Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park

An interesting, unusual attraction attracts the attention of tourists. Macaques live in the park, about 150 different species. It was opened in 1964. Snow lies on the territory of the park area, and monkeys bask in the thermal springs, putting their paws on the shore. They are grouped there by whole “families”, and each animal has its own worries. Macaques feed on plants and while the “older” ones are resting, the “younger” hunt, getting food for the family. This is a real monkey spa resort! People come to see primates and take fascinating pictures.
