2.Nagano Spring: 1-Day Cherry Blossoms & Snow Monkeys Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · from $150Top rated

Meet Japanese macaques at Jigokudani Monkey Park, enjoy lunch nearby, then follow your guide to the Nagano cherry trees blooming best that day. Guides such as Joyce, Jens, Endo, Ryu, and Peter lead small groups of up to 20. Expect walking, flexible timing, and a possible Zenko-ji visit if blossoms are late.

“It was an exciting and memorable tour. Seeing snow monkeys is a must. Second half of the tour was in the park strolling amongst cherry blossoms and it was spectacular because of the small lake surrounded by those trees. Took hundreds of pictures. Lunch was good too. I recommend this tour for sure.”
