Snow Monkey and Cherry Blossom Illumination Tour

Start the day off by visiting the Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani Monkey Park. Plumes of steam shoot out of the ground and jagged cliff edges line the walkway to the park, creating an experience to last a lifetime. As winter comes to an end and temperatures slowly rise, this is the last chance to see the Snow Monkeys bathe in the hot springs this year!

Following the Snow Monkey Park, we offer you an exclusive look into the historic Onsen Village of Shibu. It is not uncommon to see locals and visitors walking the streets in traditional clothing such as kimono and geta (wooden sandals).

Explore the grounds of Takada Castle in wonder as you immerse yourself in the cherry blossoms that fill the entire area. Takada Castle is rated as being within the top 3 places in all of Japan to view cherry blossoms at night, owing to its 4000 sakura trees and spectacular illumination.

At the castle, there are also many food stalls to choose from, ranging from curry bread to yakisoba to dango!

See the Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani (Hell Valley) Snow Monkey Park, named for the plumes of steam rising from the ground, as if from hell itself! Despite the name, this is a fun and unforgettable trip for the whole family.

Shibu Onsen is a traditional Onsen town, full of rich culture, beautiful narrow backstreets, and of course 9 public onsen. Sometimes some more wild monkeys can even show up to cause trouble!

See the beautiful cherry blossoms at Takada Castle during the evening. This is officially ranked within the top 3 night-time cherry blossom viewing locations in Japan!
