Excursió d'hivern des de Nozawa Onsen: micos de neu, Zenko-ji i tast de sake

Un dels dies més memorables del nostre viatge actual al Japó! Tot va anar sense problemes i ens ho vam passar molt bé! Vam començar anant a veure els micos al matí (cosa que va ser genial perquè hi havia menys gent). L'àpat que ens van oferir va ser fantàstic (podíem triar vedella/marisc/vegetarià per al plat principal). El temple i el tast de sake estaven un al costat de l'altre a Nagano, així que només vam necessitar tres trasllats llargs en autobús (aproximadament 1 hora cadascun). La nostra guia Lindsay ens va donar molt de context tant per al parc dels micos com per al temple i va facilitar el tast de sake (vam provar al voltant de 10 tipus de begudes). Va ser amable, accessible per a preguntes addicionals i molt coneixedora de les atraccions del tour i de moltes altres coses del Japó. Recomano molt aquesta excursió!

Gràcies al guia turístic Yama i al conductor pel seu servei competent i amable, que va fer que tots (el nostre grup de 17 persones) passessin un dia meravellós. Tot l'itinerari va ser molt fluid, especialment el dinar, amb un menjar deliciós i un ambient càlid i elegant. També vam tenir temps lliure a Zenkoji, i el tast de sake a Nishinomon em va permetre comprar el meu umeshu i miso preferits, cosa que em va fer molt feliç! Gràcies.

This is a well organized tour. The pickup point is conveniently located at the central bus terminal. Since the weather is very cold, I stayed in the sheltered area and the tour guide took the initiative to walk through the area to fetch me. He was well prepared and reminded us to get crampons so we can walk safely during the snow season. The snow monkeys are cute and the lunch is amazing. Enjoyed striding in the historic temple and the guide shared his knowledge on its legacy which made the trip even more meaningful. Last stop to sake shop is equally fun, with traditional and fruitty sake all on offer. Overall this is wonderful trip which I highly recommend to people who don't ski or would like a day off from their skiing vacation.

Lynn our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. the snow monkeys were amazing and so cute! Lunch was delicious. And the sake tasting was also really good. Lynn again was super knowledgeable and they had non-alcoholic versions for the kiddos. the tour was well paced, with walking interrupting the bus rides.

La guia, Lin, sap molt i és molt simpàtica. A més, parla japonès, anglès i espanyol. Molt recomanable.

An amazing day, our guide Shawn was very knowledgeable, a great guide. The monkeys are very cute, and the rest of the day was great. We had an amazing day and I would highly reccomend this tour.

Snow Monkey Tours — A Day That Stays With You There are tours that move you from place to place, and there are tours that move something inside you. Snow Monkey Tours did the latter. (Please read on--I couldn't fit the whole review here.)

My mum and I had a wonderful time!!! Hana was an excellent guide and the monkeys were absolutely adorable. Strongly recommend.

Estuvo increíble! la guía fue muy amable, al igual que el conductor. la comida estuvo deliciosa y cumplieron con todas las expectativas.

很方便，可以去三個點，可惜因為是跟團，需要配合大家的時間，猴子抄可愛！
