Snow Monkey Park (Jigokudani Yaen Koen) - Ahhh, the highlight! Witness the Japanese Red-faced snow monkeys in their (semi) natural environment. Jigokudani translates to hell valley, as plants struggle to grow with so much sulfur and heat in the water. The unique scenery created by volcanic activity is quite enjoyable.

Zenko-ji Temple - A more traditional temple compared to some you may see in Tokyo. This temple offers a more spiritual experience as it isn’t swarmed by tourists :)

Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort / Alpine Garden - Welcome to one of the world’s best powder snow destinations! Hakuba is renowned in the off-piste community and is just a 2-hour drive from the snow monkeys! If you wish to ski in Hakuba, I highly recommend extending your trip to 2 days to fully enjoy everything. Just let me know if you want to extend your trip when booking!

Shiga Kogen - A winter-exclusive attraction, this ski resort is right next to the snow monkeys and offers excellent snow :)

Matsumoto Castle - One of Japan’s most cherished castles, and one we can explore inside! Its five-tiered, six-story main tower, built in the late 16th century, is the oldest surviving castle tower in the country.

Hi, I’m Kye. A slightly sarcastic Japan-born half-Australian semi-pro photographer who’s quick with a joke. Traveling through Japan can be awesome, it can also be very confusing and difficult. Japan Xperiences is here to make your trip smoother, more comfortable, and zero stress:) Not to mention, more memorable!

The three destinations that this trip covers are the places we think everyone visiting Japan should see at least once! Mt Fuji needs no introduction, so let me tell you more about the other two:

Takayama is a rural town north of Nagoya and is often called miniature Kyoto. There is a ton of history to immerse yourself in:) The best part? It’s not overcrowded yet! Takayama is my hometown so you’ll be sure to get a lot of authentic local experiences;)

The standard car we use is a 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. A Japanese luxury van is available as an option as well in case you want the extra space!
