Naganon talvinen yksityiskierros paikallisen oppaan kanssa (marraskuusta toukokuuhun)

We had limited time in Nagano, so we decided to take a bit of a risk and booked a private tour, so we could fit the two places we wanted to experience, Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park and Togakushi Shrine. This tour was a bit pricey, but super worth it! Our guide picked us up directly from our Airbnb (saving us a trip to a meeting place), gave us a lot of good local information on the places where we went, recommended an excellent soba place for lunch, and was generally a fantastic hang :-) The snow monkey park was beautiful, the path to the Togakushi Shrine gate was simply magical, and our guide Dai made everything come together.

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

Nämä kolme kylää olivat fantastinen vierailukohde, erityisesti talvella. Gokayama on hiljainen ja toismaailmallinen! Washi-paperin valmistus oli superhauskaa, oppaamme ja kuljettajamme olivat johdonmukaisia ja luotettavia, auto itsessään oli mukava, ja maisemat paikkojen välillä olivat aivan henkeäsalpaavat. Ehdottomasti kannattaa maksaa, jotta pääsee kokemaan tämän alueen valtavan kauneuden ilman ajamisen tai muiden kuljetusmuotojen vaivaa.

Ryu, the tour guide is very friendly and accommodating. Recommended a local resto when the restos near snow monkey park were full packed, we had our fill to the brim. Took nice vids and pics of our family. Made our first snow experience a very memorable one. Core memory esp for the kids.

our guide was on time for pick up and finding the pickup point was easy. he lives in Nagano and knows the place very well. visited snow monkey and togakushi shrine. he was super friendly and was interested in showing us Nagano and provided excellent service. he took us to a very nice lunch place by local people. the Soba noodle was delicious and the service was excellent. I would recommend choosing their self guided tour if you don’t want to avoid the long line waiting for the bus to get to each of the spots (eg: snow monkey and togakushi shrine) under the cold weather and the roads can be slippery. our guide also recommended and helped us get to a nice onsen spot in Nagano before we left the city. it was a perfect day and would highly recommend their service.

Amazing tour! Our guide Dai was super friendly and also a great photographer, he helped us get so many nice photos. Seeing the snow monkeys was unforgettable and visiting Togakushi Shrine was beautiful and peaceful. The stop at a family owned soba restaurant was a highlight too. Highly recommend this tour!

Chris is a gem of a tour guide! He's super friendly, insightful and easy to talk to. We had a great time all throughout the day. It was a very scenic route from our hotel in Nagano and we even got to squeeze in some power naps in between destinations. Breaks can be requested as well either during the drive or during hikes, just make sure you're still on time for what's next. If you have a short stay in Nagano, this is a tour that I would definitely recommend you take!

Chris 是我們這趟旅行中最幽默、最隨和、最親切的導遊兼司機。跟他一起出遊，完全沒有距離感，彷彿是和朋友一起旅行一樣。他非常貼心，會事先規劃好行程並給予小叮嚀。非常推薦這個包車服務，省去了不少冤枉路，節省了很多時間和步行的距離。一天玩完雪猴公園跟戶隱神社！

A highly recommended tour.Chris was the guide of the day and he was just fantastic! welcoming, informative, detailed oriented and friendly, he put all my family members at eased. from the get-go. The “door-to-door” service + photography service + lunch recommendation provided was a plus point. This tour was truly an unique experience.

Meillä oli loistava aika kiertueella. Taketo oli fantastinen opas, joka oli asiantunteva, mukaansatempaava ja puhui erinomaista englantia. Hän todella teki päivästämme ikimuistoisen. Apinapuisto ja viinitila olivat päivän kohokohtia, vaikka kaikki vierailemamme paikat olivat upeita. Suosittelisin tätä kiertuetta ehdottomasti kaikille muille vierailijoille!
