For groups of 5 or more people, a rental car/van large enough to fit your group will be included (at no additional cost).
- Snow Monkeys in warmer seasons: The snow starts to melt in March, and the snow monkeys may not bathe as often as they did in the winter to keep warm. Guests may see the snow monkeys taking a swim as the park staff gives them lunch, but unlike winter months, there are definitely days when the monkeys just do not feel like entering the bath. When it is warm and the sun is out, the monkeys tend to be more active and move around the area. The monkeys are more likely to be grooming in the warmer seasons. While Winter is not the only time to see snow monkeys, please note that they are wild animals and it is difficult to predict their behavior. You can still visit the Snow Monkey Park, but seeing the snow monkeys and watching them bathe is not always guaranteed.
- This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

Tour guide was informational and his recommendation for lunch was awesome. Took us to a cherry farm during our tour. This was a private tour. We felt safe with him. Even chased an overly aggressive snow monkey away.
Our tour guide Mr Ilhom is wonderful! He showed concern about our needs. And explained to us the itinerary very well. We made special request to the Strawberry farm, he checked and brought us there. What a great trip. We have lots of Strawberry! We also enjoyed the lunch he brought us to. Udon and Soba, was delicious. Not forgetting the dessert, Mont Blanc, my favourite! We wil recommend friends and come back again.
This tour was amazing!
