Tour Description
Our Private Tour offers you the opportunity to have an exclusive and personal experience at the Snow Monkey Park and Shibu Onsen. The early departure time allows you to enter the park when it is at its quietest, while also having the best opportunity to see Snow Monkeys as they love to bathe early in the morning!
We here at IXSM pioneered the very first tour to come see these wild Macaque monkeys relaxing in their natural hot spring baths, and are proud to be able to offer the original and best chance to see the Snow Monkeys of Japan. We have 5 years of experience; guided thousands of guests from dozens of countries; so rest assured you are in safe hands.
After visiting with the Monkeys we offer you the exclusive look into the historic Onsen Village of Shibu. The opportunity to be guided around by a local proves invaluable as they take you through the winding backstreets and alleyways, showing you the very best the town has to offer. This village is a picture from the past. As you stroll through the narrow streets lined with traditional buildings, some hundreds of years old, you might just get to see some wild monkeys as they wander through town looking for food.
If sake is more your thing, you can request to be guided around the sake brewery right across the street from town! Please note that the brewery does not open on Sundays.
Our professional, experienced English-speaking staff can offer the bilingual service that ensures peace of mind and an unforgettable day tour to your already memorable holiday here in Japan!
