February is cold in Japan. About three hours by car from Tokyo, you can see monkeys bathing in hot springs in Jigokudani in Nagano Prefecture. It is very rare!
We visited there in February 2023.
Nagano Prefecture is a snowy area
Jigokudani requires a 40-minute walk to the hot spring with monkeys
On this day, the road was slippery after the rain. A lot of people were falling
The road is narrow and it is difficult for people to pass each other. If you fall off a cliff, you will be seriously injured

It’s hard to get there, but when you arrive, there are many cute monkeys. The sore feet were also healed.

You can observe monkeys so close. I learned later that it is dangerous to make eye contact with monkeys. Did you know that?

It’s hard to get this far, but it’s well worth it. Please visit
