Guest Services Hakuba Guest Services Monkey Park & Zenkoji Temple Tour

The Jigokudani Monkey Park is a fantastic place to visit during the winter months when the monkeys use the waters. A day tour is easily arranged as part of a ski or snowboard trip to Hakuba Ski Resort, also located in Nagano prefecture. The Hakuba Valley Lift Pass as well as equipment rental with Central Snowsports allows for 1-2 rest days on your pass to take a break from skiing and enable you to do the day trips guilt free, either at the beginning, middle or end of your stay in Hakuba.

The trip from Hakuba takes about one and a half hours including a rest stop en route. The bus journey itself is part of the appeal, rambling through the scenic mountainous area of traditional Nagano prefecture, as an English speaking guide explains the history of the local farmers and architecture. Upon arrival at the park, it is a 30 minute walk through the forest to where the monkeys reside. Following the monkey park, the tour includes a set lunch at a traditional sake brewery in the historic town of Obuse, followed by a trip to the famous Zenkoji Temple in Nagano city, before heading back to Hakuba.
