Things to do in Yudanaka in October!!

1)Go to Mount SHIRANE
We went there by bus, bus leave at 8:17am from bus stop kanbayashi of course Yumoto san drove us and told us about this mountain all so told us to see it and it is not disappointed. We arrived at the mountain around 9:30am. We paid 1,000yen per person,
With our little Japanese language knowledge, we think that the ticket is for 1 day to travel around the area and we got it from the bus driver (but double check, we may misunderstood ) After you arrived at the mountain with the mountain in the front, walk to the left, up the mountain about 10-15minutes to see the crater. It is beautiful. On the way back, we took 10:50am bus to Hasuike and changed bus bound for Yudanaka Station. At Hasuike in October the autumn foliage is so beautiful with leave in red and yellow. It is so good that we have to change the bus here.
2) Monkey park
From Hasuike, we got on 12:13bus to Kanbayashi Onsen then walk about 30mints to the monkey park, may not that spectacular compare to the time it snow but it is quite an experience we saw couple of monkeys taking a bath.
3) Walk through Shibu Onsen
From Monkey Park, we walked back to Shibu Onsen, bought souvenir towel to collect stamp from 9 public bath. As Yumoto san said to keep it as good memory.
4) Go to "ASASHINAYA " and "TAMAYA" restaurant.
At ASASHINAYA for soba Yumoto san drove and the owner took us back to the hotel.
At TAMAYA for Chanko Nabe and fried chicken with teriyaki sauce. Both restaurants have English menu, friendly owners, good & delicious food and we got souvenirs from both places.
5) Take out door onsen during sunset.
Yumoto san recommend us to go to onsen up in the mountain,of course he drove us there and picked us up after 1 hour we booked private onsen and it is great with the view of the town.
Al the things we have written about, we got it from Yumoto san
So whatever he recommend you do " Just do it " and will not be disappointed.

Thank you Yumoto san for the hospitality. It will be in our memory, we will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends who want to YUDANAKA !!

??Open-air bath??
If you wish to experience an open-air bath(Roten-buro)with a spectacular view of the sunset. 'Tomi-no-yu' located five minutes away from our hotel,
with only 2,500 you can enjoy the excellent view of Yudanaka countryside with private bath for 50 minutes .it is highly recommended and worthwhile to pay a visit.
The private bath has an amazing and gorgeous view. If you can spare the cost, it is most definitely worth it. Definitely a memorable, unforgettable experience.

#Obuse attraction#
?Ganshouin Temple?
Ganshoin Temple houses a painting of the Ho'o (Phenix)by the famous painter Hokusi
which was painted near the end of his life.The painting is located on the celing of the temple and is quite beautiful. Admission to the temple is 300 Yen for 1 person.there is there is also a beautiful pond and garden which is home to a variety of Frogs/toads for which the temple seems to pay homage to.
Ganshoin is a little far from the station.If you are walking it is not that difficult to get to, just follow the signs on the roads(there are many to help you set thete)
the kanji for the temple is GANSHOUIN so keep a Kanji for there character in case you
get lost!
There is also asouvenior shop that sells many nice Obuse products in front of the temple.Also,if you find yourself liking Hokusai's phoenix painting you can buy a poster of it from the gift shop in the temple itself. ?Hokusai is famous for painting the picture of the waves crashing in the Japanese sea. If you wan to see more of his painting there is a Museum in Obuse called the 'Hokusai Museum'which is located bout 10 minutes(walking)from the station. ?Ask the Front desk(owner)of the Ryokan for an English Map of Obuse,it is very detailed and will get you were need to go!

#Senseki-tei#?(Chestnuts.Soba)
Senseki-tei is a restaurant that specialize in chestnut rice and Zaru soba
and is quiet delicious. The staff were very Friendly and helpful should you have any question about the surrounding shop/area. If you are a light eater (or don't want to be stuffed) I recommend you get the kuriwappa set (1,207 Yen) which consists of chestnut rice,miso soup salad pickled vegetables, a pot of tea and egg-pudding like dish
(sorry, no soba included). There are also much larger sets that include soba,tempur,and the above mentioned dishes but cost little more. There is a display in front of the restaurant of all the dishes they serve and price.
Beside the restaurant is a Gift shop that sell many sweets made from chest nuts,
as well as some chestnut rice to take back home,
?Kurinoki Terasu (sweet Shop)
Around the corner from Senseki-tei is Kirinoki-terasu which is a caf'/sweets shop. It's
Mont Blanc pastries and the many varieties of teas it serves.The caf' is very spa
and clean and the atmosphere is very nice. Get the Mon Blanc ,it's really yummy!
