Snow Monkey Park Trip (Jigokudani Monkey Park) 

After your breakfast in the hotel, you take a train from Tokyo to Nagano, and meet your private guide at the Nagano station. Together you are heading to the most famous attraction of Nagano City-The Snow Monkey Park.

This Park, also known as Jigokudani Yaen Koen, is a famous wildlife park located in the mountains of Nagano, Japan. The park is home to a group of Japanese macaques, commonly referred to as snow monkeys, who are known for their unique behavior of bathing in the park's natural hot springs during the winter months. Visitors can observe the snow monkeys up close in their natural habitat, as they relax and play in the steaming hot springs surrounded by snow-covered trees. The park also offers several hiking trails, which provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The Snow Monkey Park is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and animal lovers visiting Japan, and it offers a memorable and unique experience that is not to be missed.

After this amazing tour, the driver will return you to the train station and you take a train back to Tokyo.
