Things to do in Jigokudani Monkey Park
Nature park
If you're planning a trip to Japan, you should visit Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture. This snow monkey park lets you see Japanese macaques, also known as snow monkeys, up close. The best part of this experience is watching these monkeys relax in steaming hot springs. It's especially amazing to see them surrounded by white snow in the winter. The park also has beautiful forest trails, perfect for a peaceful hike, and even for spotting other wild animals. After your walk, you can check out the gift shop and the information center to learn all about these wild monkeys and their animal welfare. Whether you visit in the snowy winter or during the lush green seasons, Jigokudani Monkey Park will be a memorable part of your trip to Japan.

This tour exceeding all expectations. Jens was an amazing tour guide and so knowledgeable about the area. From the temple to the sake tasting to the beautiful lunch and then all the spa monkeys plus a stop for apple pie and the best apple soft serve!! it was such a great experience and we can’t wait to come back in the winter to do it again!

This tour was a perfect way to get a lot out of our one full day in Nagano! Our tour guide Jens was very entertaining and knowledgeable and the activities themselves were great! we got lots more insight into the attractions we took part in through our guide than if we had tried to do it alone. Would definitely recommend!

We absolutely adored this tour in Nagano. Kieran our guide (a fellow Australian) was super friendly and a great tour guide who gave us a glimpse into life in Nagano and Japan. Zenkoji Temple is super special - I highly recommend undertaking Kaiden Merguri (Traversing under the temple - mimicking Buddhas footsteps and emerging out of darkness into light) it was one of my highlights. Seeing the Snow Monkeys was very lovely too. There were so many and it was great observing them. Overall, Nagano was one of our favourite cities in Japan and this tour is a big influence on that choice.

I can’t remember our Guides name but she was from Uruguay and had moved in the past few years to just outside Nagano. she was incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and had great English. I would 10/10 recommend this tour in the first place, but if you get that guide you are bound to have an incredible day. loved every moment!

A great day out as advertised. Sijung was a great guide. The sake tasting was interesting and lunch was excellent. The walk to the monkeys was at our own pace and well worth it. It was enough time to enjoy the monkeys.
