    Close up voews of monkeys playing, preening each other, bathing in onsen. While you have to stay 1 meter away, they are not afraid of you and freely roam around you. We went in nov when the 2 day snow monkey pass was npt available. Can still ride the snow monkey express bus no.23 from outside nagano station whoch takes about 50 min- 1 way 1800 yen by visa or cash. Then 800 yen for admission to park. Takes about 30 min to walk from bus stop to park. Snow monkey park was the biggest highlight for our trip to japan/ nagano

    It was a whole day event. Check in was efficient. Ride was comfortable. Lunch was great. The drive to the snow monkey park was far and the walk could not tricky with the snow especially walking down hill - could be very slippery - Suggested to buy the spikes for the shoes which the guide would offer to you. The snow park was not big but it was cute to see the monkeys and if you are luck and patient, you might see them in the onsen. Ride back was long as we got into the traffic so suggest you do not plan anything in the evening. Overall, it was a great experience. Worth the money.

    Although it is a long bus ride (3hours there and back) it’s definitely worth it. The tour guide was lovely and I had a great time 👍

    When I think of Japan, Mt. Fuji, sumo wrestlers, sushi, kabuki, and of course snow monkeys! So I had to see before I left this beautiful country. It was well organized, stops along the way, lunch, and a walk through the forest. On your way back to the bus I recommend getting a muffin from the cafe, they were delicious.. they have other things such as chicken and fries, etc. All in all it was a long day but worth it and the tour guide was very nice. Also, bring something to entertain yourself because the bus ride is about 4 hours there and then you come back, so you'll be on the bus quite a bit.
