The snow monkeys are a long way from Tokyo, around 80 minutes by shinkansen to Nagano and then an hour’s drive into the mountains. A private tour handles that last stretch and lets you linger by the pool with the macaques instead of watching a group clock.
Keen to explore Japan's wonders? Discover the Snow Monkey Park and Zenko-ji Temple on a private tour, where surprises await just around the corner.
