I wanted to see the snow monkeys, but had trouble finding a tour or information about them until I came across this post<\/a> by 3Aussietravelers, and I new straight away that we were definitely adding a day trip from Tokyo to our itinerary! <\/p>\n

I’m not going to go into detail about how to get there because 2Aussietravellers<\/a> post outlines it so well. In fact of it wasn’t for that post and Toni’s support in answering my questions I wouldn’t have felt confident in taking the journey.So get over there and check it out! <\/p>\n

Instead, I will just show you some pictures….<\/p>\n

\nThere is just a few things I would like to add.<\/b><\/p>\n

Firstly prices for tickets (not covered by JRail) have gone up slightly on what 2Aussietravellers quote in their post… buts that’s inflation for you! <\/p>\n

Secondly there is a bus that heads back directly to Nakano station from bus stop B. We found this out of a info sheet the lady gave us at the info booth at Yudanaka station. Price wise it is a little cheaper then the bus\/train option but it was more the convience that drew us in. I’m not sure if it runs in the opposite way… you could ask a Nagano station.<\/p>\n

The snow monkeys are there year round, we went in November and there wasn’t any snow yet but there were plenty of monkeys around and even some in the onsen.<\/p>\n

Fourthly it costs \u00a5800 for adults and \u00a5400 for children to get onto the monkey park which you pay once you get to the top of the trail.<\/p>\n

Lastly wear appropriate footwear and warm clothes! Our shoes got very muddy and standing still watching the monkeys it got quiet cold, although a guide had a fire going which people were huddled around.<\/p>\n

Also on a side note, the lovely lady at the information booth at Yudanaka station told us about a free foot onsen that’s on the opposite side of the station…. very relaxing! <\/p>\n

\nThanks again to 2Aussietravellers<\/a> for your\ufeff<\/span> great blog post which gave me the confidence to give this day trip a go! <\/p>\n

Safe travels <\/b><\/p>\n
