Our day trip to the Jigokudani Monkey Park with a local tour operator was an absolute highlight of our visit to Nagano. The sight of snow monkeys soaking in the hot springs against a snowy backdrop was nothing short of magical. The trip was well-organized, ensuring we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and capture unforgettable moments. It’s a unique experience that I believe everyone should have the chance to see.
