15/12/2024

"Excellent one day tour for people who want to see highlights of historical sights in Hiroshima and beautiful Miyajima I went for a solo trip with the guide, Isabella, and she was amazing at showing the best highlights of Hiroshima and Miyajima all in one day. I particularly enjoyed the history of Hiroshima city. I didn’t expect much of Miyajima, however I now realise it’s definitely a must see place for everyone visiting the area. All the sights in Hiroshima were in a comfortable walking distance and the stories along the way were very entertaining. Thereafter, taking a boat tour on the Ota river to get to the Miyajima island was a beautiful and relaxing experience. I had some delicious oysters and okonomiyaki on the island before resuming the tour to see the shrines, temples, the O-torii and of course the local deers. Isabella is a positive, organized, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. She also took some great pictures of me for my memory of this beautiful trip." - Alseit K (via Trip Advisor)

An amazing review of one of our newest tours in Hiroshima!

You've likely heard of the famed Snow Monkeys of Nagano, but have you heard of how the park started?

The founding of the park is thanks to a man called Sogo Hara. An employee of the Nagano Electric Railway (Nagano Dentetsu), Hara was a keen hiker who discovered the original troop while trekking through an area known as Jigokudani, or the ‘Valley of Hell’, in 1957.

At that time the monkeys faced several threats due to human encroachment into their native habitat, and had no choice but to migrate to the lower mountain regions, including Jigokudani, and into areas of human habitation in Yamanouchi. At this point they entered into conflict with local farmers whose crops they raided. Sogo Hara, seeing the need to fix this issue, decided to lure the monkeys back to the mountains with the help of the owners of a local inn, the Korakukan.

Learn the rest of the story on our website, or better yet, book a tour and hear the account from one of our experienced guides!

Our Location Spotlight this week is Nagoya's Hisaya-odori Park and Mirai Tower.

Renovated in 2020, Hisaya-odori Park is a two kilometer long green space in the heart of Nagoya. The park also has roughly 40 different restaurants, cafes, and shops offering everything from coffee and gelato to the latest fashion.

Located in the center of Hisaya-odori Park is the Mirai Tower. Originally constructed as a broadcasting tower for radio and TV in 1954, the 180 meter tower was the highest in Asia and was said to be the “Eiffel Tower of the East.” It quickly became one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city of Nagoya.

You can see these locations and learn more about the history of Nagoya (and it's delicious food) in our 1-Day Tour: Eat Like a Local in Nagoya. https://www.snowmonkeyresorts.com/tours/nagoya-food-tour/

Our Story

Based in Nagano and operating throughout the year, Snow Monkey Resorts (SMR) is a destination management company and leading tour and charter operator, covering Nagano and the mountainous region of Central Japan.

https://www.snowmonkeyresorts.com/

Our story is linked to that of the monkeys! We first opened the SMR Info & Gift Shop at the entrance to the Jigokudani Monkey Park, welcoming visitors from around the world. At the same time, we started providing tours to the park for a small number of international visitors.

Over the years, thanks to the support of our wonderful guests, we have grown into Nagano’s leading tour and charter operator. Welcoming thousands of international visitors to the region each year we continue to introduce numerous guests to the monkeys along with many other unique and engaging destinations.
