superb atmosphere and value for money very nice food and the staff were very polite and supportive , especially Mr. Manickam and Mr. Pramod. Really happy for their support and service.
Great experience, can certainly recommend this. Our guide was Shawn and he was excellent, very knowledgeable and always made sure we were ok.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience on the Zenko-ji tour, tea ceremony, and temple stay. Immersing yourself in a shukubo is such a special way to experience the culture and peaceful atmosphere of Nagano, and we are so glad it resonated with you. Shawn will be thrilled to hear your kind words! He always goes above and beyond to share his knowledge and make sure our guests feel cared for throughout the day. Thank you again for joining us and for your recommendation. We hope the memories from your temple stay remain a highlight of your time in Japan! Let us know if you are coming over for another trip and we would be happy to help!
Our very nice tour guide Nadine gave us a comprehensive and impressive insight into Japanese tradition, food, and of course temple life with ceremonial customs. Thank you for that.
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie eine fantastische Zeit bei der Zenko-ji Tour und der Übernachtung im Shukubo hatten. Das Eintauchen in die japanischen Traditionen, das Essen und die zeremoniellen Bräuche des Tempellebens ist eine ganz besondere Erfahrung, und es ist schön zu wissen, dass sie Ihnen so positiv in Erinnerung geblieben ist. Nadine wird sich riesig über Ihr Lob freuen! Es liegt ihr sehr am Herzen, unseren Gästen die lokale Kultur und Geschichte mit viel Begeisterung näherzubringen. Nochmals herzlichen Dank, dass Sie mit uns in Nagano waren. Wir hoffen, Sie nehmen unvergessliche Erinnerungen mit nach Hause und freuen uns darauf, Sie vielleicht irgendwann wieder in Japan begrüßen zu dürfen!
Thank you Alissa, your help was appreciated by my boyfriend for the explanations about the culture and by me for trying to explain to the locals that I don't eat meat 🍖🚫 We also booked this temple stay due to the fact that they could offer food without meat / fish. The food was delicious and a good way to try different samples of the local cuisine. Thank you, we hope to come back to Japan in the future and do another tour ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the glowing 10/10 review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you both enjoyed the Zenkoji tour, Tea Experience, and Temple Stay. Navigating dietary preferences while traveling can sometimes be tricky, so we are so glad Alissa could bridge the communication gap seamlessly for you! Our team works closely with the local shukubo to ensure vegetarian guests can enjoy authentic, delicious shojin ryori (traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) without any stress. Alissa will be delighted to read your kind words! She loves sharing the deep culture of the area and making sure every single guest feels completely taken care of. Thank you again for choosing to spend such a special part of your trip with us. We hope you get to return to Japan soon, and we would love nothing more than to welcome you back on another tour!
Tour guide Alissa was great - knowledgeable and took us to some places we wouldn't have found ourselves. Fabulous tea ceremony experience with very friendly people. Shukubo stay was a good experience of traditional Japan but the hostess was fierce and not very friendly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest review! We are glad to hear that you had a good overall experience and enjoyed exploring Nagano with us. Alissa will be delighted to read your kind words! She loves taking guests off the beaten path to discover hidden local spots, and we are so pleased that the traditional tea ceremony proved to be a warm and fabulous highlight for you. We also really appreciate your candid feedback regarding your stay at the shukubo. While traditional temple lodgings offer a unique and authentic glimpse into traditional Japanese life, we want every part of your stay to feel welcoming and comfortable. We will certainly pass your comments along to ensure our partner lodgings maintain a warm, hospitable atmosphere for all our guests. Thank you again for choosing to explore Zenkoji and experience a temple stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another one of our tours in the future!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and high recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable and memorable experience in Nagano with us. It is wonderful to know that your guide's deep knowledge of local culture and history brought the journey to life! Combining the sacred morning fire ritual (Goma) at Zenkoji with the traditional tea ceremony and sake tasting makes for such a rich, authentic taste of Japanese heritage, and we are so glad every one of those highlights resonated with you. Thank you again for choosing to explore the temple district and stay at a shukubo with us! It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another one of our tours in the future!
Booked through snow monkey our Alissa was great we stayed overnight at the temple accommodation which was better than expected- the tour around the temple, tea ceremony and sake tasting plus food was so good - we paid extra to do attend the pryers the next day which was great and our volunteer guide was superb - definitely recommend
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review and recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that your experience exceeded your expectations in every way. Alissa will be delighted to read your kind words! Combining the deep history of Zenko-ji Temple with the tea ceremony, sake tasting, and local cuisine makes for a truly immersive cultural journey, so we are glad you enjoyed every part of it. It is also wonderful to hear that your shukubo temple lodging provided such a comfortable, high-quality stay. Attending the early morning O-Asaji prayers the next morning is such a peaceful and special ritual, and we are so glad your volunteer guide made that extra experience so memorable for you! Thank you again for booking with Snow Monkey Resorts. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another one of our tours in the future!
I had an excellent experience with Kevin as our guide. The communication was outstanding from start to finish, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and cultured, and he answered all of our questions in great detail, always with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. He speaks fluent, native-level English and also has a strong command of Japanese, which made it much easier to interact with locals and access places we wouldn’t have been able to navigate on our own. We also really appreciated the warm welcome and his flexibility in adapting the meeting point to suit us. The experience felt very high-quality and personal, especially since it was just the two of us, which made it even more special. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who can afford it — it’s truly worth it. Additionally, our overnight stay in a shukubo at a temple near Zenkoji was a very positive experience. The welcome was warm, and the host was attentive and caring throughout our stay.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure to hear that your private tour and stay in Nagano were so rewarding. Kevin was thrilled to hear your feedback, he truly enjoys using his language skills and cultural knowledge to open doors that might otherwise stay closed to visitors. We believe that the best way to experience Zenkoji is through those deep conversations and local interactions, so we’re glad you felt it was a special day. We are also so pleased that your shukubo stay was warm and welcoming; there is truly nothing like the peace of a temple at night. Thank you for your high recommendation, and we hope the serenity of Nagano stays with you! Warm regards, The Snow Monkey Resorts Team
Excellent tour w/ Kevin and authentic shukobo stay! Would highly recommend
Hello! We’re so happy you enjoyed your tour with Kevin! We’re glad he could help make your visit to Zenkoji so memorable. There is truly nothing like the experience of a traditional shukubo stay to complete a trip to Nagano. We hope to see you again!
Shawn was a fabulous tour guide, being happy, friendly, very informative and checking in on us making sure we enjoyed our tour. The tour was great value for money and well paced. Alissia, who was learning was a beautiful girl who accompanied Shawn on the tour. She was lovely too. I highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Shawn as your Guide!!!!
Dear Guest, What a glowing review! Thank you so much for the high recommendation. Shawn was absolutely delighted to hear your feedback, and we are also so grateful for your kind words about Alissa. We pride ourselves on training the next generation of great guides, and having guests as lovely as you makes that process so much easier for them! We’re thrilled you found the tour well-paced and great value, and we hope to see you back in Nagano or elsewhere in Japan again someday. Warmly, The Snow Monkey Resorts Team
