Jednodňová túra: Snežné opice a zábava na snehu v 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!!

Najlepší deň! Od chvíle, keď som rezerváciu vytvoril(-a), prebiehalo všetko hladko. Vďaka skvelej komunikácii sme presne vedeli, kde sa stretnúť a čo môžeme očakávať. Náš vodič a sprievodca Endo boli úžasní!! Priamo na mieste sme si mohli požičať snežnú výstroj, čo veľmi uľahčilo jednodňový výlet do snehu bez starostí s jej balením na cestu. Bolo to navyše mimoriadne cenovo dostupné. Požičali sme si dve snežné bundy a štyri páry snežných topánok len za 30 AUD. Topánky sme mohli navyše využiť aj pri návšteve Opičieho parku. Zahrnutý obed mal skvelý pomer ceny a kvality, zasýtil nás a na výber bolo z viacerých možností. Deti boli tiež veľmi spokojné, čo nám to celé uľahčilo (vo veku 8 a 10 rokov). Programu bolo dosť a mali sme veľa času na objavovanie a šantenie v snehu. Prechádzka v Opičom parku bola nádherná, ale vrelo odporúčam kúpiť si hroty na topánky do snehu, ako to navrhoval náš sprievodca. Dá sa ich kúpiť priamo na mieste. Boli na nezaplatenie, vďaka nim sme ľahko a bez problémov prešli dlhú trasu v klzkom snehu, pričom sme videli, ako sa mnohí iní trápia. Stáli len 10 AUD za pár. Tento výlet určite stojí za peniaze a nesklame!

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!

Mali sme fantastický denný výlet s naším priateľským sprievodcom Jensom. Bol veľmi poučný s jasnými pokynmi počas celého dňa, vďaka čomu všetko prebehlo hladko. Itinerár nebol príliš uponáhľaný a tempo nám dobre vyhovovalo. Autobus bol veľký a pohodlný. Pred 1,5 hodinou zábavy na snehu v Shiga Kogen sme si mohli požičať snehové vybavenie. Obed bol tiež skvelý a chutný. Prechádzka k snežným opiciam bola náročná kvôli zľadovatenej ceste – mačky sú v zime nevyhnutnosťou! Celkovo by som tento denný výlet dôkladne odporučil!

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.
