Overview
Escape the city on this full-day guided trip from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture, beginning at the famous Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, where wild Japanese macaques can be seen bathing in natural hot springs against a mountain backdrop — a rare, close-up view of this natural spectacle.
From there, continue to Zenkoji Temple, one of Japan's oldest and most important Buddhist temples and home to the first Buddha statue ever brought to the country. Take a peaceful stroll through its grand gates and historic grounds, learning about its spiritual significance from your knowledgeable local guide, and sample local specialties such as soba noodles along the way.
This is a private tour with a dedicated vehicle and driver for the full day, giving you a comfortable, flexible pace between Jigokudani and Zenkoji without depending on train and bus connections. Your guide can also tailor the plan on request within the tour's allotted time.
