Overview

Visit the delightful town of Obuse, known for its artistic connection to Hokusai and its exquisite chestnut confections.

Witness the world-famous Snow Monkeys (Jigokudani Yaen-Koen) as they bathe in natural hot springs—a unique wildlife spectacle.

Then, soak in the historical charm of Shibu Onsen, a picturesque Edo-era hot spring village.

The tour concludes in Discover the spiritual gravity of Zenkoji Temple, one of Japan’s oldest and most significant Buddhist sites.

This day trip offers a perfect blend of wild nature, authentic history, and peaceful cultural exploration.

Customization is available, please contact us.

**Please keep in mind that while the park is open year-round, monkey sightings are never guaranteed—especially if it isn't cold enough for them to bathe in the hot springs. It’s a good idea to check the park's livestream before your visit.
