Things to do in Nagano

This Nagano day trip was incredibly packed and complete, offering a perfect blend of nature, culture, and local experiences. Visiting the serene Togakushi Shrine and seeing the snow monkeys up close at Jigokudani Monkey Park were absolute highlights. What truly made the tour exceptional was our guide’s consistently positive attitude, professionalism, and clear time management, which kept the day enjoyable and stress-free. Because all participants were respectful of the designated meetup times, we avoided unnecessary waiting and were able to fit in the sake culture experience, which added even more value to an already full itinerary. Overall, it was a well-organized, smooth, and rewarding tour that made the most out of a single day in Nagano.

It was an excellent and fun experience going on the tour. The guides (Dillon and Brett) were very warm and welcoming, always looking out for everyone, making sure that everyone is having an amazing time. Have to give a big thumbs up to Dillon for making the stops very interesting with all the details and stories behind the places, like the sake brewing and temples

the ride was pleasant and Kyu was very nice and funny. the forests, the shrine and the monkeys were also amazing

Distance between both sites is not short, and having this tour helps a lot for those who may not have a short time in Nagano. Our guide was Shuhei. He was very pleasant and spoke good English, and was patient to accommodate our family in the Snow Monkey Park due to the unexpected heavy snowfall and slippery surface. we were rewarded with a beautiful experience with the monkeys, the photos speak for themselves. He brought us to a soba shop for lunch that served really good soba and tea, followed by a tour to the Tokagushi Shrine. The snowfall made the trees really magical and there was even enough snow for the kids to play. Shuhei brought us to the relevant spots and highlighted the photo points. He accommodated changes to the schedule and we were grateful for this. All in all happy with the tour

Had a fantastic day tour with our friendly tour guide Jens. He was very informative with clear instructions throughout the day which made everything go smoothly. The itinerary wasn't too rushed and the pace suited us well. Bus was large and comfortable. We were able to borrow snow gear prior to 1.5hrs of snow fun at Shiga Kogen. Lunch was great and tasty aswell. The walk to see the snow monkeys was challenging due to the icy track - crampons are a must in winter! Would thoroughly recommend this day tour overall!

We have a ticket package with a great value set. The rental shop is about a three-to-four minute walk away. We recommend checking the equipment before you take it because when you return it, they will check it, and there will be a fine if any equipment is missing or damaged. There's a cafe with a great atmosphere and delicious cookies at the top of the ski slope. Getting your tickets is not difficult. If you want to ski and rent a set, we recommend this package.

definitely value for money. the ski shop is near to resort so it’s very convenient. book for January & Feb dates as my chair lift will be opened

We chose the 3 hour afternoon class with the instructor. great to have an instructor with us because it’s our first time here.

Nice ski resort! We had fun here with my family and stayed the whole day!
