See Japan’s famous snow monkeys up close at Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture. 🐒♨️ Jigokudani, meaning ‘Hell Valley’, is named for its dramatic cliffs and steaming hot springs. The monkeys wander from their homes in the surrounding mountains for food and to warm up in the natural onsen. TIP: Wear appropriate footwear – the path can be slippery in winter. 📷 @‌matsu_nagano on Instagram #VisitJapanAU #VisitJP_gofurther #SnowMonkeys #Nagano #ShigaKogen #Monkey #HotSpring #Onsen #Jap
