Hi, Shino!
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our trip to Japan so unforgettable.
The snow monkeys in Nagano were absolutely amazing—it honestly felt like stepping into a winter fairytale. But what made the experience truly special was you.
Your kindness, your stories, your calm presence—we felt completely looked after every step of the way. The way everything was arranged so smoothly, from the transportation to the beautiful ryokan stays, made the whole journey stress-free and joyful.
We also appreciated meeting Kuni, who clearly leads with heart and passion. You and your team went above and beyond. We’ll never forget this trip—thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Meeting the snow monkeys in Nagano was magical—seeing them relax in the hot springs with snow falling around was something I’ll never forget. What truly made the trip special was our guide, Yuki, who was incredibly attentive, funny, and full of cultural knowledge. Every transfer, hotel, and meal was flawlessly arranged. It felt like a luxury experience from start to finish. Thank you, Yuki and team!
