    Starting early at the recommendation of our driver was key to a really lovely day. Truly magical to see the monkeys in and out of the springs, and amazingly close.

    Wonderful trip. Enjoyed the entire experience. This trip is recommended and encouraged. The monkeys were super cool, no pun intended.

    An efficient way to see the snow monkeys and avoid the public transport mission given our limited time. We were able to spend as long as we liked observing the snow monkeys and finished the trip with a warm lunch. Our driver, Attary speaks fluent English and was accommodating of our requests

    Fantastic day trip to see the snow monkeys

    Neil_C, Dec 2025
    Great day trip visiting the temple and snow monkeys. Very comfortable car with excellent driver and tour guide Malik. Highly recommendable.

    Too long of a day

    M_K, Nov 2024
    This is too long of a day. It is a long walk to the monkeys and we only saw 2 after they left the springs and went and sat on a roof. Told by the ranger they don’t come to the springs this time of year as breading time (end October early November) would like to have had this knowledge before booking.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the day felt too long and that the timing of your visit affected the opportunity to see more monkeys in the springs. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially after making the effort for the walk. Please note that the presence of monkeys is not within our control, as they are wild animals, and it is mentioned outside Jigokudani Monkey Park that their appearances can vary. Thanks to your feedback, we have updated our product description to include details about the seasonal behavior of the monkeys, especially around late October to early November during breeding season. This will help future visitors make a more informed decision. We appreciate your valuable input, as it helps us improve and provide a better experience for everyone.
