  • Snow Monkey Park (jigokudani Yaen Koen)
    Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park offers a rare opportunity to observe wild Japanese macaques up close in their natural habitat. To reach the viewing area, visitors enjoy a scenic 30–40-minute walk through the peaceful forest. As the monkeys are wild, their behavior changes naturally with the seasons: - Winter (Dec–Mar): The Iconic Snowy Baths During freezing temperatures, the troop gathers around the steaming hot springs to stay warm, creating the world-famous "snow monkey" scene. - Spring (Apr–May): Fresh Greenery & Newborns Bathing becomes less frequent as weather warms, but adorable newborn babies appear from late April through May. - Summer (Jun–Aug): Active Troop Life Young monkeys splash into the water to play and hunt for treats, while adults groom in the lush shade. - Autumn (Sep–Nov): Harvest & Mating Season Monkeys forage deep in the mountains, so park appearances can be unpredictable and bathing is rare.
