Things to do in Jigokudani Monkey Park

The trip was so much fun! One of the highlights was watching the monkeys soak in the hot springs—they were just chilling there, looking at us lazily, and it was so cute I couldn’t stop taking photos. The food was another big win; whether it was local snacks or full meals, everything tasted amazing—fresh, authentic, and so good I couldn’t get enough. Of course, the cherry blossoms were a must-see, blooming all over the place in stunning pink, like something out of a painting. Walking under those trees felt so special. And the guide? Such a nice person—always smiling, explaining things to us, and super patient with all our questions.

The snow monkeys are very cute and the environment is beautiful, but the drive from Tokyo is very long. It takes 30 minutes to go up the mountain, and the snow has just melted, so the road is difficult to travel, so choosing the time to go is very important.

The guide we had, Mr. Yuki, was very good; he knew a lot and shared his experience and knowledge. Recommended.

Absolutely would recommend this trip! Our guides were Endo-san and Jens who were fantastic guides. Jens commentary on the bus was so funny and he seemed geniuely interested in getting to know everyone. The overall trip was very well organised with a lovely lunch. Everything seemed to run on time and the time at the monkey park was sufficient! I was so glad I booked this trip and it was a wonderful experience!

This is my first snow and snowfall experience, and the snow monkey keep crawling beisde me, good adventure and experience! and the cheapest tour from tokyo to nagano

The trip was enjoyable. the driving was safe. The guide, Masa, was very much accommodating and kind.

Awesome food & awesome guide that explained a lot while on the drive up! the Snow Monkeys did not disappoint! Be prepared for si icy, muddy trails &:wear hiking boots! I saw a lot of white tennis shoes (but not for long)! The mud will splash a bit too! It was on the back if my legs. Dress appropriately, it's cold 🥶 but so worth it!

This was a whole day tour to the Snow Monkeys and everything was included apart from items brought at servo stops. Bus was very comfy and tour guide was great and friendly as! Lunch was also really good and authentic. Walk to the monkeys was not to bad and we were given a good amount of time there. Monkeys were out and were so cute to watch from a distance 🤣❄️🐒
