Fabulous experience. Our driver Mr Nishi was excellent. Our guide Hiroshi was very informative. Lucky to see lots of snow monkeys. Walk through forest was beautiful. The Togakushi Shrine was lovely. A reasonably long walk in with quite a few stairs at the end. Beautiful walk through very old cedar trees. There was fog on our walk out, which gave the forest a magical appearance.
Even in the rain I had such a wonderful time. Going during the end of summer to the monkey park was surprisingly great, the baby monkeys were all out swinging around and the crowds weren’t huge. I also had the best guide Alyssa and since I was the only person who booked the tour it was just like hanging out with a really knowledgeable friend!
Meeting place was convenient as my hotel was nearby. My guide Endo was informative and friendly and our driver was great, very personable and kind. Due to weather Endo suggested we switched the order of our sight-seeing - the long and can be challenging Togakushi (five shrines) first then head to snow monkey park later in the afternoon. The hike to the shrines surrounded by old cedar trees were serene and spectacular. We did many prayers this day and it is good for much enlightenment and reflection. The hike to the snow monkey park wasnt as difficult and we saw so many of them this sunny day! Lunch was good. A variety of tempura, sushi and a steamed vegetable and your choice of protein was being done at the table. Enjoyed the day, the exercise and the views. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Jeanne! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a serene and enlightening day. Endo will be delighted to know that his thoughtful decision to adjust the itinerary for the weather made your hike through the majestic Togakushi cedar trees and your visit to the snow monkeys so enjoyable. We are also glad you loved the delicious lunch and the company of our driver. Thank you for exploring Nagano with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Thank you to our guide Endo and our driver for an amazing visit of the snow monkeys and Togakushi shines. We learned a lot from our friendly guide and he answered all our questions. The timing was very good for both sites and lunch. We weren’t rushed. We went in August right after an overnight rainstorm and there were many monkeys and babies. Hanging out with the monkeys was a highlight for the teenager in our group. The cedar path was the highlight for me. It was worth the money for the professional guide, efficient transportation, and reliability. We were there during the summer holiday week and it was still not too crowded.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your teenager had such an amazing time visiting the snow monkeys and the stunning cedar path at Togakushi Shrine. Endo and our driver will be delighted to know their friendly guidance and smooth organization made your summer holiday trip so memorable. Thank you for choosing us, and we would love to welcome you back for another tour whenever your travels bring you back to Japan!
