Yudanaka Wild Monkey Park (Jigokudani yaenkoen)

On our final day, we visited the Yudanaka Monkey Park where wild snow monkeys roam around the forest and hot springs. To get there, we took a train and a bus and then a 30 minute hike to the park. It was well worth the trip!

Hiking there & the park entrance.


A geyser near the park entrance.


Monkeys!





You can see the 'live monkey cam' in the upper right of this picture (check out the link for the website above).



Back in Nagano, we thought this sign with pigs in apples costumes was amusing.


Here's our ride home.
