長野スノー モンキー 1 日ツアー、東京発の牛すき焼きランチ付き

My family tried Sukiyaki Yotaro for the very 1st time last night and we were delighted with not only the quality of the food served but also the level of service. The Simmered Wagyu Lean/Marbled Beef and Pork Loin Cutlet was prepared at our table by our waitress Nella in a comforting Katsutoji style. It was accompanied by a hearty serving of fresh vegetables. It brought a homely touch to the spread. The golden-fried pork cutlet is gently simmered in a sweet-savoury dashi broth and topped with a soft, barely set egg. Despite the simmering process, the pork retained its tenderness, while the panko crust soaked up the flavourful broth. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures — crisp, juicy, and silky .... no wonder this is their most popuar dish. We each were served a luscious golden egg yolk which created a visually inviting dish. Once mixed, the yolk lends a velvety richness that complements the meats' natural sweetness and umami. The delicate marbling melts effortlessly on the palate, delivering a clean yet indulgent start to the meal. We were delighted with our evening experience, and this place will be highly recommended to family & friends.

This was one attraction I was looking forward to, but ended up being disappointed. The tour left at 8am and returned at 8pm. Had I known that there was a bullet train back, I would have jumped on it in a heartbeat. The guide did not stop talking; she would tell stories, she sang, the speaker was right above my head and there was no way to lower her tone of voice. It was awful. The bus first stopped at a service station and they told everyone to be back on time, but of course two people were late. Then the bus stopped for lunch at a dining hall full of other bus loads of tourists and it was not very good. The bus then continued to the snow monkey park, where you would just venture out on your own. It was a 40 min walk uphill, in snow and sleet with ton of people going up and ton of people coming down. Once you think you have made it, now there were 40 steep steps to go up and continue to the hill. Now you will hit a line of tourists and the bus guide has to go and get tickets and hand them out first before you can continue. The place was full of people, the poor monkeys were running rampant, people were not respecting their space or other people trying to take pictures. Then you still had to walk back. This is not suitable for people with disabilities or mobility issues. I took a hot long bath once I came back to the hotel. Mind, the lunch at 11am was only food that was included, we returned back after 8pm because of traffic.

I really enjoyed this bus tour from Tokyo to Nagano. Everything was well organized from start to finish, so I could simply relax and enjoy the day. The guides were kind, professional, and shared interesting information throughout the trip. The driver was excellent, and the ride was smooth and comfortable. The park itself was beautiful and definitely worth visiting. Thank you to the whole team for making this such a pleasant experience. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan.

Best guide and assistant we have ever had we have mobility issues so many times have to skip activities. The staff did not give up on us and made sure all of us did the activities reached the top and enjoyed the snow monkeys. This was not enough in their customer care and support they went much beyond and helped us to get on the train to get back to our hotel as we did not know the language or have any net. This was so so so kind of them we could not have done it without their kindness and understanding. We are very grateful 🙏 to both your staff. They are a credit to your organization. They were so clear with their guiding and we're the best in our entire Japan trip. Thank you 😊 🙏

Great way to see the snow monkeys when not included in your own tours schedule. It is a long distance from Tokyo and would be hard to get there by yourself. The transport was comfortable, with good leg room, access to wi fi and comfort break. The meal provided was a local speciality but you need to consider getting food on return journey as delays can mean you are too late back to get an evening meal. The monkeys put on a lovely show and we were lucky to see so many, with some even taking a dip in the hot spring pool. A long day but was worth it for me.

Great experience with professional and friendly guides and drivers. Lunch was delicious and the snow monkeys super cute.

The monkeys were so cute, and lunch was delicious. Our tour guide Shin was kind and pleasant, and we got Japanese candies.

This was a trip we had wanted to do ever since we booked our return to Japan. We had a high level of expectations, and the reality didn't quite live up to them. It was a warm day, so the monkeys weren't bathing in the pool, but that is NOT the fault of the tour operator. There were monkeys there around the man-made pool, and they were cute, ignoring the humans and doing what they wanted to do. The lunch was great, and the tour was well organised once we found our guide. TIP - The meeting places have hundreds of people milling around. Know who your guide is and shout their name as the flag/tour name isn't always the same as on the instructions. WARNING - it is a 1.8km walk/trek, with some steep terrain to where the monkeys are, so take that into account before undertaking the trip. If we are honest, we probably overfaced ourselves, but really glad we did it. I would recommend, provided you are fitter than us! I would also say that if the weather was 'ideal' for the monkeys bathing then not sure we would have been able to make the trek

Awesome tour. Shin our guide was very entertaining and informative. The track was very manageable and hardly muddy at all. If it was snowing it would be much harder. Much warmer than we were expecting too. The monkeys were very cool and came up very close. One thing to note was the trip back took 5.5 hours due to Sunday night traffic. So be prepared for that possibility. Otherwise a great trip!

It's a long drive and quite a walk to the compound but certainly well worth it. The tour guide and driver were awesome ! The monkeys are quite social and unafraid of the humans wandering around watching them and taking photos - sometimes you would think they are posing for you! I love nature so enjoyed every single minute of being around them.
