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.

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.

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.

A must see tour in Nagano area! Our tour guide, Shin, was very enthusiastic to explain the history of Matsumoto castle and attractions in Kamikochi, which made us to appreciate more these attractions. We were also fortunate to experience a sunny weather during our tour, which made the surroundings in Kamikochi more vivid.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🇯🇵

I’m so happy I booked this. It was a fascinating insight into an area I have little knowledge of. We were lucky and honoured to have Mr. Ishii himself, the current President and 6th Generation conducting the tour. The Miso tasting meal at the end of the tour in their Restaurant was probably the best meal of my entire trip, packed full of incredible flavours and contrasts. Anyone wanting to do this tour should skip breakfast so they can make the most of it. Arigato Gozaimasu 😀

Meeting point at Nagano Station very convenient. Our guide very friendly and responsible. At each stop, they ensure every participants are present. Beautiful scenery. We transferred onto different transportation to reach the Alpine. Highly recommended.

General info
What to know before visiting Nagano
What to do in Nagano year-round
Nagano is best known for guided Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, with Tours making up the biggest share of bookings followed by outdoor pursuits. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in February and remains high through spring months, driven by winter sights and early-season outdoor options. Late summer and autumn see far fewer visitors. Decide whether you want festival and winter energy or quieter outdoor time: pick peak-season atmosphere or quieter off-peak discovery. All figures are based on Klook booking data and reflect past bookings.
When to visit Nagano
Demand on Klook is strongest in February, with a major peak early in the year, while August and September are the quietest months. Prices over the last 12 months stayed fairly steady through winter and rose into November and December; the priciest month on Klook was November, while the lowest prices were in June. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds aim for late spring to early summer, and if you prefer peak-season atmosphere choose January–March or November for busier conditions and festive energy.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | USD 57 |
| February | Peak demand | USD 57 |
| March | Peak demand | USD 57 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 54 |
| May | About average | USD 48 |
| June | Quieter than usual | USD 47 |
| July | Quieter than usual | USD 51 |
| August | Very quiet | USD 51 |
| September | Very quiet | USD 51 |
| October | Very quiet | USD 55 |
| November | Quieter than usual | USD 58 |
| December | About average | USD 58 |
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 the United States
Most travellers on Klook book about 10 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly three weeks out; last-minute options appear as late as 2 days before. That means you can be flexible and often find activities close to your trip, but in peak months such as February and November it helps to lock in must-do tours earlier. Use Klook to compare options, check recent prices and secure a spot for high-demand dates—booking a little ahead keeps plans simple and still lets you discover quieter-season perks on Klook.
