It was a lovely time!! Although I only got to see a few monkeys, the rest of the trip was just as fun and beautiful. The spots we went to were really nice and our guide Carp San was a delight! It is a pretty physically demanding tour, so keep that in mind and come prepared for a lot of walking!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely amazing experience with Snow Monkey Resorts! 🐒❄️ We had such a fantastic time, thanks to our awesome tour guide, Hishiro, and our wonderful driver, Asaki (apologies if I’ve spelt your names incorrectly! 😊). Hishiro was such a cool, friendly and knowledgeable guide who made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He was also incredibly thoughtful, knowing we’d had a big day the day before trekking through the Cedar Woods 😂🌲 It was those little things that really made us feel looked after. A huge shout-out to Asaki as well! He was an excellent driver, so polite, professional and friendly, making the journey comfortable and stress-free. These two really made our day extra special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team! ❤️ If you’re thinking of booking a tour with Snow Monkey Resorts, I highly recommend them! 🙌 Hopefully, you’re lucky enough to get Hishiro and Asaki too — they were absolutely awesome! Thank you both for such a memorable experience! 🇯🇵

We had a brilliant time on the tour. Taketo was a fantastic tour guide who was knowledgeable, engaging and spoke great English. He really made the day for us. The monkey park and vineyard were highlights of the day although all the locations we visited were stunning. I would absolutely recommend this tour to any other visitors!

What a great day and super guide, Ryu. The rain and cold air did not stop us from enjoying the tour. Ryu was kind and knowledgeable from the start. He helped us navigate the train tickets, bus fare and entrance fees. The snow monkeys showed up in full force and we had infinite photo opportunities. After a delicious lunch we took the bus to a local onsen and warmed our feet in the hot spring water. The train then took us back to

Umut was very friendly and a great tour guide ! Definitely recommend if you want a nice tour to the snow monkeys 🙊 👍

It was a long drive, but totally worth it to see the snow monkeys. Our driver Atif was very accommodating. Overall it was an excellent experience. Just know that you're in for about 8hrs in the car and 2-3hrs of activity.

Our guide Shinji is a friendly and professional operator. His knowledge of Shibu Onsen town was particularly impressive. His local knowledge gave us a good insights into the daily lives of people in Onsen town.

You do need know a little of the Japanese language to be able to communicate with staff. They are kind and friendly. The room was spacious. Classic styling and comfortable. We had a good view of misty mountains. The location was not too bad from the train and bus terminal. A bit hill-y. Nearest 7-Eleven is the closest for sending luggage though.
