Shibu Onsen

The Kenroku-en garden first thing to see if it was quiet-free in if you’re early but you have to leave by 6.45!

Kakayaki Shinkansen to Nagano, noodles in the station then the snow monkey express to Yudunaka and a lift to our Ryokan.

Hot spring bath ( twice) , a walk to Shibu Onsen, set dinner. Feeling relaxed in our multi-purpose pyjamas.
