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!!

The Best Day! From the moment I booked it was seamless. Lots of communication made it easy to know where to meet and what to expect. Our driver and Guide Endo were amazing!! We were able to hire some snow gear on the day which made it so easy for a day trip to the snow without the hassle of packing it with us. It was also extremely affordable. We hired two snow jackets and four pairs of snow boots for only $30 Aud. We could also continue to use the boots for the Monkey Park. The included lunch was great value for money and kept us full , there was also a variety to choose from. The kids were very happy too which made it easy (ages 8 and 10). There was plenty to do and lots of time to explore and play around in the snow. The monkey park was a beautiful walk but I highly recommend buying snow spikes for your shoes as suggested by our guide. Ypu can buy these on the day. It was a lifesaver as we easily navigated the long walk in slippery snow with ease, we saw many people struggle. They were affordable at $10 Aud each pair. The tour is definitely worth the money and won’t disappoint!!!

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.
