It was a wonderful tour with a lovely tour guide, Hana, same name with sakura. I am glad I booked this daytrip. It was informative and well executed tour despite of a long ride in the bus. First, we stopped by to have a sumptuous beef sukiyaki lunch. Then proceeded to hiking for 40minutes to see cute snow monkeys bathing in hot spring. Please bring cleats or anti slip gear for shoes, to avoid accidents during hiking. So thankful, all of us were mindful of the given time thus we we’re able to complete the itinerary. The last stop was the Kamakura Snow Dome Village. So glad to experience my first snow in Nagano. Truly memorable and magical experience. Arigathanks 🌸💕

It was a loongg drive to see the monkeys—but Rico, our tour guide, is well prepared with her informative and entertaining presentation about the monkeys and the place! She shared information even with the food. Her explanation guided us on what to expect. The best tour guide we’ve ever had!The path to the monkeys is manageable, but some portions are indeed icy and slippery.

Although it is a long day, it was very much worth it to see the monkeys and the snow huts. Rico, along with both bus drivers, were very friendly and welcoming to us and my 4 year old. If considering bringing kids, please do note that the walk up and walk down is roughly about 40 mins each way for the monekys. Rico was very clear on the itinerary, instructions and return time. The sukiyaki lunch was good and during this stop, you can also buy souvenirs too. Since it was a long bus ride, there were stops to use the restroom and buy snacks. Overall, a great experience and would recommend to others who want a worry-free experience to see the monkeys and snow huts.

I had an amazing time! Shoutout to my guide Rico who was the sweetest most understanding guide ever and she was full of life and happiness. She handled the slight delay we had really well while still including everything, and her food recommendations at every stop were really helpful, everything was so delicious. The monkeys were also soo cute! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and experience filled day trip.

This snow monkey tour was amazing! 🐒 Although the bus ride was a bit long (about three hours each way), there were rest stops along the way, so it was okay, I just took a nap and arrived. Once we arrived, we had to walk a bit on a snowy mountain road (very slippery, I slipped and fell 😭). But the tour guide was selling shoe spikes at the beginning, I just didn't buy them 🤣. Speaking of the tour guide, Rico San was a very friendly and reliable tour guide! After arriving at the Jigokudani Monkey Park, we saw a lot of little monkeys, super cute! But remember to remember—don't bring plastic bags!! Otherwise, they will think you have food and then they will come to snatch it (I was attacked three times 🤣). I was satisfied with the whole trip, and the lunch was also delicious. It's definitely worth it for those who are not on a self-driving tour. Just taking the bus by yourself would cost the same as this tour, and this tour price includes the bus, lunch, and park entrance tickets, so it's very worthwhile! Highly recommend!

What an experience well I’m so happy I went. I got the best pictures. All of my friends said they have never seen Japan like this before and it’s true. This is not your typical Japan tour really highly recommend.

Awesome food & awesome guide that explained a lot while on the drive up! the Snow Monkeys did not disappoint! Be prepared for si icy, muddy trails &:wear hiking boots! I saw a lot of white tennis shoes (but not for long)! The mud will splash a bit too! It was on the back if my legs. Dress appropriately, it's cold 🥶 but so worth it!
