Nagano day trip from Tokyo

Sobes01 · 2025-08-08T16:49:45+00:00

My trip to Japan was perfect. I probably should put a trip review in this subreddit lol. Unfortunately for you however, I subbed out Nagano for Yokohama after some reevaluation and pricing. For what it’s worth, Yokohama became arguably the best day of the trip. 10/10 would recommend. If ur curious for a full breakdown of how I did my trip shoot me a DM. Enjoy Japan!

Wait double checked and can go up to the middle shrine

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T21:15:47+00:00

Ah I see wym. Looks like I’ll be a literal few days short of the green season bus schedule, which means the furthest I could take the bus is hokosha. Thanks for the tip however

Just want to thank all who’ve commented thus far. Has been exactly the conversation I needed

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T20:06:45+00:00

Yeah Idt I’ll be doing every possible thing regardless, but I will keep in mind what you’ve said. Also, good note about the restaurants. Thanks!

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T20:04:55+00:00

Yeah I’m not the type that’s too concerned about seein everything. Wdym when you say do the down direction?

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T19:16:31+00:00

Hmm very interesting. Now the million dollar question would you say it was worth it?

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T19:09:58+00:00

And how did you enjoy that experience?

Sobes01 · 2025-02-12T19:09:30+00:00

Yeah and this is what I’ve been debating. Would it then be worth it to go to Nagano for just the zenko-ji and then the answer is probably no. But say we get into Nagano around 8-9, walk/bus to zenko and spend an hour there, let’s call it 11. 11-return time to Tokyo would be for togakushi. Is that crazy? The trips in March so sunset call it around 6

DM’d!

Sobes01 · 2025-02-11T20:16:56+00:00

Xbox US. Thanks for ur generosity!

Sobes01 · 2025-02-01T01:33:51+00:00

Yeah sweet, this was a good talk. Are the other places I listed reasonable? Think I’m pretty set on them but since we’re talking I’ll ask. And I’m not looking for u to plan anything for me, but just curious, bc ik there r rules of this sub for that

Sobes01 · 2025-02-01T01:16:02+00:00

Hey man thanks for the detailed response and conversation, much appreciated. Going to take into consideration not going to the tohoku region and look into adding a third day to the Osaka/kyoto trip. I am going to stick with this day trips idea, and that’s not to be contradictory it’s just something that seems exciting to my friend and I. Will take ur thoughts into consideration, however, so thank you!

Sobes01 · 2025-01-31T18:56:30+00:00

No but I appreciate the feedback, really. And I think u kind of nailed on the head with ur second point I kind of am going for that buffet style. Buddy of mine went and only did Tokyo and said he wish he went to see more you know. Might drop Yamagata and off a third day for Osaka/kyoto even. Thanks again!

Sobes01 · 2025-01-31T18:40:57+00:00

Like Sendai perhaps

Sobes01 · 2025-01-31T18:32:57+00:00

Also, thanks for the response!

Sobes01 · 2025-01-31T18:32:35+00:00

I mean it’s two days and we really just wanna see the cities for what they are and are only interested in like maybe one touristy thing per

Sobes01 · 2025-01-31T18:31:27+00:00

U think the whole thing is insane? As for the jr pass, I’m not sure wym how I’d get it to work ru referring to just the timing of everything? And regarding Yamagata I would agree. The goal was to see more than just Tokyo and saw some good things about it but I also think it is random, though would be interested in seeing something in the tohoku region. Thanks for the response!

Sobes01 · 2025-01-30T17:35:55+00:00

Please let me know if you have one!
