Great experience.
Such a great experience. Our guide had a wealth of experience and knowledge, happy to share and answer any questions. Ever thought it rained there was no pressure to hurry. It was a little late in the season but still good to see the monkeys.
Snow monkeys with a knowledgeable local guide.
Our wonderful guide Hori met us on the train from Nagano to Yudanaka, having provided clear instructions the day prior.
Excellent advice on footwear and clothing was sent by Hori prior to the excursion and was spot on, meaning we had a very comfortable day even with the cool temperature and light snow.
The visit to see the snow monkeys was greatly enhanced by Hori's knowledge of the history and geography of the area and lives of the monkeys.
Hori is professional and friendly and we had a fantastic time. The monkeys are amazing to watch and come very close to you. It is such a treat to see free and wild monkeys so well treated and able to come and go as they allow visitors to observe their lives.
Thank you Hori, we highly recommend this trip as well as the one to Obuse if you have time for both.
