Jigokudani Monkey Park

Jigokudani Monkey park is located in Nagano Prefecture, about 40 minutes by bus from Nagano station. The park is famous for, as should be obvious from the pictures, the monkeys bathing in the natural hot spring there. Though it is called a ‘park’, it is really more a level platform on a mountain with a small hot spring on it. It’s quite an isolated location, but certainly worth the visit.
