Hi All,
When using the construction masu stem + にいく in a compound sentence. Do you only need one にいく at the end of the following sentence.
In Engish the statement would be I am going to Nagano Prefecture to ski and see the Monkeys.

長野県にスキイして日本猿を見いく。

よろしくお願いします

長野にスキーをしにと、日本猿を見に行く。

or

Interesting. I'm not sure I've ever tried to say something like that. I'd say you have a few options, one with masuにいく and one with ために.

スキーをし、日本猿を見に長野県に行く。 (or maybe 長野県にスキーをし、日本猿を見に行く。)

スキーと日本猿を見学するために長野県に行く。

I'm not sure how well those work or what better options would be, though.

[Edit] Never mind. There's my answer. ha

[Edit 2] Yeah, I guess my first versions say something different, like "I'm going to ski, then I'm going to go see the monkeys in Nagano." Whoops.

長野にスキーと日本猿を見に行く could be misinterpreted "to go to see ski and the monkeys", that's why "をしに" is there. If the order of the words is in reverse, スキーに行く can be used as in 長野に日本猿を見にとスキーに行く. I think 長野に行ってスキーをして日本猿を見る sounds more natural, though.

What about スキーと日本猿を見学するために長野県に行く?

It's the same. スキー and 日本猿 both can be the objects of 見学する. スキーを見学する is not so common, so it's far better than my example スキーと日本猿を見に行く, though.

Would スキーのため（に）と日本猿を見学するために長野県に行く be too stiff? Or would スキー（を）するため（に）と日本猿を見学するために長野県に行く be better?

I think 日本猿の見学/見物とスキーをしに行く is the best order of words without ambiguity when using 日本猿, 見学/見物 and スキー.
