Overview

Meet Nagano’s famous snow monkeys. With a private car and guide, avoid crowds and enjoy a personalised journey. Special moments are photographed and delivered as memories.

❑ A Unique and Fascinating Experience
In the mountains of Nagano, wild monkeys soak in hot springs — a rare glimpse into animal life that feels almost human. Each season shows a different charm, from snowy baths in winter to playful scenes in summer. This private tour avoids crowds and creates moments only locals know. With a dedicated camera, every scene is captured and gifted as keepsakes.

❑ Why Private?
Because it’s private, the trip adapts to your pace. Public transport takes hours with transfers, and nearby dining is limited. With a private car and English-speaking guide, travel and meals are smooth.

❑ A Personalised Journey
Free from rigid schedules, you’ll explore with a local guide and private vehicle. Insider stories, flexible timing, and photo gifts ensure a truly special day.
