Traveler reviews
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 🌸💕
The Snow Monkey Park and Kamakura no Sato tour was the best experience of our Japan trip! Watching the snow monkeys up close in their natural hot spring habitat was unforgettable, and exploring Kamakura no Sato was like stepping into a winter wonderland. The beef sukiyaki for lunch was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals we had. Our tour guide and drivers were amazingly good at their jobs, making the entire trip smooth, informative, and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and well-organized adventure! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMENDED!!
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.
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!
The tour was well organized with good information provided ahead of time to help find the meeting spot for our family of three which included my eight year old son and husband. The sukiyaki beef lunch provided was tasty and filling. It was my first time to have sukiyaki beef and so quite enjoyed it. The snow monkeys at that the Monkey Park were so cute and such a fun thing to see. I was surprised by how tame the monkeys were. And I loved watching them bath in the onsen, it was so neat! Since we joined the tour at the end of February we were also able to visit Kamakura no Sato for the snow igloos as part of the tour. There was so much snow. The only thing I would’ve like is maybe a few stories or facts along the way on the ride to the Monkey Park because the ride to Nagano prefecture is relatively long. But overall
The best day ever. we were so lucky to experience as much snow as we did. the food wasn’t a big concern to me as my sole purpose was to see the snow monkeys. if you’re picky, bring your own food. The ride was 4 hrs, hike was 30 minutes, spent around 1 hour with the monkeys, hike another 30, and leave back to Tokyo an additional 4 hrs. and I would do it again!! it was such an amazing experience and finding the tour guide was super easy. it felt the allotted time with the monkeys was perfect and the scenery is just out of a movie. I wouldn’t hesitate and just book this activity!!
i think this was one of the best experiences ive had in my life! Seeing the snow monkeys and the area was so surreal. It was unbelievable! Also the tour was good the bus was a big nice clean bus and our guide mari-san was an absolute delight! Such a sweet and helpful lady and a hard worker. To anyone whos thinking about booking this trip, JUST DO IT!
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!
