  • TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best 2022’ Award: Our 1-Day Snow Monkey, Zenko-ji Temple & Sake Tour Named One of Japan’s Top 10 Travel Experiences!

    We are happy to announce that our 1-Day Snow Monkeys, Zenko-ji Temple & Sake Tour has again been recognized as one of the Top 10 travel experiences in Japan having received a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best 2022’ award. We would like to thank all guests who joined the tour in the past year including those who took the time to provide a review.

    Travelers’ Choice Award winners are determined based on the millions of reviews and opinions collected in a single year from TripAdvisor travelers worldwide, with multiple categories including the coveted Top Experiences in Japan announced this week. Snow Monkey Resorts is honoured to be recognised among Japan’s best tour providers based on the bookings and reviews provided by our guests via TripAdvisor.

    Recognition of the tour as one of the best experiences in Japan is especially satisfying given the challenges of the past two years and the ongoing impact of the global pandemic on international tourism. It speaks to the hard work of our staff and our continued focus on delivering entertaining and memorable experiences for our guests as we look forward to the return of inbound tourism in the near future.

    Our 1-Day Snow Monkeys, Zenko-ji Temple & Sake Tour operates throughout the year, combining a morning visit to Nagano’s near-1400 year old Zenko-ji Temple with ‘sake’-tasting and lunch in Nagano City before heading to the Jigokudani Monkey Park for an early after visit. Operating to and from Nagano Station, the tour start and end times are coordinated with Shinkansen / ‘Bullet Train’ arrivals and departures making it easy to join from Tokyo and other cities as a day-trip. In winter, pick-up and drop-off is also extended to Hakuba allowing guests to enjoy a visit to the monkeys as part of their ski and snowboard adventure in Nagano.

    Just one of many group, special event and private tours we operate throughout the year, we hope you can join us in Nagano as we look forward to the border opening in the second half of 2022 and with one on eye already on winter 2022 / 23.
