1. The tour guide will pick you up at most hotels in central Tokyo. If your hotel is not listed, please let us know, and we might still be able to arrange a pick-up. From Tokyo Station, we together take the Bullet Train bound for Nagano. Let's enjoy super comfortable Japanese highspeed train taking approx 1.5 hours. After being picked up from your hotel in central Tokyo, you'll embark on an exciting ride on Japan's high-speed Shinkansen, also known as the Bullet Train, from Tokyo Station. The journey takes about 50 minutes. On a clear day, you might catch a stunning view of Mt. Fuji through the train windows, making the experience even more memorable.

   2 hEntrée incluse

2. After getting off the bullet train, we will take either highway bus or local train to Snow Monkey Park (Jigokudani Yaen Koen). While traveling by bus or train, you can enjoy scenic views of the beautiful rural landscapes, surrounded by mountains, in Nagano Prefecture. The highway bus directly takes you to near the entrance of the trail that leads you to Snow Monkey Park. By train, it will reach to a small local hotsprings town called Yudanaka. From Yodanaka, you will take a local bus that takes you to the entrance of the trail.

   1 h

3. We will take a pleasant 40-minute walk on the trail that lead you to the park. In winter, trail is covered with snow and ice, so mountain boots or proper gears need to be required. **Caution** The trail is an unpaved mountain path with steep stairs. In winter, the entire trail is often heavily covered with snow and ice. We recommend wearing mountain boots or waterproof shoes equipped with ice spikes (detachable ice spikes can be purchased at the shop). Walking poles or snow sticks are also recommended.

   40 minEntrée incluse

4. Experience the world-famous Snow Monkey Park, known as one of the few places in the world where wild monkeys (Japanese macaques) enjoy soaking in outdoor hot spring baths.

If you wish to spend more time at Snow Monkey Park, the visit to Zenkoji Temple will be omitted.)

About Tokyo

Quartiers au néon, sanctuaires paisibles, cuisine superbe : Tokyo est une immense métropole ordonnée, reliée par des trains ponctuels.

Chaque quartier a des allures de ville à part entière. Le célèbre carrefour de Shibuya et les tours, les bars et les ruelles de Golden Gai à Shinjuku vibrent d'énergie, tandis qu'Harajuku mêle mode des jeunes et calme boisé du sanctuaire Meiji Jingu. À Asakusa, le temple Sensō-ji et sa rue marchande font vivre un Tokyo plus ancien, et Ginza propose de grands magasins raffinés et des galeries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
