Discover one of Japan’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences on a private full-day tour to Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park in Nagano.

Your day begins with hotel pickup in Nagano City by your English-speaking driver-guide. Travel comfortably through beautiful mountain landscapes, traditional villages, and forested valleys while learning about the region’s history and unique wildlife.

At Jigokudani, enjoy a peaceful 30-minute walk through a scenic forest trail leading to the Snow Monkey Park. In winter, the snow-covered path creates a magical atmosphere. Inside the park, observe wild Japanese macaques relaxing in natural hot springs, a rare sight found almost nowhere else in the world.

Because this is a private tour, you can take your time for photos, enjoy the monkeys at your own pace, and ask questions freely. Your guide will explain the monkeys’ behaviour, the hot spring culture, and why this valley attracts them year-round.

After visiting the park, you may explore Shibu Onsen, a traditional hot spring town known for its wooden ryokan, stone streets, and old-world charm. Your guide can also recommend local lunch spots if you wish.

End your day with a comfortable return drive to Nagano, carrying unforgettable memories of Japan’s natural beauty. Ideal for couples, families, and travellers who prefer a calm, personalised experience over crowded group tours.
