Nagano Ice Monkey tour - Our guide Ali met us promptly at our hotel and had a very comfortable, roomy van ready for us. He took time to confirm what we wanted to see and even made some suggestions for us if time allowed. He was very good about suggesting stops as it was nearly a 3 hour drive and found a very nice traveler stop for us. We were given good advice on pick up and drop off at the ice monkey park and upon choosing a restaurant for lunch on the small village, Ali ran ahead to find our restaurant on foot and confirm it was open before going too far. All in all a great day for my wife and I, Ali was willing to take us to a castle in Nagano if we wanted even though it would have extended an already very long day, we the up shipping that but appreciated the selfless offer of service.

Nagano Ice Monkey - Nagano area is very cold so remind travelers to dress appropriately and the walk to the snow monkeys has lots of ice, snow and mud this time of year, West the right shoes.

Beautiful Snow Monkeys - After a long drive, luckily in our own private vehicle we made it to the Snow monkey park. The only downside was the car journey, due to no fault of our driver Rana, there had been a couple of car accidents on the only route out of Tokyo and this delayed us. Turned into 5 and a half car ride to get to Jigokudani. We did stop for coffee & toilet breaks and to stretch our legs. When we arrived there was a beautiful 1.6 km hike through the woods up into the mountains where the falling snow made it a stunning walk. And there they were, the beautiful snow monkeys. The whole mountain belongs to them and they roam freely everywhere. They happily walk right past you, through your legs and love the hot spring where they gather during the day. There’s a pecking order and although they sometimes seem aggressive to each other they soon break it up and go on their way. The noise they make is a lot worse than the actual handbags at dawn fighting. We asked Rana if we could stay longer at the monkey park and forsake the temple visit as we we wanted to stay on the mountain longer and have a relaxing lunch there. Rana said he was happy to do whatever made our visit memorable. This is a must visit if you go to Japan 🇯🇵 It was a wonderful experience and highly recommended.

Snow monkeys-must do! - Great day on this tour from Tokyo. The day was long but the drive was comfortable and Rana, the driver, was very friendly. Seeing the snow monkeys in their natural habitat was an amazing experience and well worth the long travel day. The temple was also very beautiful. Thank you Rana for showing me the “hidden” Starbucks within the temple grounds, and the much needed caffeine!

Amazing day with the snow monkeys and lunch in an igloo! - Mr. Rana was an excellent guide. It is a long ride from Tokyo and he entertained us on the way with stories about Japan. When we arrived at the snow monkeys, Mr. Rana parked very close to the entrance while other drivers made their guests walk a long way. We set off to see the snow monkeys with a light snow. It was magical. The snow monkeys did not disappoint. Hundreds of them were at the hot spring and we arrived early so we could get very close to the spring and spend a lot of time watching them with light crowds. Afterwards Mr. Rana accommodated our request to have a special lunch at Kamakura village in an igloo! We had a wonderful day. Having a private guide gave us the flexibility to customize the schedule. Highly recommend!

Awesome trip with Rama, just as advertised. - Awesome day trip, just as advertised. Rama was a very knowledgeable and flexible tour guide. It made for a relaxing scenic journey with an incredible destination. The monkey park may be the highlight of my holiday to Japan. It is a lengthy trip either way from Tokyo, but we believe it was worth. It was incredible seeing the snow and the large number of snow monkeys.
