Destination: Jigokudani (Hell Valley) in Nagano Prefecture, Japan
Course: Tokyo - (Shinkansen) – Nagano - (Bus) - Kanbayashi Onsen - (Walk) – Jigokudani (Korakukan Inn) Partner: Kikko and Tracey
We took non-reserved seats of Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano. We all could get seats.
It took 1 hour and 45 minutes from Tokyo to Nagano by Shinkansen (7450 yen).
We took 14:40 bus from East exit of Nagano Station to Kanbayashi Onsen, arriving at 15:21 (1250 yen.)
[We got off at Kanbayashi Onsen together, 我々は一緒に上林温泉入口で下車した、우리는 함께 칸바 야시 온천 입구에서 하차했다.]
The distance from the bus-stop to Korakukan in Jigokudani is about 2 km. It was mostly frozen icy trail, no taxi available.

Since my wife had backache, I was afraid that it was a bit too hard for her. But she could manage to walk well.

Tracey brought climbing irons and she put them under hiking boots. She walked carefully so it took almost one hour from the bus stop to the inn.

There were 5 passengers got off at the bus stop. Besides us, a foreign couple got off at the same bus stop.
We soon began talking each other. They were an Australian couple, Rod and Robyn. They were to stay at the same inn as ours.
When we came close to the inn, we noticed that some monkeys here and there along the river.

After checking in, I was ready to visit Monkey Park first. So, I went out of the inn and waited for Tracey and Kikko.

Soon I noticed there were many wild monkeys around the inn. So I began to take pictures.
[Monkeys I saw around the inn, 旅館の周りをうろつくサルたち、원숭이가 여관 주위를 서성 거리고 있었다.]
While I was taking pictures, my wife and Tracey went to Monkey Park from the other side of exit, while I was waiting for them at the main gate.
Therefore, we missed each other, and they visited Monkey Park where mother monkeys and baby monkeys taking spa!

When I went to Monkey Park alone, it was too late. All monkeys finished taking spa and gone to the mountains.
I decided to visit Monkey next day and we went to have dinner at the inn.
The dinner was nice and we ordered beer for the dinner. Rod and Robyn sat close to our seats. They were having Japanese sake.
We drank together, and exchanged more information about each other.
Their daughter is an English teacher in China. So they visited their daughter in China. On their way back to Australia, they visited Japan.
We felt good and wanted to talk more. So we invited Rod and Robyn to our room. On our way to go to our room, we met an interesting Japanese youth who spoke English.
[Outside of our room in the inn, 後楽館の廊下にて、코락관 복도에서]
His name is Hiroshi. Hiroshi was staying with two of his friends. So I invited them all to our room.

The three youth came from Kansai area. One of them was practicing Budhist sutra. Acturally he performed “sutra” chanting!

We felt like we were all friends. I invited them to climb Korean mountains with AhToSan in Korea.

分類：旅行、長野県、地獄谷温泉
月日：2012年12月31日、晴れ後曇り
旅行地：長野県、地獄谷温泉
コース：東京→(新幹線)→長野→(急行バス)→上林温泉入口～(徒歩)～地獄谷
同行者：Kikko, Tracey
トレイシーと喜久子を連れ、東京から長野まで新幹線自由席。新幹線は早めに並んだので3人並びで席がとれた。
長野駅東口のバス停は分かりやすく時間通り(14:40)にバスが出た。
長野駅を出発して40分ほどで上林温泉入口のバス停に到着。いっしょに降りた中年の夫婦はオーストラリア人で、娘が中国で働いていて、中国旅行の後、日本を訪れたと言う。
[We got off at Kanbayashi Onsen together, 我々は一緒に上林温泉入口で下車した、우리는 함께 칸바 야시 온천 입구에서 하차했다.]
上林温泉はバス停から徒歩10分ほど。地獄谷はさらに渓谷沿いに2キロ、凍った雪道を進まねばならない。

トレイシーは持参したアイゼンを装着し、注意深く歩いた。喜久子は意外にも軽快に滑りやすい道を歩いた。

途中、外国人の団体に追い越されたが、彼らもオーストラリア人だという。スノーマンキーはオーストラリアで有名なのかもしれない。
途中、屋根とベンチがある亭子があり、スノーマンキーの大きな写真が飾ってあった。

予約した後楽館は渓流沿いの道の反対側にあり、道沿いに進むと餌付けに成功したという「野猿公苑」がある。
野猿公苑と後楽館の間には地面から空中に吹き上げる噴泉があり、小さな橋を渡ると後楽館の入り口に続く。

チェックインを済ませて野猿公苑へ行くために先に外へ出てトレイシーを待った。その間、サルが旅館の周りをうろついているのが珍しく写真を撮っていたが、喜久子とトレイシーが宿を出たのに気付かず、行き違いになってしまった。
[Monkeys I saw around the inn, 旅館の周りをうろつくサルたち、원숭이가 여관 주위를 서성 거리고 있었다.]
このため、二人はサルが温泉に入るところを見学できたが、私は宿の周りのサルしか見ることができなかった。

宿の温泉は、内風呂が火傷をするくらい熱くて入れない。やむを得ず露天風呂へ行くとなんと男女混浴だった。 風呂から上がって、食堂での夕食はメインディシュが鴨鍋で、近くにバス停でいっしょに降りたオーストラリア人の夫婦がいたので話しかけた。
二人の名前はロッドとロビンで、ロッドは日本酒の御燗を飲んでいた。
食後に我々の部屋で宴会の続きをしようということになり、2階の廊下で偶然に会った人々と記念写真を撮ろうとしたら、たまたま通りかかった関西の若者「ヒロシ」が写真の中におさまった。彼とその友人二人も部屋に呼んで7人で宴会になった。

周りでは迷惑をしたかも知れないがたのしいおしゃべりをして、私は露天風呂へまた入浴した。

私の帰りが遅いので心配した喜久子が露天風呂へ来たので写真を撮ってもらったりした。
大晦日はいつもなら紅白歌合戦をテレビで見て過ごすのだが、今回は大宴会で、さらに年越しそばもごちそうになった。
