5.00It was a lovely day with our guide Umut. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the day, and the local customs. We went up to a snowy resort area and went snowmobiling for a long time before having a delicious lunch and relaxing in the onsen. Everyone was super flexible with the time and helped us along the way as we learned to ride. We also had the chance to join a snowcat clearing the mountaintop which was a great experience. I would recommend staying at the resort associated with the tour if possible as well. It was in a lovely area and had a great onsen and meal.
Fantastic day out with snowmobiles for family. Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen

5.00Fantastic experience out for the family. Umut organised a great day out!. Picked us up from our hotel in Nozawa after breakfast, drove us out to shiga kogen for 2 Adults and 2 kids for 2 hours on snowmobiles, instruction and tour. Went to lunch, having soba and udon, and kaarage. Then had time for snow monkey park or onsen, before dropping us back to hotel. Awesome day out! Helped us with food allergies and any requests and questions.
Covered all the bases
