The Snow Monkey Park has been welcoming visitors since 1964 to share the magical world of the Japanese macaques. Now popularly known as the Snow Monkeys, their habit of bathing in the hot spring attracts people from all over the world. Each winter the macaques endure freezing temperatures in a land of heavy snowfall. Visitors can stand incredibly close to the snow monkeys as they relax and warm up in the hot spring. Their unique way of life also attracts many famous researchers and photographers.
Snow Monkey Park Snow Monkey Park is located in the north of Nagano within the Joshin’etsu National Park. The park is 45 minutes by train from Nagano station to Yudanaka station, and then a 10 minute bus ride to Kanbayashi Onsen, and 30 minute walk through a pretty forest trail. The park opened in 1964 along with a ski resort. This influx of people disturbed the monkeys, pushing them downstream towards farmland in search of new habitat. The local farmers asked for the right to control their numbers as they became pests, eating apples and destroying crops. Within the troop of wild monkeys was one male macaque (the park’s first generation alpha male) who was particularly fascinating. It was this monkey’s behaviour, and the concept of monkeys and humans coexisting, which sparked the idea of opening the wild monkey park. The macaques were given food regularly, and eventually after 5 years, the whole troop appeared in Jigokudani. The habit of bathing in the hot spring came about after a young curious macaque dipped his toe in
the only primates living in such a cold environment, they became known as “Snow Monkeys”. The snow monkeys are endemic to Japan and are the only species of primate inhabiting the country. The macaques usually live as a troop of a few males, 2 or 3 times more females and their babies. The females usually remain within the troop they were born into, but most males will leave the troop before they become adults.
LIFE magazine ran a cover story of the Snow Monkeys in 1970 making them world famous.
the warm water. It must have felt good to this little monkey because he eventually immersed his whole body. Other monkeys soon followed suit, and their fame became widespread throughout Japan. A separate hot spring was built for the water loving monkeys, and in 1970 they were on the front cover of America’s LIFE magazine, which spread their name across the world.
