Tour Description

Jigokudani – Snow Monkey Park:
The steep and jagged cliff lines of Jigokudani Valley, hazed by the rising steam from the very depths of the earth, create a back drop not soon to be forgotten. Deep within this valley, live the Snow monkeys. Watch them relax in their natural hot springs, and live their lives right beside us!
We here at IXSM Travel, have pioneered the first tour to see the wild Macaque Monkeys, and to this day, are proud to provide the original and best chance to see the Snow Monkeys of Japan.

Shibu Onsen:
Let us guide you through the historic and traditional hot spring town of Shibu Onsen.
Steeped in history going back over 1300 years. See how the locals live, and see why so many wish to return.
Try some of the local hand baked sweets, and drink some of the locally brewed beer and sake, including the renowned Tamamura Honten, with their award winning beer, and traditionally made Sake. (Tamamura Honten open everyday except Sunday. So please book wisely!)
Experience the culture, and understand why so many of the locals choose to come here for their holiday.

With over 15 years of experience, we can guarantee a tour like no other, providing facts and information about the local produce, surrounding area, and more!
Join our skilled native English Speaking Staff, and experience Nagano our way.
