drop at the monkey snow park from nagano station

I doubt the bus will drop you at the Monkey Park.

The bus will stop at Kanbayashi Onsen Guchi bus stop, and from there, you need to walk about 25 minutes to the Monkey park itself.

Keep in mind that the bus stop has been renamed "Snow Monkey Park"and is indeed about a 20 minute walk from the park entrance.

Average people will require more like 30 minutes from the "Snow Monkey Park" bus stop to the entrance of the park.

bus reservation is not possible as far as I know (I've never reserved it). I was advised of a new timetable https://www.facebook.com/KameseiRyokanEn/photos/a.498248043520782.1215... by my local ryokan owner.

60 is not old, unless they have some health issue.
The walk is pleasant, about 30 minutes, or more if you take your time.

In winter, take your time. I visited the park yesterday and the path was pretty slippery in places as it had snowed overnight and it was below 0C much of the time.

A new feature I saw this trip was the sale of slip-on crampons (shoe spikes) for Y1500 from the shop at the beginning of the main path (where the road runs out). This might be useful - I saw a few people with them, but most people did not bother. There were some people slipping over.

From the bus stop to the park is around 2km, and 1.6km through the forest. The oldest person I have taken there was 70-ish but he managed. Fit people can do the walk fairly quickly - 20 minutes is doable.
