Monkeys at Wild Snow Monkey Park, Nagano Prefecture, Japan
Monkeys are enjoying bathing in a hot spring at Jigokudani Yaen-Koen (Wild Snow Monkey Park), Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
The park is located near Shiga Kogen Plateau, Asis biggest ski resort, as well as Yudanaka-Shibu Onsen area, one of the highest quality spas in Japan.
The group of monkeys, which come down to Jigokudani (literally means Hell Valleya) Wild Monkey Park, is said to consist of about 160 monkeys. I understand that monkeys generally prefer sunbathing to bathing in the hot spring and therefore, on a fine shining day, they tend to stay high up in their mountain instead of coming down to the valley. On a cold cloudy or snowy day, more of them tend to come down to the valley, including bathing in the hot spring
