1-dags tur: Snøaper og snømoro i Shiga Kogen

Jans was our main guide and I think Hiroshi was the other guide. This was an absolutely wonderful tour. They provided free rentals of snow play gear like pants and jackets. The Shiga Kogen Sun Vally resort was great and we had access to plenty of snow play gear. The lunch was wonderful at Goen and enjoyed the Nabe style hot pot meal. I don’t know if we just exerted a bunch of energy and was just very hungry but that was one of our tastiest meals of the trip. it was a great way to stay warm in the cold. We then made our way to the snow monkeys and that was so cool to see. the trail and hike up was long but totally worth it. make sure you have good footwear with traction so you don’t fall on the slippery ice. We would do this tour again and again! Jans was a very nice guide and gave us great local recommendations for Sanzoku-yaki chicken at the Nagano Station. He was a great guide an ambassador to the wonderful culture that Japan has to share. 6/5 stars.. Bravo!!

Den beste dagen! Fra det øyeblikket jeg bestilte, gikk alt knirkefritt. Mye kommunikasjon gjorde det enkelt å vite hvor vi skulle møtes og hva vi kunne forvente. Sjåføren vår og guiden Endo var fantastiske! Vi kunne leie snøutstyr på dagen, noe som gjorde det så enkelt å dra på dagstur til snøen uten bryet med å pakke det med oss. Det var også ekstremt rimelig. Vi leide to snøjakker og fire par snøstøvler for bare 30 AUD. Vi kunne også fortsette å bruke støvlene til Apeparken. Den inkluderte lunsjen var god valuta for pengene og holdt oss mette, det var også et variert utvalg å velge mellom. Barna var også veldig fornøyde, noe som gjorde det enkelt (alder 8 og 10). Det var mye å gjøre og god tid til å utforske og leke i snøen. Apeparken var en vakker tur, men jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste å kjøpe snøpigger til skoene, som foreslått av guiden vår. Du kan kjøpe disse på dagen. Det var en livredder, da vi enkelt navigerte den lange turen i glatt snø uten problemer, vi så mange mennesker slite. De var rimelige til 10 AUD per par. Turen er definitivt verdt pengene og vil ikke skuffe!

Vi hadde det kjempegøy på snøfjellet Shiga Kogen, kommer definitivt tilbake for flere snøaktiviteter. Snøape-onsen var høydepunktet, de var så søte. Utsikten over snøfjellet var fantastisk!

Hadde en fantastisk dagstur med vår vennlige turguide Jens. Han var veldig informativ med klare instruksjoner gjennom hele dagen, noe som gjorde at alt gikk knirkefritt. Reiseruten var ikke for travel, og tempoet passet oss bra. Bussen var stor og komfortabel. Vi fikk låne snøutstyr før 1,5 timer med snømoro på Shiga Kogen. Lunsjen var også god og velsmakende. Turen for å se snøapene var utfordrende på grunn av den isete stien – stegjern er et must om vinteren! Vil absolutt anbefale denne dagsturen totalt sett!

We had a truly unforgettable experience at Jigokudani Monkey Park. Trekking up the mountain while snow was gently falling felt magical and made the journey even more special. Seeing the snow monkeys in their natural habitat was absolutely worth it. Our tour guide, Kevin, was awesome—very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and comfortable despite the snowy conditions. This tour was perfectly organized and is something I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Nagano. ❄️🐒

Var høydepunktet på min Japan-tur. Husk å bruke skikkelige sko for fotturer i vintersesongen. Snøape-stien er veldig glatt og ganske farlig.

En flott dag ute, verdt prisen! Vi var veldig heldige, og det snødde lett mens vi var på turen. Snølekeområdet er bra for voksne og barn, og lunsjen var veldig god. Snøapene var flotte, det er god tid til å spasere opp til dem og spasere tilbake uten å føle seg stresset.

Best tour of our holiday! Kei our guide was amazing and made the day fun and interesting. This tour was an excellent first snow experience and the food was delicious and snow monkeys are so cute and funny! Our bus driver was the best, navigating the slippery small roads like a pro! Definitely worth the money xox

We are very happy to have Endo as our tour guide! He’s a very caring and informative guide who used to be a high school teacher. The rest of the tour was as brilliant! Duration for each stop was perfect, lunch was unbelievably good (Beef hotpot with tempura and sushi!). The coach was comfortable and driver drove safely. We enjoyed every bit of the tour, from snow sledding to snow monkey park. Thank you Endo and everyone behind for giving us such good memories.

this trip is 100% snow land experience! the snow playground for children is a must for sll who will book in this activity. the food inclusive also ( lunch) and most of all the long trek walking going to snow monkey mountain is one of our best snow sight seeing experience. With our tour guide Mr Endo, speaks clear english and with few tips to share too. He also allow us to avail 10% discount using his tour guide pass.
