      Our first time to Nagano....

      Calvin_O, Mar 2026
      Our first time to Nagano. It was a great trip with our guide Jake. We saw many snow monkeys along with many different sites. The hot pot lunch was great too. We would recommend people take this tour.

      Best snow monkey tour

      Lisa_F, Jan 2025
      The best snow monkey tour! We had Lin and she went above and beyond to get us to the monkeys. This was no mean feat as I’m using a wheelchair and struggling to walk due to illness. Loved Obuse village and visited a lovely temple that was actually wheelchair accessible. I would highlight recommend this tour!

      Dear Lisa, Thank you for your glowing review! We are so glad Lin went above and beyond to ensure you could see the monkeys, Obuse village, and even the temple. Your high recommendation means the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more memorable moments! Snow Monkey Resorts

      A not to be missed experience

      Cathy_H, Dec 2024
      This day long tour was fantastic and educational. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much. The day was perfect with just enough snow and the monkeys showed up in number. The provided lunch was excellent. We enjoyed the visit to the temple as well as our walk around Obuse. The day ended with a fantastic sake tasting. The whole experience was the main highlight of our visit to Japan.

      Awesome Day in Nagano

      Alan_G, Apr 2024
      Our guide for the day was Joyce. What a wonderful guide! She had a great cheerful disposition and engaged with all members of our group. The trip was a wonderful diverse experience highlighted by the snow monkeys. We had a great day with the playful primates and got many great pictures. The bento box lunch was very authentic and presented beautifully. Following lunch, we headed to a town where the artist Hokusai, who is famous for The Great Wave, has a museum and the animated vendors were happy to share samples of their wares. We finished by exploring the Buddhist temple and sake tasting. What a great day, a great itinerary, and especially our great guide Joyce! This tour is exceptional and highly recommended.
