. We just did a day trip to Hakuba before going back to the city. 5. Nikko is pretty nice with snow too! We have a pending video for this 😅
Wow! Beautiful shots 😍 I'd like to ask if do you think it's possible to do a day trip only from Tokyo to Nagano if we are want to go visit Senjojiki Cirque for the alps?
Thank you for the thoughtful and interesting info on each transfer...how much from Nagano station to snow monkey mountain? Type of shoes for snowy path..thk u
New subscriber here. Great vlog! Really entertaining and informative. Made me more excited to visit Nagano in Feb. I have a few questions I hope you can answer. 1. May I know how much you spent inside Hakuba (lift/gondola tickets and other non-food expenses)? Want to visit Iwatake Resort too. 2. How much was the onsen? 3. Did the onsen require you to be naked? Thanks in advance!
Wow thanks for subscribing 💖 If we remember it right gondola was around ¥2400. Food was around ¥1k+ , onsen was around ¥600 ( you can ask iwatake for ¥100 off coupon! Forgot to add this in the video). And yes, you need to be naked in the onsen :) Have fuuun! ✨✨✨
It’s a good thing you showed the path going to the snow monkey park. I was thinking of foregoing this iti coz I thought the path was steep and slippery like the one going to Yamadera temple. I slipped on the icy stairs there twice that’s why I did not reach the peak. I guess ito- mahaba lang yung lalakarin pero madali lang ba? Am I right? Nice video!
Hello!! Can I ask how many nights did you stay in this area and where? We’ll be in Tokyo but we’ll do this as a side trip. Also, is mid-Feb still a good time to go? Thank you!
@@aristotleneilocampo825 We just stayed for 1 night. We think mid-feb is still good 😊 I think you might be able to catch the Kamakura restaurant- you can eat nabe in igloos!
@@DaydreamInJapan yeah, I mean around Iwatake area actually. Not sure if I can find some eateries around the area coz I plan not book for meals at my accommodation.
I rarely add comments to a video, but I think this one is really worth it: it is inspiring, beautiful, unpretentious and with excellent shots. Your channel deserves many more followers, keep up the good work and you will achieve it. I take this opportunity to ask you a question, is it true that you can rent snow boots when you arrive at the monkey site?
Oh wow thank you for this appreciation comment ✨ Means a lot! Hope you can follow along our journey here in Japan 💕 Re the boots, hmm I dont think we noticed a rental. But would recommend to wear boots already esp if youre going also to other parts of Nagano. It was quite cold too during January.
Konnichiwa 👋 From what country are you watching from?🐵

Hi. This is great video. 🎉 can i know what time is this? We will go end of this december.
Went to Nagano for the first time this year to hike the Nakasendo Trail. Narai-juku is a beautiful town and a must visit!
Yeah we wanted to visit this too but no time :( Maybe next time if we get to go back! Did you go there during summer? The trails look awesome!
I'm going to Hakuba in about a month, so it's nice to see some videos of what to do there. Great shots!
Oh niiice! You’ll love it! You might catch the Kamakura in Nagano- you can eat nabe in igloos :)

Wow! Beautiful shots 😍 I'd like to ask if do you think it's possible to do a day trip only from Tokyo to Nagano if we are want to go visit Senjojiki Cirque for the alps?
@@sorakang7487 Thank you for appreciating our vlog ✨ Yes nagano can be a day trip via Shinkansen but im not sure where Senjojiki Cirque is.
good sirs and ladies, may i know what month this was taken??
Thank you for the thoughtful and interesting info on each transfer...how much from Nagano station to snow monkey mountain? Type of shoes for snowy path..thk u
Thank you for appreciating the work we did 💕 Any winter boots will do. Just bought ours from GU and Donki
Lovely video ❤️.
May I please know where did you stay overnight at Nagano and how much is the rate? Thank you
So glad you loved our vlog 🥰💕 We stayed at JAL Hotel. You can check booking sites for current rayes but during our stay it was pretty reasonable :)
Thank you😊

Ooh btw you might catch the Kamakura! You can eat nabe inside an igloo! This was in our bucket list but it opens in Feb

Yes correct! It took us longer too coz we’re taking videos 😅 But yes pretty easy naman but boots are a must talaga. Have fun! 🐵🐒
❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! How much is the Iwatake Mt Resort gondola to the top (round trip)? Thank you
The gondola was around ¥2400 if we remember it right :)

@@chloelee3550 around 2 hours :)
Can we see this view in the months of December?
Are shops and restaurants open on Jan 1 or 2 in Hakuba? Any ideas?
Oh we didnt go outside iwatake. Inside the snow resort there is already a resto.
@@DaydreamInJapan yeah, I mean around Iwatake area actually. Not sure if I can find some eateries around the area coz I plan not book for meals at my accommodation.
Hii 😊 how to get back from hakuba iwatake to nagano ? I do an itinerary but confused about that
Hi you can catch the bus also at iwatake. You can ask the front desk about that too. Enjoy your trip 🎉❄️
May i ask where can i buy the map at the beginning? :) it’s very cute
Hi! I used to sell pinboard maps before moving to Japan! Im currently working on releasing digital prints :)
@@DaydreamInJapan wow, it’s adorable! i look forward to your release in the future ☺️

Covid?? Wow
Christmas celebrations are huge in the philippines so it was easy to spread during that time.
