Nagano Spring : Visita guiada de 1 día a los cerezos en flor y los monos de nieve
Descripción
Este recorrido combina una visita al mundialmente famoso Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park con una tarde de observación de los cerezos en flor en algunos de los mejores sitios de flores de Nagano. Conocidas como 'sakura' en japonés, las impresionantes flores son una visita obligada para cualquier visitante en primavera, ya que los innumerables árboles en flor de Nagano florecen más tarde que en otras áreas: ¡la actividad perfecta para combinar con su visita a los Snow Monkeys!

Itinerario
Establecido en 1964, el mundialmente famoso Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park de Nagano es el hogar de la única manada de monos en el mundo conocida por bañarse en aguas termales. Sin barreras entre usted y los monos (no se preocupe, son muy tranquilos), esta es una oportunidad única para observar a estas curiosas criaturas de cerca mientras caminan a su alrededor, luchan entre sí, se acicalan sin cesar y, por supuesto, sumergirse en su fuente termal favorita! Su guía le presentará todo lo que los hace tan únicos y famosos y le dará suficiente tiempo para explorar por sí mismo. Tenga en cuenta que el tiempo estimado en el parque de los monos incluye entrar y salir por el sendero del bosque: 1,6 km en cada sentido / 25 minutos en cada sentido en verano, un poco más en invierno. Nos esforzamos por dar a nuestros huéspedes 1 hora en el parque para observar los monos.
Después de su visita a los monos, su guía lo acompañará a almorzar en un restaurante cercano. Este recorrido utiliza 'Enza Cafe' ubicado a poca distancia del parque o cerca de 'Japanese Dining GOEN'. Ambos restaurantes sirven un menú mixto japonés/occidental y son populares tanto entre los residentes locales como entre los visitantes.
Después del almuerzo, volverá al autobús turístico y se dirigirá a su tarde de 'hanami' (observación de flores). Supervisamos el estado de las flores en varios lugares de Nagano (algunos son famosos, mientras que otros son muy locales, pero todos son muy hermosos) y seleccionamos la mejor ubicación para cada recorrido del día. Por esa razón, normalmente no es posible aconsejar qué lugar visitaremos antes de un recorrido, pero tenga la seguridad de que elegimos el mejor lugar para que disfrute de las hermosas flores, deambule libremente y capture esas preciosas fotografías. Debe tener al menos 1,5 horas para disfrutar del lugar de los cerezos en flor que seleccionamos para su recorrido.

Tour on time. Guild, Kei, and the driver were awesome. Transport clean and comfortable. Monkeys are so cute and the blossoms abundant. Great Day!!!
We had a wonderful tour with guide, Endo. The pacing was excellent with enough time for the snow monkey park and the cherry blossom viewing without feeling rushed. The lunch was also delicious. I like that they scout out what cherry blossom sight is at peak so it will change on different days.
I was warned that this time of year we would not see the monkeys because it’s not winter and I’m so glad I didn’t listen to people that told me that because we saw so many and it was absolutely amazing! Make sure you’ve got good, sturdy shoes on because it’s a bit of a hike to get in to see them but absolutely worth it. Our guide Kei (Kay) could not have been kinder or more accommodating for my grandson and I. The restaurant for lunch was much nicer than what I’m used to on tours and the food was delicious. Seeing the cherry blossoms up close in full bloom is definitely a sight to behold. If you’re an animal lover, and want to be out in nature, I absolutely recommend this trip!!
We had a great time. The guide was fantastic. The lunch was fabulous. Cherry blossoms every where. The monkeys a must see! Highly recommend this tour.
Dear Rozz, Thank you for your 5-star review! We are thrilled you had a great time with us from the monkeys to the cherry blossoms - you definitely chose a nice time to visit Japan. We look forward to seeing you again! Snow Monkey Resorts
The trip was amazing! The monkey park was really fun, the lunch was great, and the cherry blossom spot they chose for us was truly beautiful! And of course, a shout out to the tour guide Kevin, who was really eganging, knowledgable and funny throughout the whole trip!
Our tour of snow monkey park luckily coincided with cherry blossom viewing time, so we booked this organised tour to give our brains a break from doing all the legwork ourselves. Kevin, our guide, was professional yet relaxed, informative and ensured everything ran on schedule. We went on a 45 seat bus to the Jigokudani snow monkey Park, where after the drop off point you walk a couple of kilometres at your own speed into the park proper, past forest and a small geyser to the onsen pool where the snow monkeys relax and play. Took so many photos! There were a couple of tiny remnants of snow along the path in April. Bring warm clothes. After an hour or two, we went back down at our own speed to meet Kevin and had an unexpectedly super delicious and large lunch in a heritage building. Tempura, sushi, miso soup and a broth with choice of seafood, meat or vegetarian components were on offer. Then the tour company had chosen Ueda castle for our cherry blossom viewing, as this coincided with Ueda's food stall fair at the castle moat. The bus took enough time to get there that the majority of passengers had a power nap. At Ueda, again we wandered at our leisure for an hour taking a multitude of photos of combinations of blossom, historical castle with its gates and shrines and high look outs over Ueda city, and locals walking their impossibly cute dogs around the stalls. Back on the bus for the smooth hour drive back to Nagano and to reflect on a memorable day. Very happy to recommend!
I had a great time and since I went solo, I was sat with kevin for lunch. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the area and provided suggestions for local wine to have with our included lunch. The snow monkey park was a nice experience and the cherry blossoms at the castle was amazing! He saw I was having trouble using with my chop sticks for food in my soup bowl, so he graciously showed me how to bring the bows toward me to be more efficient. We were given the option to go back on the train in Ueada to Tokyo instead of driving back to Nagano which was in the opposite direction- it helped get me to Tokyo much sooner. I will highly recommend him and the tour to my clients and friends. Thanks Kevin for a great day and I hope you get to see your mother soon.
Dear Axel, Thank you for your glowing review! It's wonderful to know that you had a great time and were impressed with the snow monkeys, lunch, and cherry blossoms. Kevin is indeed an excellent guide; he always strives to make the tours informative and one-of-a-kind. We also enjoyed seeing you photos - they are beautiful! We appreciate your strong recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon! Snow Monkey Resorts
We liked the tour, the guide was nice and provided a lot of interesting information. The included lunch was fantastic. We were disappointed by the second part, we were expecting to be brought to a place with higher concentration of cherry trees, instead we got to Ueda castle ruins. Yes there were cherry trees on the stroll between food stalls, but just as you can find anywhere without a guided tour.
Dear Daniele, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to know that your lunch was fantastic, and that your guide was informative. On the other hand, we are sorry that the cherry blossom viewing didn't meet your expectations. Ueda Castle Park is one of Nagano's highest ranked cherry blossom locations for the high concentration of cherry trees and magnificent view of the castle. We have a few blossom viewing locations we choose from to take guests based on the conditions on that specific day - and the choice was Ueda Castle on your tour date. We understand expectations and perceptions may vary, and we regret that you weren't wowed by this portion of the tour. We hope to provide a 5-star experience for you in the future.

Great experience, fun and friendly guide. It was a fun trip overall. Good vegetarian food was provided. The trial to the monkey park was about 2-2.5km, which was quite mucky given the rains, made it a bit exhausting. But it was worth the view to seee the monkeys enjoy the hot spring bath. The cherry blossom park was lovely!
Our guide Joyce was very friendly and had an answer to every question. In general, the tour was very interesting and informative and also gave you a lot of freedom to explore independently. The food was great and the views great. I was able to take many beautiful pictures. Should I book a tour again then very gladly again with Joyce.
