Carp did a great job being a guide for this day tour I went on. She is interactive and knowledgeable. However, at the beginning it was a bit of a shaky start regarding of the free admission to the monkey park of the tour when we were advised that it wasn't included and there were few people queried it. But Carp was professional handling it, contacted the head office and 100% confirmed this tour includes free admission to the park. Other than that the tour went pretty well. For those who want to take part of this tour, bring your own lunch or snacks before the tour due to tight schedule and you can eat it on the bus. Be prepared to do lots of walking but you will enjoy it in the end.

What to bring: Drinks and snacks, waterproof shoes, waterproof jacket, umbrella, hat, phone cross-body strap, backpack, wet wipes. We went on a small tour with our Alpan guide, just 11 of us. It started at 8:00 AM and ended at 1:30 PM. First, don't go to the snow wall; go to the pond first and walk as far as you can. You can see everything at the snow wall in about 25 minutes round trip. You can see the pond with melted ice, the hot springs in the distance, and if you're lucky, even the mascot bird. The bird poses well, so you can comfortably take photos. Although it was a very quick tour, I'm satisfied. I'm thinking of going again personally during the upcoming winter season. Alpan guides are the best! If you get an Alpan guide, your trip will be much easier.

Tour absolutely worth visiting, the time is limited and not enough to visid everything unless you walk very fast without breaks... But the place is stunning even on a basik route. Guide Han spoke really good English and explained all important information and gave useful recommendations.

Hassle free travelling. Have your own transport for pick up and drop off. Do not expect too much commentary from the guide. Only essential information. Just one additional piece of information. Food purchase is by cash. Card is acceptable for purchase of souvenirs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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

Quick facts about Nagano
General info
What to know before visiting Nagano
What to do in Nagano
Nagano is shaped by touring and outdoor activities: Tours lead booking volume, followed by Outdoor & sports activities, so the city suits travellers who like guided discovery and nature-based adventures. Demand swings through the year — Klook booking data show strong peaks in January and December, and a long quiet spell in late summer — so your experience depends on timing. If you want lively atmosphere and events, aim for the peak months; if you prefer space and lower crowds, pick the quieter months. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or a quieter, more flexible trip. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Nagano
The busiest month is January, with very high demand on Klook, while August is the quietest month of the year. Prices move across the year too: the priciest month is August and the cheapest is June, so demand and prices do not move together — January has peak demand but not the highest typical prices. For lower prices and much smaller crowds choose June or the quieter late-spring months; for peak-season atmosphere pick January or December when demand is strongest.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | MYR 219 |
| February | Peak demand | MYR 235 |
| March | Busier than usual | MYR 178 |
| April | Quieter than usual | MYR 178 |
| May | Very quiet | MYR 191 |
| June | Very quiet | MYR 162 |
| July | Very quiet | MYR 247 |
| August | Very quiet | MYR 264 |
| September | Very quiet | MYR 227 |
| October | Quieter than usual | MYR 191 |
| November | Quieter than usual | MYR 223 |
| December | Peak demand | MYR 223 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers book with moderate planning: Klook bookings show people typically secure experiences about 10 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around three weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often book a day or two before travel, but during January and December — the peak months — it pays to lock things in earlier. Use Klook to compare options and reserve the tours or outdoor activities you want in advance for peak periods; for quieter months you can book closer to departure and still find availability. Advice based on Klook booking data.
