About this experience
Nagano Snow Monkey Park & Shiga Kogen Maruike Park Day Tour This day trip from Nagano combines two of Japan's most distinctive winter experiences. You'll start at Shiga Kogen Maruike Park, one of Japan's highest-altitude ski resorts, where gentle snow activities like snowscooting, tubing and sledding await visitors of all ages. The highlight comes in the afternoon at Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, where you'll observe wild Japanese macaques soaking in natural hot springs against a snowy mountain backdrop. Your English-speaking guide handles all logistics, from pickup at Nagano Station to the 1.6-kilometre forest walk through beech and cedar trees to reach the snow monkeys. Between activities, you'll enjoy lunch at a mountain-view restaurant serving local favourites like katsu curry and sansai soba. This tour accommodates families and provides a rare chance to see behaviour found nowhere else on Earth. What's Included All entry and activity fees at Shiga Kogen Maruike Park Entry tickets to Snow Monkey Park Guided services by an English-speaking expert Round-trip transport from Nagano Station and attractions Lunch at a mountain-view restaurant Good to Know The tour runs from approximately 8:45am to 6:00pm, starting with pickup from Nagano Station or select hotels including Hotel Kokusai 21. You'll need moderate fitness for the 30-40 minute forest walk to Snow Monkey Park, covering 1.6 kilometres each way on potentially snowy paths. Bring warm, waterproof clothing and comfortable walking boots. Snow activities at Shiga Kogen are designed for all ages and skill levels. While monkey sightings are highly likely, they're not guaranteed as these are wild animals. Return times may vary due to winter road conditions. The tour operates year-round but is particularly spectacular during snow season from December through March. If you're exploring more of Japan's natural wonders, consider pairing this with other regional experiences. For those staying longer in the area, you'll find plenty of day trips from Tokyo that showcase Japan's diverse landscapes and wildlife encounters beyond the capital.
