The Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani Monkey Park in NaganoHot springs or onsen is a nice Japanese treat to come across especially during winter. It seems like monkeys in Japan also enjoy a good soak on a cold day. Come to see the snow monkeys at Jigokudani monkey park not far from Shigakogen.#chubu#tour#monkey

A Cool-Weather Excursion to Toyota City: Cherry Blossoms & Red LeavesGlorious autumn leaves, crisp breezes, and pink petals floating in the wind... the city of Toyota in Aichi Prefecture might bring to mind automobiles for many, but when summer ends and the weather turns cool and comfortable, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better fall destination (for a number of reasons). This city has some gorgeous views to offer, including cherry blossoms... in autumn! (A true rarity.) And the lush fall foliage of the famous Korankei Gorge spreads across the skyline, illuminated from below after sunset. Whether you're interested in cars or not, there's plenty of things to do in Toyota City!#chubu#tour#cherry blossoms

The Gorgeous Old Kominka Homes & Other Charms of Matsumoto City's Shiga AreaKominka houses are the beautiful, old-fashioned Japanese homes that many travelers imagine when they think of Japanese architecture. They often have tatami mat floors or thatched roofs, and long, sturdy beams that run across the length of the house, holding up the roof with the power of one long-felled tree. Kominka are wonderful examples of the cultural treasures produced and preserved by hundreds of years of Japanese history, but most modern citizens tend to go for modern architecture and newly built houses these days, which means that there are fewer and fewer of these old-fashioned homes around every year. That's why it was such a treat for the JAPANKURU team to travel to Matsumoto City in Nagano this fall, and spend a few days engaging in some agritourism and exploring all the charming nooks and crannies of the picturesque kominka being restored and utilized in the city's Shiga area.#chubu#accommodation#kominka
