One of the must-see attractions in Nagano is Hell Valley! The number of monkeys is visually at least 100 🐒 very exaggerated 😆 However, not all can soak in hot springs ♨️ It seems that they are high-status people can soak 😆 It takes about half an hour to walk from the entrance of Hell Valley to the Monkey Hot Spring location. The park will close at 4pm, it is recommended to arrive at the entrance of Hell Valley before 3:30pm!! Personally, I think it's quite worth coming 👍🏻 💰Tickets 800yen #March Good Places 2025 #Japan #Nagano #Hell Valley Wild Monkey Park #Monkey #Japan Good Places

Jigokudani Monkey Park is a rare spot in the world where you can observe wild Japanese macaques soaking in hot springs up close 🐒 Watching the monkeys leisurely enjoy the hot springs amidst the snow-covered winter scenery brought a sense of tranquility ☺️ The park is surrounded by rich nature, allowing you to enjoy interactions with the natural environment. 📍Location: 6845 Hirao, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture, 381-0401 ※ It's about a 2-kilometer walk from the dedicated parking lot of Jigokudani Monkey Park! In winter, the path can be slippery due to ice, so it's safer to wear anti-slip shoes or hiking boots.

Winter, snow, skiing, hot springs, Shinshu... so let's go to Nagano to meet the snow monkeys ♪😄 You can meet snow monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park in Yamanouchi-cho, Shimotakai-gun 🐒 After all, they are wild monkeys, so they live normally in the mountains, but in winter they come down in groups to bathe in the hot springs of Jigokudani, so winter is definitely the best time to see snow monkeys! ⛄️ If you go by car, you will have to park further and further away when the parking lot is full, so it is recommended to go early in the morning, but be careful because you cannot enter even if you go before the park opens ☝️ From the entrance to the promenade, you will walk on snowy and muddy roads, so boots or boots are recommended ♪ It's about 1.6km of uphill... quite a distance 😅 On the way, you can see the natural monument Jigokudani Fountain and other attractions. If you come to this area, you will encounter monkeys as usual😊 And when you enter the ticket office, there are already many monkeys♪ Monkeys bathing in the hot springs, monkeys grooming, monkeys eating something, monkeys running and fighting... monkeys of all ages and genders are spending their time in their own way♪ However, since they are wild monkeys, they may not always be in the hot springs. It is better to check the live camera on the Jigokudani Yaen Koen website and social media to see what is going on♪ And there are some precautions that you must follow, so be sure to check the website⚠️ Why not visit Shibu Onsen, Kanbayashi Onsen, Yudanaka Onsen, and other hot springs at the foot of the mountain while enjoying the hot springs♨️🤗 📍Location: 6845 Heijo, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture 🕰️Opening hours: From around 9:00 to around 16:00 during winter #tripdomestictravel #nagano #naganotourism #naganotrip #shinshu #jigokudaniyaenkoen #snowmonkey

You go around the nine outdoor baths, each with a different source and effect, while stamping your prayer hand towel. Finally, if you visit Shibutaka Yakushi, which overlooks the hot spring town, and receive a seal, your wish will come true ⛩ It is said that it will wash away the nine (painful) toils, ward off evil spirits, grant safe childbirth and childcare, and grant eternal youth and longevity ✨ I couldn't see everything in one day, so I got up early the next morning and went around the rest 😌 [Inn] The inn I stayed at this time was Sakaeya, a wonderful inn where you can enjoy delicious food and a private sauna 🥺 The next day, I took my time sightseeing in Shibu Onsen and returned home. It's a spot I want to go back to again to see the old-fashioned scenery, the metal fittings shop that was the model for Spirited Away, and the gourmet food 🤍 #Winter outing #Hot spring trip #Shibu Onsen #Sauna #Private sauna #Hot spring tour #Winter #Jigokudani Monkey Park #Shibu Onsen #Furitabi

#naturalscape A photo of a monkey bathing in a hot spring in heavy snow has attracted countless tourists to visit the extremely popular attraction "Jigokudani Monkey Park" in Nagano Prefecture. Established in 1964, it is a park with a natural environment without fences or cages, where you can observe wild Japanese macaques up close. Transportation guide: Jigokudani Monkey Park is located deep in the mountains. No matter where you depart from Japan, please arrive at "JR Nagano Station" first. The easiest and most convenient way is to take the Nagaden Express and get off at the East Exit Bus Station No. 4 (bus The stop sign says Nozawa Onsen. Madarao Plateau direction, Shiga Kogen direction) Take the bus "bound for Kuma no Yu. Inkawa" for 45 minutes and get off at "Snow Monkey Park (SNOW MONKEY PARK)/Kamibayashi Onsenguchi". It takes 45 minutes. , follow the signs and walk for about 40 to 60 minutes to get there. It is highly recommended to purchase the "SNOW MONKEY PASS" snow monkey pass, which includes round-trip transportation and admission to the park. There are not many fixed flights, so be sure to check the return timetable before setting off. I arrived in Nagano at the end of February. The weather was nice and warm. I took the Nagaden Express Bus to reach the mouth of Kamibayashi Hot Spring. Then I followed other tourists and walked along the winding trail for about 40 minutes. There were cliffs on one side and steep slopes on the other. There are no railings at all, which is indeed a bit dangerous in the snow season. The walkway is relatively flat and there are steep stairs until you reach the entrance of the park. After passing the ticket gate of the cabin, you officially enter the Wild Monkey Park. Although they are wild macaques, feeding is prohibited! Along the way, there will be some small macaques lying or sitting on free piles of stones for sunbathing. There are more macaques near the hot spring area. The weather is nice today and the snow has melted, so there are no macaques to take a dip in. There will be staff present secretly throwing feed into the hot spring pool to attract the macaques, which can also satisfy the tourists who come all the way to see the macaques. I have to say that in this wild macaque park, I didn’t see cleaning staff, but no matter whether I walked or walked on the cliff, I couldn’t see the macaque excrement, and there was no strong smell. Macaques should be very used to people walking around. They won't attack or snatch things. They just do their own thing. Even Japanese macaques are very polite. Nagano Prefecture is one of the cities with the largest amount of snow in Japan in winter. When you come to Jigokudani Wild Park in winter, you must wear warm clothes or waterproof snowshoes. There are no rest seats in the natural environment, let alone lockers. The lighter the better. Well, everyone is welcome to visit Nagano. #familytravel # Hell Valley Monkey Park # Nagano # Shanglin Hot Spring # Snow Monkey # Japan # 100 Ways to Travel # Natural Landscape

