Shiga Kogen tours

The Best Day! From the moment I booked it was seamless. Lots of communication made it easy to know where to meet and what to expect. Our driver and Guide Endo were amazing!! We were able to hire some snow gear on the day which made it so easy for a day trip to the snow without the hassle of packing it with us. It was also extremely affordable. We hired two snow jackets and four pairs of snow boots for only $30 Aud. We could also continue to use the boots for the Monkey Park. The included lunch was great value for money and kept us full , there was also a variety to choose from. The kids were very happy too which made it easy (ages 8 and 10). There was plenty to do and lots of time to explore and play around in the snow. The monkey park was a beautiful walk but I highly recommend buying snow spikes for your shoes as suggested by our guide. Ypu can buy these on the day. It was a lifesaver as we easily navigated the long walk in slippery snow with ease, we saw many people struggle. They were affordable at $10 Aud each pair. The tour is definitely worth the money and won’t disappoint!!!

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! 😊

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!

Ryu, the tour guide is very friendly and accommodating. Recommended a local resto when the restos near snow monkey park were full packed, we had our fill to the brim. Took nice vids and pics of our family. Made our first snow experience a very memorable one. Core memory esp for the kids.

Thank you to the tour guide Yama and the driver for their competent and friendly service, which allowed everyone (a total of 17 people in our group) to have a wonderful day. The whole itinerary was arranged smoothly, especially the lunch. The meal was delicious and the environment was warm and elegant. I also had my own time at Zenkoji Temple. The wine tasting at Nishimon allowed me to buy my favorite plum wine and miso. I was very happy! Thanks

We had a lot of fun at the snow mountain of Shiga Kogen, definitely will come back again for more snow activities. the Snow Monkey Onsen was the highlight, they were so cute. The snow Mountain View was stunning!

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.

This was a whole day tour to the Snow Monkeys and everything was included apart from items brought at servo stops. Bus was very comfy and tour guide was great and friendly as! Lunch was also really good and authentic. Walk to the monkeys was not to bad and we were given a good amount of time there. Monkeys were out and were so cute to watch from a distance 🤣❄️🐒
