3.From Tokyo: Snow Monkey 1 Day Tour with Beef Sukiyaki Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 295 reviews · 1 day · from $151

Tokyo to Nagano for snow monkeys in hot springs, plus beef sukiyaki lunch, Jigokudani valley views, and a guided coach day trip.

“Our day was awesome and our guide was excellent and very informative. The lunch was delicious and we really enjoyed seeing all the monkeys run around, playing and soaking in the hot springs. It was a long uphill walk and because there was hardened snow on the walking path, it made it harder to walk on, but well worth it once you get to the area.”
