For this tour, if we provide train tickets: we will send train tickets to the guests’ hotel in Tokyo (the hotel which guests are staying at before their Nagano trip). Please provide: 1) Hotel Name in Tokyo, 2) Guest Name who booked the hotel, 3) Confirmation Number, and 4) Dates of Stay at the hotel in Tokyo.
Snow Monkeys in warmer seasons: The snow starts to melt in March, and the snow monkeys may not bathe as often as they did in the winter to keep warm. Guests may see the snow monkeys taking a swim as the park staff gives them lunch, but unlike winter months, there are definitely days when the monkeys just do not feel like entering the bath. When it is warm and the sun is out, the monkeys tend to be more active and move around the area. The monkeys are more likely to be grooming in the warmer seasons. While Winter is not the only time to see snow monkeys, please note that they are wild animals and it is difficult to predict their behavior. You can still visit the Snow Monkey Park, but seeing the snow monkeys and watching them bathe is not always guaranteed.

It was a private tour with a great guide. Hori knew a lot about the region as well as the snow monkeys. Managed some great photos and then had an interesting walk around Obuse before a Sake tasting session. Worth the cost of the private guide as we were also interested in learning about the Nagano Prefecture and Hori was able to do this for us.

Our tour guide was Hori and he was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the area and history behind everything was great. Our experience was so much fun. The hike was icy when we went in March so I definitely recommend having good traction shoes or spikes to go up and down the path. It is well worth the walk to see the monkeys in their natural habitat. The Zenko-ji temple was beautiful and wonderful to walk around.

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Hori, our tour guide, took us to the snow monkey park, lunch, and Obuse. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Having someone guide you that is knowledge of the area and spoke Japanese allowed us to better focus on the experience.

We had the best time on this tour with Horiuchi Hiroaki-san as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, and friendly. The driver, Mr. Takahashi, was also excellent. It was a worry-free day thanks to our guide's wonderful planning! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Nagano but is tight on time because thanks to our guide and driver we were able to see all of the highlights in one day!

This was such a fun tour! Nori was a fantastic guide and made everything so easy. We saw Snow Monkey park and walked through Shibu Onsen. The snow monkeys were super cute. It was a little slippery because it had snowed, would recommend renting the crampons! Also would advise to not wear leggings that cover your feet as there is a fun foot bath in Shibu Onsen that you can try! Highly recommend this tour.

Hori our guide was amazing. We really enjoyed the snow monkey park where it actually snowed. We saw plenty of monkeys too. The Onsen was great and the meal was fabulous, it snowed as we ate our meal which greatly added to our experience.

By far the best part was visiting the snow monkey park. This is one of the most fun things you can do in Japan if you’re an animal lover. Way better than an owl cafe.

We had a lovely time on our private Nagano tour visiting the Jigokudani Snow Monkey park and Obuse with a tour of the Sake factory. Although it was warmer than usual so we knew there would be no guarantee of seeing the monkeys we were able to see two cute ones from afar and the hike to reach the park was beautiful in itself. Fumiko Kurasawa-san was a great tour guide, very friendly and taught us about the park and town. She struck the right balance of being present to translate and teach us while still allowing us to enjoy the locations and have our own experience. She also checked in throughout the day to make sure we were able to experience the different locations in the way we wanted to. At the Sake factory, we were interested in touring the facility and the very helpfully translated for the owner as he showed us the sake making process. Obuse was a cute town with lovely foliage and older houses and we would have never thought to tour it if it wasn't for Fumiko. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend the tour to friends in the future!
