Snow Monkeys Holidays

Tourists flock to Shibu Onsen to see Japan’s ‘snow monkeys’. These characterful macaques live in the hills around the natural hot springs and their amusing antics in the warm waters can be observed at close quarters.

It is possible to see the snow monkeys year round, though they are particularly photogenic when the area has a dusting of snow (Nov - Mar).

Trailfinders offers a range of Snow Monkeys holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Japan on a self guided holiday, a sociable small group tour, a stopover or a cruise holiday, they are the perfect people to ask.
