Are you looking for a snow monkey tour from Kyoto or Osaka? We are sorry, but such a tour is not available. But if you take the train to Nagano Station, it is not impossible to visit Snow Monkey Park on a day trip from Kyoto or Osaka.
Anyway, to visit snow monkey park, you must first travel from Kyoto/Osaka to Nagano. Many Snow Moneky tours depart from Nagano Station, but group tours usually leave at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. So you will not make it out of Kyoto/Osaka in time that morning. I strongly recommend that you stay overnight in Nagano.
Private tours
On the other hand, private tours are an option. Nagano, Snow monkey park, Zenkoji temple English Guide Tour and Nagano/Tokyo: Snow Monkey and Zenkoji Temple Private Tour visit the famous Zenkoji Temple and other attractions in addition to the monkey park. These are private tours for up to 6 people and the price is fixed regardless of the number of people.
These are private tours, there will be no other guests, you will be able to negotiate your departure time at Nagano station. You may also be able to skip visits to Zenkoji Temple and other temples if time is of the essence.
For example, it takes about 4 hours from Shin-Osaka Station to Nagano Station via Nagoya Station or Tsuruga Station. If you take the Tokaido Shinkansen departing at 6:00 a.m. for Nagoya and change to the limited express Shinano, you can arrive at Nagano Station after 10:00 a.m. From there, Snow Moneky’s private tours can be used immediately to make a day trip to Snow Monkey from Osaka or Kyoto.
