Snow Monkey Park & Shibu Onsen Afternoon Tour

Snow Monkey Park & Shibu Onsen Afternoon Tour

Visit the Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani (Hell Valley), named after the plumes of steam shooting out of the ground, as well as the smell of brimstone. Not as scary as it sounds, however, it is a truly memorable experience safe for all ages. After visiting with the Monkeys we offer you the exclusive look into the historic Onsen Village of Shibu. This village was frequented by Samurai, poets, and travellers alike; all looking to recharge and heal wearied or battle-damaged bodies. Good fortune is said to come to those who bathe in each of the Onsens in town. This village is a picture from the past. As you stroll through the narrow streets lined with traditional buildings, some hundreds of years old, you might just get to see some more wild monkeys as they try to scavenge food! Our professional, experienced, English-speaking staff can offer the bilingual service that ensures peace of mind and an unforgettable day tour to your already memorable holiday here in Japan!

Hi, I'm Kye. A Japan-born half-Australian semi-pro photographer who's quick with a joke. Traveling through Japan can be awesome, but it can also be challenging. My boys and I are here to make your trip smoother, and more comfortable. Not to mention, memorable! This page used to be one of our pages for our Mt Fuji trip, but I hope the reviews can give you an idea of our quality and character:) Leave all your problems and anxiety about traveling around Japan with public transport at your hotel. With us, you'll have a Native English and Japanese-speaking driver catering to all of your group's needs. With this day trip to Nagano, you can choose what you want to see or discuss what works best for your needs with me. I've put a few places in the sample itinerary to give you a few ideas;) The standard car we use is a 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. A Japanese luxury van is available as an option as well in case you want the extra space. Professional photography is included in this tour:)
