Snow Monkey Park Jigokudani Yaen Koen, also known as the Snow Monkey Park, has been a safe haven to a troop of wild Japanese macaques since 1964. At the Park, you get the rare opportunity to observe the wild monkeys in their natural habitat and from close distance.
Hot Spring Monkeys
Prepare Yourself for a 30 min Walk in Winter
The Jigokudani Snow Monkeys are the only monkeys in the world that bathe in a hot spring to survive winter. The habit of bathing came after a young macaque chased an apple accidentally thrown into the hot spring bath of Japanese inn Korakukan. He liked it so much that he started getting into the onsen regularly and slowly but surely the other monkeys followed. Jigokudani Valley
Rules of the Snow Monkey Park
＊The Park may close due to unforeseeable circumstances such as excessive snowfall.
NO
NO
OK NO
Most Northern Primate The Japanese macaque is the most northern primate and is spread throughout the forests of North Japan. In winter everything is covered in deep snow, with temperatures dropping below zero. These monkeys became known as “snow monkeys” due to their natural environment being so snowy.
BUS Timetable
1. Please keep an appropriate distance from the monkeys and do not touch or startle the monkeys. 2. Do not show or give them any food. 3. Do not bring dogs, cats, or any other pets inside. 4. Photography is allowed but do not get your camera or mobile phone too close to the monkeys (selfiesicks are not allowed inside the park).

Tour of the public baths
The 13 soto-yu locations scattered throughout the village are 100% natural hot springs with continuous flows of hot water. They are not only available for the villagers, but also guest use. One soto-yu in particular, Oyu, located in the center of the hot springs area, conveys the style of the Edo period in its architecture and has become the symbol of Nozawa Onsen. Each visitor to the soto-yu can decide for themselves how much they want to pay as an entrance fee to the bathhouse by placing their offering in the collection box outside.
There are thirteen public baths within the village, all flowing with 100% natural hot spring water. The type of hot spring and the effect it has on the body differs depending on the bath, so it is fun to try them all and find your favourite.The “Oyu” bath is at the centre of the village and is the icon of Nozawa Onsen. It is a beautiful building in the architectural style of an Edo period bathhouse.
Pickled nozawana is one of Nagano prefecture's local dishes. Nozawa Onsen has some of the best nozawana vegetables in the region. Pickled nozawana has plant-derived lactic acid, which is said to be good for digestive health.
