Snow Monkeysパークツアーと  恵比寿KO花火フェス in 長野

The tour guide team was great & I really enjoyed the itinerary for the day! It was full without being excessive and the stop at the restaurant after the Snow Monkey park was great - a fantastic array of food and time to rest before making our way to the next stop to see the fireworks!! A word of caution to future travellers, the firework show spans over a few hours in the dark, so it gets really really cold after a while of sitting still! Plan to pack a few things to keep yourself warm (if you need, you can leave some items without valuables on the bus during other parts of the day), but make sure you're not dressed too heavily as there is a decent walk to the monkey park & back. I'd particularly like to thank Orlando for his great conversation and insight into Japanese culture and way-of-life, and wish him & all the other tour guides all the best for what the future has in store!

We had a great day, the activities were great and the organization was fluid. The guides were very invested in making everything go smoothly, which made the experience super fun!

The service was very attentive from the beginning of the gathering, and they also helped a lot when watching the snow monkeys. The accompanying staff in the car can speak Chinese which is great, especially Orlando from the red team who helped in Chinese from the beginning of the gathering. The fireworks are also very beautiful and the location is perfect. Good, it’s right in front of the fireworks display, and there’s also a private bus connecting it, which is great!

Great trip! Nice food! We visited the snow monkey hotspring park and watch the Nagano Ebisuko Hanabi show. Special thanks to our tour guides Sean and Orlando!

When I booked my 15-day trip to Japan, the number one thing I wanted to do was this 1-day tour with Snow Monkey Resorts. I really wanted to see the Ebisu-ko Fireworks Show, and a relaxing forest walk to see snow monkeys at Jigokudani was an added bonus. I had to spend a day on the train getting from Beppu to Nagano to do it and it was absolutely worth it! One, it's really nice to just get to show up somewhere and have someone else do all the work. And shuttle you around all day! Sure, the evening weather didn't happen to be in our favor this time (being November and all...), but that didn't detract from the fireworks. And the morning weather was actually perfect for monkey viewing! Lots and lots of monkeys this particular day. (If you're nervous about being right up next to wild animals like I am, one might say... too many monkeys! 😆) Lunch was amazing! I think it was the fanciest meal I ate the whole trip and I met some really great fellow travelers. And through all of it, Peter and Marie were the absolute best guides. They were very knowledgable about the monkeys and the Nagano area and were really easy to talk to. And they dealt with some last-minute, impossible-to-foresee challenges with calm, humor and grace which I really appreciated! The website is great and everything is laid out in detail. I knew exactly what to expect and I already have more Snow Monkey Resort tours in mind for my next trip!

Had a truly marvelous time in spite of the drizzle and was very glad to be part of the tour as the festival procedures seemed rather confusing even though I was familiar with Japan! Peter and Marie were warm, friendly and knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend both this tour and their very informative website 👍🏻

Peter & Marie Are excellent guides! We came to Nagano for this experience and it was well worth it. The weather didn’t cooperate but our guides handled it well and it resulted in a very memorable experience. The fireworks were beautiful especially the ones set to music. We had plenty of time with the monkeys and we got to see so many. The normal restaurant used for the tour was under renovation so it was arranged to go to a different one and the food was delicious. We highly recommend this tour and would like to thank our guides for the great information and service!
