This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 7 nagano tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
See Nagano’s snow monkeys, Zenko-ji Temple, sake breweries, and a hearty local lunch on this well-run full-day tour from $151.88.
“This excursion surpassed our expectations and added cultural experiences to our day. We were leaving Japan the next day so it really enhanced our trip.”
See Nagano’s Zenkoji Temple, taste local sake, enjoy a hearty lunch, and walk the snowy trail to Japan’s famous bathing monkeys.
“Yet another fabulous local activity organised by this company. It was well organised and well executed. I believe this the best way to see the snow monkeys if you visit Nagano in winter. They give you tips to make your trip easier, provide you with little known facts about the places you visit and provide a wonderful meal before you head off to see the monkeys. The pre purchased tickets help you to skip the line and be on your way. The two guides Tom and Tomiya were wonderful and very helpful. One of the best days we spent in the snow anywhere in the world. 5 stars.”
See snow monkeys in Jigokudani, enjoy beef sukiyaki, and visit Nagano’s snow huts on a long but rewarding Tokyo day trip.
“It was a great trip! The guide was very nice and friendly, and he informed us about every step of the plan throughout the day. The snow monkey park is very beautiful in winter (we were in February). We got lucky with the weather: it was snowing a bit, but no wind, mild winter temperatures. The hike to monkeys was relatively easy with proper boots. The monkeys themselves were very interesting to watch. They can be both cute and funny, and also serious.”

Combine Shiga Kogen snow play, a Japanese lunch, and Jigokudani’s hot-spring monkeys on a practical nine-hour day tour from Nagano.
“Jen’s our tour guide was friendly and made our tour that much more enjoyable! Shiga Kogen is a stunning winter destination with incredible snow, wide uncrowded ski runs, and beautiful mountain scenery. The snow activities like snowshoeing and tobogganing are lots of fun, perfect for all ages. The highlight is the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park — seeing the monkeys relaxing in hot springs surrounded by snow is unforgettable and truly unique. A perfect mix of adventure, nature, and iconic Japanese experiences. The lunch at Goen was absolutely delicious!, Highly recommended for a winter trip to Japan!”
