The world famous Snow Monkeys of nearby Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park continue to be a popular day trip for our guests.  And the green season (spring/summer) is a great time to go as the baby snow monkeys born in the spring time are energetic balls of fur running all over the park.

The Snow Monkey Park is an easy 25 minute train from Togura to Nagano, then a convenient 45 minute express bus to the trailhead.  Alternatively, especially when the bus is full, you can take a train/local bus between Nagano and the trailhead.

Here is the full train and bus schedule:
