Our snow monkey private tours from Nagano

Apart from the regular tours above, we provide private tour from Nagano (Nagano Station or nearby hotels). Our English-speaking guide takes you to the Monkey Park. This tour includes a car and a guide.

The price of this private tour largely depends on car size (group size) and car type. If the group size is small, the guide will drive the car himself. If the group size is larger than 6 people, we will arrange for a professional driver to drive the car. The latter will incur a higher tour fee. If the number of participants is 9 or more, a microbus will be needed.

Our tours are more flexible than those offered by tour operators. For example, it is not impossible to take you to Takayama or Matsumoto after the monkey park tour.

please contact us from this link.

You should contact us at least two weeks prior to the intended tour date. Please note that due to the limited number of drivers and guides available, we may not be able to arrange tours on your preferred dates. Please understand this in advance.
