You can enjoy to observe lovely wild monkeys bathing in an outdoor hot spring at Snow Monkey Park. Each monkey has different personality and it's quite fun to be able to watch them from very close.
After the monkey park, we are visiting an old Shinto shrine called Togakushi shrine which has been one of the most important place for the mountain worship since ancient era. The shrine and precincts forest are all covered with thick snow during the winter season. However,by snowshoeing, it is the perfect opportunity to discover areas that are inaccessible any other time of the year. Frozen bodies of water and a heavy carpet of snow make otherwise untraversable terrain accessible. I will lead you to these undisturbed areas, so you can explore and appreciate the unspoiled nature around you.
I'm a National Government licensed guide interpreter as well as licensed mountain trekking guide.
Let's have a cup of coffee on the snow made table and chair :)

We had a wonderful day with three kids seeing the snow monkeys and snow show hiking. Kouhei was a friendly, patient and informative guide. How English is excellent and of led the perfect location for an afternoon hike at the level our kids could handle. It was a really magical day and gave us a hunger to do a longer adventure in the snow on the future!
