Overview

Hi, I'm Kye. A Japan-born half-Australian semi-pro photographer who's quick with a joke. Traveling through Japan can be awesome, but it can also be challenging. My boys and I are here to make your trip smoother, and more comfortable. Not to mention, memorable!

Leave all your problems and anxiety about traveling around Japan with public transport at your hotel. With us, you'll have a Native English and Japanese-speaking driver catering to all of your group's needs.

With this day trip to Nagano, you can choose what you want to see or discuss what works best for your needs with me. I've put a few places in the sample itinerary to give you a few ideas;)

  • Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park
    Ahhh, the main event! See the Japanese Red-faced snow monkeys in their (semi) natural habitat. Jigokudani literally translates to hell valley, turns out plants have a hard time growing with so much sulfur and heat in the water. I personally quite enjoy the unique scenery caused by the volcanic activity. It's a 30 minute walk through an extremely beautiful forest to get to the monkeys. *Please note that the snow monkeys are wild animals and move on their own schedule, this tour does not guarantee that we will see them.
  • Nagano Chausuyama Zoo
    Since we're in Nagano for the snow monkeys anyway, why not stop here to see some cute red pandas? Look I'm not trying to turn this into a safari, I'm just saying might as well haha
  • Zenko-ji Temple
    A more traditional temple compared to some you may see in Tokyo. This temple is great as it gives you a more spiritual feel as there aren't 10,000 tourists there :)
  • Zenko-ji Temple Nakamisedori
    An elegant traditional path that leads to Zenkoji
  • Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort / Alpine Garden
    Welcome to one of the best powder snow destinations in the WORLD!!! Hakuba is extremely well known in the off-piste community and is only a 2-hour drive from the snow monkeys! If you would like to ski in Hakuba I highly recommend making our trip a 2-day trip so you can fully experience everything. Just let me know if you want to extend your trip when you book!
  • Shiga Kogen Resort Gondola
    This is purely a winter attraction, a ski resort! The Shiga Kogen area is right next to the snow monkeys and offers great snow:)
  • Nagano is one of the most famous prefectures for Soba, learn how to make traditional Japanese Soba from scratch:)
  • Experience traditional Japanese sword-making with one of the best Katana makers in Jaan!
  • Endo Sake Brewery
    One of more than 10 Sake breweries in the area where you can do tastings.
  • Matsumoto Castle
    One of Japan's most treasured castles, it's also one we can go inside! Its five-tiered, six-story main tower, built in late 16th century, is the oldest surviving castle tower in the nation.
