Snow Monkey Park (jigokudani Yaen Koen)
Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, located in the mountains of Nagano, is famous for its wild Japanese macaques, commonly known as snow monkeys. These monkeys are known for their unique behavior of soaking in natural hot springs during the cold winter months, providing visitors with a rare opportunity to observe wildlife up close in their natural habitat. Experience: Visitors can enjoy a scenic hike through the forest to reach the park and witness the snow monkeys relaxing in the hot springs. It's a chance to see these animals up close and observe their interactions in a stunning natural setting. *At Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, visitors enjoy a 30-40-minute scenic walk through the forest to reach the viewing area. *An admission fee is required: Adults: 800 yen, Children: 400 yen. (Children under 6 years old are free of charge.)
Togakushi Shrine
Togakushi Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine located in the mountains northwest of Nagano City. It is famous for its sacred cedar tree-lined path and consists of three main shrine areas: the Lower Shrine (Hokosha), the Middle Shrine (Chusha), and the Upper Shrine (Okusha), each offering different experiences. The area is also known for its connection to ninja history and traditional soba noodles. Experience: Visitors can walk through the ancient cedar avenue leading to the Upper Shrine, offering a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere.

5.00Great guide, Shuhei was knowledgeable and friendly. He was a very safe driver too on the snowy roads. Fantastic trip altogether. The monkeys were worth the drive.
Wonderful day with the monkeys and snow.

5.00We had been debating between going ourselves, doing a group tour or a private tour and we were so glad for what we did. Dai was awesome, he accommodated our pace, provided all kinds of interesting information and context, and even took some great pictures of us! We booked pretty last minute and we were really grateful they were able to accommodate us. Dai spoke excellent English and even took us on a farmers market stop on the way back!

5.00Would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Dai helped us have a wonderful day getting to the snow monkey park early in time for the feeding and before the crowds. He then took us to a fabulous traditional soba noodle restaurant near the shrine for lunch, and then a wonderful visit to the upper shrine gates via a magical walk through the snow. We loved it and would do again. Thanks Dai!!
Fantastic experience!

5.00Wonderful tour with a great balance of nature and culture. Seeing the snow monkeys in their natural environment was a truly unique experience, and the visit Togakushi Shrine was peaceful and stunning. Our guide Chris was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly while sharing great insights along the way. Chris shared great insights into the culture, history, and local traditions, which made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nagano—it’s the perfect combination of nature, culture, and unforgettable memories.
Perfect winter experience in Nagano!

5.00So glad we booked this private tour—such a fun day with our amazing guide Taketo (Take)! From seeing tons of snow monkeys to a stunning snow-covered walk beneath Togakushi’s towering cedar trees, such a special day. For lunch, we had authentic Nagano buckwheat soba at a cozy, OG family-owned spot. Take also captured beautiful photos along the way—which made for perfect souvenirs. This tour was worth it, highly recommend!

5.00It was great - we visited both locations, saw the monkeys and also the guide get us to some interesting local sights like apple farms or the beautiful lake with the view. The guide also was great and very friendly. Highly recommend
Highly reccomend! Hundreds of snow monkeys and a 4,000 year old sacred place

5.00Highly recommend this tour! Chris picked us up promptly at 9am at our hotel. He had already checked the “monkey cam” and suggested we reverse the usual tour order to possibly see more monkeys in the afternoon, and we saw HUNDREDS of monkeys in the afternoon! Absolutely thrilling. The morning was spent at Togakushi shrine and along the cedar snow lined path that was gorgeous. Chris was kind and engaging, allowing us to set the pace and he took many souvenir photos for and of us. He dropped us off about 5:30 pm at a restaurant he recommended for supper near our hotel that was outstanding 👍 We chose to walk all the way to the shrine and wore tennis shoes with wool socks on the sometimes slushy trail. We were lucky to see the monkeys, who had been to the hot springs about 6 of the last 30 days this time of year. Altogether both trails were a few easy miles, which we enjoyed.
Tour description should make it clear that this is a tour only for winter months.

1.00Huge disappointment as this is not the season for snow monkeys. Only went to the Togakushi Shrine. Don’t book!
