Nagano Tours

The organization is excellent, punctual, and respectful. Our guide gave us explanations in English (we were traveling from Mexico 🇲🇽) and also in Mandarin. The transportation is comfortable and clean, so you can rest a bit between transfers. The tour is demanding, lots of walking, but that's specified from the beginning. The places we visited were wonderful.

excellent. visiting the anow monkey is a must when in Nagano. its a long walk, but worrh it. Kevin and Teddy, our tour guides were very good. the included lunch, shabushabu was likewise very good. a choice of beef, or seafood or vegetarian. its easier when joining a tour for this activulities. no stress aa compared to do it yourself trip.

was initially only looking forward to the Nagano Snow Monkeys portion of the trip but the visit to the shrine was enjoyable too! took many photos.. and loved the walk with surrounding snow. The guide prepared crampons for all of us so the walk was very lovely!

we had a great time! Carp was an amazing guide! She told us so much about each area. shw knew so many languages it was so impressive. there was more than enough time in each place. i really enjoyed this trip

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!

Matsumoto castle and kamikochi both were wonderful. The tour was really good. pick up and drop was smooth too.

Our tour was on a Monday and we had Dave as our guide. The tour itself was great. We started the tour at monkey park. I do wish we had the option to arrive there earlier to beat the crowd, and enjoy walk to the park. But if you’re patient enough, you can get a good spot to see the monkeys in the hot springs. Before heading to the shrine, we stopped for lunch and let Dave picked. So glad he picked, it was delicious soba. Then we arrived at shrine. The walk along the tree lines felt ethereal and majestic, especially with the snow. Now about our tour guide, Dave really made the whole day super enjoyable. He arrived promptly and warmly. Dave was a wonderful tour guide. He lives locally, and pointed out fun local spots. At each location, he was very patient with us. Went above and beyond when taking our photos. Loved this tour.

The guide, Lin, knows a lot and is very friendly. Plus, she speaks Japanese, English, and Spanish. Highly recommended.
