Fantastic afternoon tour. The monkeys did not disappoint, we were there for the afternoon. feeding time so we were very fortunate to see so many of them running around and through the crowds without hesitation. Our guide Rosella was brilliant! She was organised, accommodating and so funny! Her knowledge of the local areas and the monkey park was substantial - no question went unanswered. would absolutely recommend you take this tour with Rosella.

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!!!! This was so much fun and not only did we get to learn about the town and the ppl that lives there, but the guide also informed us about her experiences and told about how the town inspired studio ghibli movie "spirited away". make sure you listen to the guide, she will give you pointers on how to walk to get to the monkeys 🐒. also if you have plans for after this event make sure you give yourself an hour and a half or two hours as a buffer time. though we didn't have issues the guide informed us of there last tour and how the road conditions and power outage made people delayed for things. luckily even the train was delayed because of the weather condition causing problems.

Tom was an amazing guide with so much knowledge on all of the areas we’re passing through, the monkeys, while there weren’t many due to the time of year, we’re so cute super unbothered by everything. Our guide was so patient and happy to give us any and all information regarding anything we went past including facts about the farms in the area. 10/10 would recommend

we had so much fun on this tour and our guide was amazing, she had a great sense of humour and was so knowledgeable about the apple orchards and ski mountains, pretty much everything we passed on the way to the monkeys she would tell us something about it, I can’t remember her name but she is from Italy and made us feel like we were just on a day trip with a friend! when we got to the monkey park it was an easy walk up to where they were, stopped and got the yummiest apple pie on the way up and wow there was monkeys everywhere and they’re so calm and just walk straight past you, they were so cute, definitely recommend this tour! 😊

The guide was very helpful and taught us about the history and many customs of the area, from Nozawa Onsen to the Monkey Park and Shibu Onsen. The hike to the Monkey Park was a bit challenging, but seeing the monkeys bathing in the onsen was an incredible experience. After that, we stopped at a brewery before heading into Shibu Onsen, where our guide answered questions and showed us some interesting parts of town. She took us to several beautiful sights in Shibu Onsen, and my favorite was the ryokan that inspired the bathhouse in Spirited Away.

The Nagano Snow Monkeys tour was a great experience and very well organized. The guide made everything easy to understand and the transportation was smooth. Seeing the snow monkeys up close in their natural environment was incredible and something really unique to Japan. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nagano.

Absolutely amazing experience! The Snow Monkey Park tour will remain forever in our hearts.
Our guide was perfect — incredibly kind, attentive, and caring with everyone in the group. Throughout the tour, it was clear how much she truly cared about each person. A moment that touched us deeply was when she kindly offered me her own hat so I wouldn’t feel cold. Such a thoughtful and heartfelt gesture.
The driver also deserves special praise for his excellent and safe driving, especially in snowy conditions, which made the journey very comfortable and reassuring.
Highly recommended! This tour was truly unforgettable.

The tour were really on time, but i didn’t feel rushed. i think we all had enough time to do our own thing in every stop we took. i was traveling solo, and the guide, Tome, really took care everyone in our party. i would recommend this tour for everyone.
