Ski Japan Holidays — Local services in Hakuba

I took the tour with John who was such a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. I was picked up on time at the Echoland Hakuba Base Camp bus station. We had a wonderful drive to the Snow Monkey park. On the way we discussed the history of the region. It was fascinating to hear John's insight, as he has lived in the area for around 30 years. The Snow Monkeys were amazing. There were several in the bath at any given time, with other monkeys coming and going. After the monkeys, we visited the historic Obuse town, where I had a great fish sukiyaki lunch, which was better than expected. I also visited the sake brewery. I wish we had another 15 minutes of time in this town because I missed the Hokusai Museum, which, in hindsight, is something I should have done. We ended at the temple in Nagano, which had a very expansive ground. I took so many photos that my phone ran out of juice, so bring an battery backup. I was dropped off at Nagano train station, instead of going back to Hakuba, which made my transit to my next destination all the easier. Cheers John and everyone! Thanks for...

Highly recommend this tour! My partner and I honestly had the best day! The tour guide, John, and the tour itself was above all our expectations. Seeing the snow monkeys, followed by the most amazing, authentic Japanese lunch, and seeing Zenkoji temple at the end was a day to remember. Being able to see and taste food and wine/sake from local shops nearby (throughout the tour) gave us the full experience we were after whilst being in Japan. We encourage everyone to book this tour, as you will be blown away. A special thanks to John who did an amazing job as the tour guide, super friendly, knowledgeable and charismatic. We learned so much, and we now have this tour as a special, lifelong...

Snow Monkey Tour We went on the snow monkeys tour from habuka. Our guide John was amazing. Excellent knowledge of all the areas travelled. Excellent driver who was very friendly. The food was amazing and service was brilliant. The little village we stopped at was wonderful and the Buddhist temple was cold but worth it. I would highly recommend this tour and the company. Atvthecend of the tour we could not get a taxi so the company sent a driver for us. What amazing service. Thank you for making this experience...
