It was a lovely time!! Although I only got to see a few monkeys, the rest of the trip was just as fun and beautiful. The spots we went to were really nice and our guide Carp San was a delight! It is a pretty physically demanding tour, so keep that in mind and come prepared for a lot of walking!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🇯🇵

Vi hadde en fantastisk tid på turen. Taketo var en fantastisk turguide som var kunnskapsrik, engasjerende og snakket utmerket engelsk. Han gjorde virkelig dagen for oss. Apeparken og vingården var høydepunkter på dagen, selv om alle stedene vi besøkte var fantastiske. Jeg vil absolutt anbefale denne turen til andre besøkende!

Umut was very friendly and a great tour guide ! Definitely recommend if you want a nice tour to the snow monkeys 🙊 👍

It was a long drive, but totally worth it to see the snow monkeys. Our driver Atif was very accommodating. Overall it was an excellent experience. Just know that you're in for about 8hrs in the car and 2-3hrs of activity.

Our guide Shinji is a friendly and professional operator. His knowledge of Shibu Onsen town was particularly impressive. His local knowledge gave us a good insights into the daily lives of people in Onsen town.

You do need know a little of the Japanese language to be able to communicate with staff. They are kind and friendly. The room was spacious. Classic styling and comfortable. We had a good view of misty mountains. The location was not too bad from the train and bus terminal. A bit hill-y. Nearest 7-Eleven is the closest for sending luggage though.
