Jigokudani Yaen-koen is home to hundreds of “snow monkeys”, known as such because they spend their days soaking in the mountainous hot springs. In 1970 they appeared on the cover of Life magazine in the U.S. due to this unique behaviour. Furthermore, in 1998, when the winter Olympic Games was held in Nagano, lots of athletes, media, and tourists from foreign countries visited.
Monkeys don’t soak in the hot spring in the warm season because they bathe in order to prevent from the severe coldness in winter. Soaking in the hot spring is only one part of the monkeys’ life. You can also see them lazing or frolicking on the nearby mountain and forest.

Tamio was brilliant

5.00I travelled Solo and the guide Tamio an affable older gentleman was very pleasant, knowledgeable and was even able to help me buy my Shinkansen tickets. The snow monkeys were exactly as expected though I understand got lucky with the weather as they don't soak in certain conditions. All and all a fantastic experience. One note it is a hike to get to the monkeys so I can only recommend this experience to those comfortable with hiking about 2 miles (one there and one back approximately) on rough uneven and in the snow icy and slippery trails.
Useless like having no tour guide

1.00The tour guide was late she showed up 10 minutes late. Her picture was 10 year younger than the actual one in person. She was the worst tour guys I every had with Vistor in 20 plus years I have used Viator in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Australia , New Zealand and Many more countries through out my 20 years using Viator. She was the worst ever. We could have easily just gone online and bought the entrance tickets and train & bus ride. First she didn’t wait for us and raced forward without even looking back and had to run to catch up with her my girlfriend lagged further behind and told her she is the tour guide and needs to stay with my girlfriend to make sure she was okay. She then after one hour stay with her then she didn’t and told me she need me . I told her I have to keep moving forward and she needs to make sure she was okay then she need med her inhaler so I went back to give it to her but it took me awhile since I sprain my ankle a few days ago and was walking slower than normal but a steady pace. We had only 20 minutes at the monkey hot springs but it was enough since they were not swimming in the hot springs but climbing and playing around the rocks tell they all came running to the park ranger who was feeding them that afternoon around 2:30-3pm. She the. Said lets go before they feed the monkey and we started our climb back down she told us not to use the bathroom up there since the one nicer down below but she quickly left both my girlfriend and I and charged ahead not even looking back she was a good 10-15 minutes ahead of me and 20 -25 minutes before my girlfriend there was k my us I. Her tour now I know why. She probably got some other bad reviews! She charge ahead to go to the bathroom and I could see she disappeared in the building but as I was approaching she came out drinking her water! She never once during the 3 hours of we needed some water. So the cost of the tickets was less than $50 each so the was paid over $200 for nothing! There was no other tour guide and about 75 to over 100 people walked up the trail without any guide. She did not say one word about the monkeys or history or nothing she was so useless the tour was 100percent waste of money we could do it by our self she didn’t stay with us so it was like we didn’t even have a tour guide plus she could even spend 50 cent for water to give us. Wow what is Viator doing hiring such a bad terrible tour guide. Never again!
Fabulous Experience

5.00Our Viator Tour Guide Hori was excellent. He was thoroughly knowledgeable about the Fabulous Snow Monkeys, professional and so interesting to talk with. He even found us the 3 day old new baby with its mother. Our experience with the snow monkeys was once in a lifetime and it was magic watching them interact, bathe in the pool, play, cuddle, vie for food, etc. This is an experience no one should miss if they have the chance.
Great experience.

5.00Such a great experience. Our guide had a wealth of experience and knowledge, happy to share and answer any questions. Ever thought it rained there was no pressure to hurry. It was a little late in the season but still good to see the monkeys.
Snow monkeys with a knowledgeable local guide.

5.00Our wonderful guide Hori met us on the train from Nagano to Yudanaka, having provided clear instructions the day prior. Excellent advice on footwear and clothing was sent by Hori prior to the excursion and was spot on, meaning we had a very comfortable day even with the cool temperature and light snow. The visit to see the snow monkeys was greatly enhanced by Hori's knowledge of the history and geography of the area and lives of the monkeys. Hori is professional and friendly and we had a fantastic time. The monkeys are amazing to watch and come very close to you. It is such a treat to see free and wild monkeys so well treated and able to come and go as they allow visitors to observe their lives. Thank you Hori, we highly recommend this trip as well as the one to Obuse if you have time for both.

5.00Teddy was a brilliant guide, and the monkeys are such a great sight. The walk was easy but beautiful. The snacks on the way up are delicious; it was snowing when we visited and a hot tea and roast sweet potato were welcome!

Absolutely number ONE visit in Japan 🇯🇵

5.00Absolutely awesome experience. It was number one ☝️ place that mum and I loved to go in Japan. One of the most memorable places we visited. Very easy and comfortable access using the local trains and the whole way to make it was absolutely enjoyable. The comforting atmosphere, the beautiful views and the friendly Japanese people made us feel so welcome. We also had the better guide where we highly recommend. Extremely friendly he guided us with care (specially with my mum) on the slippery path towards to see the monkeys. During our walk we share the awesome views of the white mountains 🏔️ along with the local culture history. On the way back Tamio share with us more about Japanese culture and guided us to one of the great traditional Japanese restaurant where we could experienced and explore the cuisine tasting “hot sake”, fried tofu and other delicious dishes. Thank you so much Tamio for showing us a bit more of your amazing culture and for the amazing experience in Japan.

5.00I highly recommend this tour, the experience is incredible, the views, the sensation you feel when walking through the park and taking you to the final destination with the beautiful monkeys is inexplicable. The best of all is that you take a guide who tells you, explains, guides, takes care of you and even photographers because he takes photos of you in the best moments. I highly recommend Tamio, he is an incredible person and we were fortunate that he was our great guide and lived this entire experience that he discussed with us. Likewise, at the end of the walk he took us almost to our final destination so as not to get lost and we had a delicious hot drink to take away the cold since we got a lot of snow. I highly recommend going in December and getting snow is an incredible experience. Do not hesitate to book this tour and ask Tamio as your guide. Thank you for everything, Tamio.