Yo! Today I'm sharing a super special place - Hell Valley Wild Monkey Park, also known as Snow Monkey Mountain in Nagano, Japan! 🐵❄️ You must buy a magnet snow monkey doll when you come, super like the local macaques🙊✨ The hands have magnets, you can shoot them together~ You can stick them into the refrigerator at home🧲🥳 In winter, the monkeys here will take a bath in the hot springs, which is really cute!💖 In fact, this place was selected as the 57 most beautiful national parks in the world by National Geographic in 2018, and was also selected by CNN as one of the 31 most beautiful attractions in Japan. It is really not to be missed!🌍✨ The snow monkeys here are the only macaque monkeys in the world who know how to bathe in hot springs. The round red-faced monkeys are super funny🙈! Generally speaking, monkeys do not like to touch water, but the monkeys here began to imitate humans and learned the habit of bathing in hot springs. It's so interesting!😄 Hell Valley is covered with snow for about a third of the year, and it is also one of the macaque monkeys living in the northernmost part of the world. With the development of ski resorts by humans, the monkeys moved to the low valley here and learned how to enjoy the hot springs!♨️ When you come to Snow Monkey Mountain, you can see the monkeys relaxing in the natural hot springs, which is definitely a good opportunity for photography and animal observation!📸 There is feeding every day to keep them in the park, super cute!🙉 Moreover, the journey to Snow Monkey Mountain is very suitable for tourists of all ages, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful, especially suitable for family outings!🌳👨👩👧👦 Here is my travel guide: 🚄 First take the Shinkansen from Ueno to Nagano, one way is about $400 (if you become a member online early and buy tickets with IC card, you can also enjoy 7-8% off!) Then 🚍 take a bus from Nagano to Snow Monkey Hell Valley, about $100 one way. It is recommended that you arrive at about 2-3pm, so you will see more monkeys🐵! If after 3-4pm, the monkeys will return to the mountains and the park will be closed! Moreover, when the weather is cold, the monkeys will love to soak in hot springs more!🥶♨️ #HellValley #SnowMonkey Mountain #Japan Travel #Nagano #Hot Spring Monkey #Nature Observation #Family Travel #Photography Opportunities #Cute Animals #Travel Guide #Japan Attractions #travel souvenir recommendation #Romantic Traveler Festival #Hell Valley Wild Monkey Park #Nagano Japan. #Snow Monkey #Japan Good Places #UCreator #Travel Photo #Travel Itinerary

I went to see monkeys bathing in hot springs in the snowy scenery 🐒 More than anything, the monkeys here are really friendly, fluffy and especially cute...I was fascinated by their adorable appearance bathing in the hot springs so comfortably!! Be careful, especially in winter, as the ground is very icy underfoot 😱 There are some very muddy areas and slippery slopes and steep slopes that continue for about 30 minutes, so please wear snow shoes ⛷️ It's harder than expected, so I recommend visiting in the season when the ground is not icy underfoot for small children, elderly people, and those who are not confident in their physical strength. *Some people with small children turned back halfway through. Also, I felt that 80% of the customers were foreign tourists, and most of the signs were in English, so even if you are not confident in Japanese, you can rest assured. [Jigokudani Monkey Park] 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 *Changes may occur in winter 💰Price per person: 800 yen for adults, 400 yen for children 📍Location: Get off at "Snow Monkey Park", about 35 minutes walk #Domestic travel #Jigokudani Monkey Park #snowmonkeypark #Nagano sightseeing #Nagano trip #Nagano #Snow monkey #0 yen trip February 2025 #My travel plan #Monkey hot spring

Jigokudani Monkey Park 🐒 It is a natural attraction mainly for watching wild Japanese macaques. The macaques here are especially famous because they soak in the hot springs to keep warm in the winter. It's really cute to see a lot of monkeys running around ❤️ The only thing that was a bit tiring was that it took about 30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the destination, and the mountain road was a bit slippery in winter, so everyone had to be careful with their steps! After returning, you can also eat ramen, pizza and apple pie from "Saruza"! Freshly baked apple pie is really delicious! Highly recommended! Address: 6845 Ozihirahara, Yamanouchi-cho, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture Opening hours: Summer (April to October) 8:30~17:00 Winter (November to March) 9:00~16:00 Ticket price: Adults 800 yen, students from high school to high school 400 yen #CentralJapan #Hell Valley Monkey Park #monkey #Parenting
