This tour combines some of the region’s most iconic destinations - including the world-famous Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani, the 1400-year old Zenko-ji Temple, Matsumoto Castle, and the historic old town of Takayama - with the unforgettable experience of being driven through Japan’s Northern Alps, a place of high mountain peaks and rarefied beauty. With English-speaking guide, lunch, and full-service accommodation on Day 1 followed by hotel pick-up and transport to Matsumoto and Takayama, including hotel drop-off, on Day 2, this tour captures the history and beauty of central Japan with the convenience and comfort of one easy package.

During the winter it is common to see the Snow Monkeys enjoying the hot spring bath, however from spring up to autumn there will be times where the monkeys play or eat in the water, however please note that the monkeys are wild animals and there is no guarantee that there will be monkeys in the bath.
There are a few days in the year that the monkeys might not come down to the park. In such case we will provide an alternative activity.

Husband and wife from USA and Japan met husband’s adult son from Europe for an adventure in Nagano. Snow Monkey Resorts gave us that and much more, helping us customize our itinerary, providing timely suggestions to enhance our visit, explaining the rich history of the sites visited and the fascinating behavior of the big stars, the snow monkeys! We thank our hosts, Chieko and David, for taking the time to master English, and generously sharing their knowledge and kindness with our little group. We felt like we were traveling with good friends who wanted to spoil us.
