The Monkey Onsen
Jigokudani "The snow monkey onsen"
World famous since the movie "Baraka" brought it to the attention of people worldwide, the monkey onsen is a popular trip from Hakuba. A troupe of the most northerly monkeys in the world hangs out in a natural hot spring for most of the year. There are about 200 monkeys at the spring and you can walk around surrounded by monkeys going about the daily routine that monkeys do! Bickering, playing, posturing, running around in the snow or just chilling out in the onsen. Great trip!
