About This Tour
Experience the famous Snow Monkeys and historic Shibu Onsen on this scenic afternoon tour! Enjoy exclusive priority entry, while others wait in long ticket lines, our guests receive pre-secured tickets for immediate access. The journey features a guided drive through beautiful orchards. Reaching the park requires a 30-minute walk (2km) on snowy paths; you will have 50 minutes to enjoy the monkeys. Please note that the monkeys may not always appear in the park, especially in October and November. Next, visit Tamamura Honten sake brewery (closed Sun/Holidays) in Shibu Onsen and then explore the 1,350-year-old town with our guide-you might even spot local monkeys in the streets! We recommend booking any day except Sunday and Wednesday when many shops close. Returns to Iiyama (17:10) and Nozawa (17:30) are not guaranteed. Delays of 30+ minutes often occur due to weather or traffic. Please allow a generous time buffer for train or dinner reservations. Book now to secure your spot!
