Excursão de 1 dia: Macacos da Neve e Diversão na Neve em 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!!

O melhor dia! Desde o momento em que fiz a reserva, tudo foi muito tranquilo. Muita comunicação facilitou saber onde encontrar o grupo e o que esperar. Nosso motorista e guia Endo foram incríveis!! Conseguimos alugar roupas de neve no próprio dia, o que tornou tudo muito prático para um passeio de um dia na neve, sem o trabalho de ter que trazê-las na bagagem. Também foi extremamente acessível. Alugamos duas jaquetas de neve e quatro pares de botas de neve por apenas 30 dólares australianos. Também pudemos continuar usando as botas para o Parque dos Macacos. O almoço incluído teve um excelente custo-benefício e nos sustentou bem, além de haver várias opções para escolher. As crianças também ficaram muito felizes, o que facilitou bastante (de 8 e 10 anos). Havia muito o que fazer e bastante tempo para explorar e brincar na neve. O Parque dos Macacos foi uma caminhada linda, mas recomendo muito comprar grampos de neve para os sapatos, conforme sugerido pelo nosso guia. Você pode comprá-los no dia. Foram uma verdadeira salvação, pois conseguimos percorrer a longa caminhada na neve escorregadia com facilidade, enquanto vimos muitas pessoas com dificuldades. Eram acessíveis, custando 10 dólares australianos cada par. O passeio vale definitivamente a pena e não vai decepcionar!!!

We had a lot of fun at the snow mountain of Shiga Kogen, definitely will come back again for more snow activities. the Snow Monkey Onsen was the highlight, they were so cute. The snow Mountain View was stunning!

Fizemos um passeio de um dia fantástico com nosso guia amigável, Jens. Ele foi muito informativo e deu instruções claras ao longo do dia, o que fez com que tudo corresse da melhor forma. O itinerário não foi muito corrido e o ritmo nos agradou bastante. O ônibus era grande e confortável. Pudemos pegar equipamentos de neve emprestados antes de 1h30 de diversão na neve em Shiga Kogen. O almoço foi ótimo e saboroso também. A caminhada para ver os macacos da neve foi desafiadora devido à trilha congelada — grampos para calçados são essenciais no inverno! Recomendo totalmente este passeio de um dia!

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. ❄️🐒

Was the highlight of my Japan trip. Do remember to wear proper shoes for trekking during the winter season. the snow monkey path is super slippery and pretty dangerous.

A great day out, worth the cost!! we were very lucky and it was snowing lightly while on the tour. The snow play area is good for adults and children and lunch was very yummy. the snow monkeys were great, there is plenty of time to stroll up to them and stroll back without feeling rushed.

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.
