Snow Monkey Resorts Tours: Pickup at Yamanoeki

Based in Nagano and operating all year round, we look forward to offering a couple of winter-only tours each year.

Taking advantage of the great snow on offer in Shiga and its close proximity to the Jigokudani Monkey Park, our winter tours in Shiga Kogen are some of our most popular each year – we hope you can join us!

For guests staying in Shiga Kogen, we offer pickup at Shiga Kogen Yamanoeki for our popular 1-Day Snow Monkeys & Snowmobiling in Shiga Kogen Tour.

This enjoyable one-day tour combines a visit to the world famous Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park with lunch and morning snowmobiling in Japan’s largest mountain resort, Shiga Kogen. Led by a locally-based, English-speaking guide and certified snowmobile instructor, this tour highlights the best of Nagano in winter and excitement of Japan’s biggest and best resort!
