Tour description

Snow Monkey and Cherry Blossom Illumination Tour (3rd ~19th Apr) is a tour in Nagano Prefecture. Snow Monkey and Cherry Blossom Illumination Tour (3rd ~19th Apr) has a rating of 5.00/5.00.

Start the day off by visiting the Snow Monkey Park. 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).

Finally, end the night at Takada Castle. Takada Castle is one of the top 3 places in Japan to view cherry blossoms at night, featuring 4,000 sakura trees with spectacular illumination. Visitors can immerse themselves in the pale pink full bloom across the entire grounds. The lighting creates a mirror-like reflection of the trees on the placid moat waters. Additionally, the site hosts many food stalls offering treats like curry bread, yakisoba, and dango.
