    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 😅

    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!

    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!

    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?

    • @DaydreamInJapan
      @DaydreamInJapan  3 місяці тому +1

      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.
