Japanese macaques at Jigokudani hotspring in Nagano have become notable for their winter visits to the spa.
Witnessing these snow monkeys enjoying a soak in the natural hot springs was a unique travel experience that I definitely wanted to share with you all. Japan is unique in experience and this experience you would not find anywhere else in the world.

They are so calm, like they don't care how many people are around them taking pictures. Such precious memories.

@Fiveonesix Год назад

They actually do care and can get violent - no one is suppose to get within 3 ft of them

@FoodandFootprints 5 лет назад

Those snow monkeys are incredible animals. Loved watching them in the hot spring and strolling around

@bearsandbutters 5 лет назад

Hey Nick and Helmi!! It looks so amazing watching the snow fall in a place that we have never been! Nagano Japan looks absolutely breathtaking. Love the spikes you had at the bottom of your shoes to help you walk in the snow. That is so cool that you can get the past to see the monkeys from the local train station! It looked almost like a magical wonderland… With the snow, and the monkeys all around. We probably would've been worried about our cell phones being taken… But we probably wouldn't have cared because the monkeys were just so damn cute! What a wonderful experience and you have captured some very beautiful moments in time. Thanks for sharing and taking us with you!

@PatrickHayes376 5 лет назад

Absolutely loved this video! 👍I can't believe how close you could get to the Snow Monkey!?! Great video and editing!!

@nickandhelmi 5 лет назад

yess they were running around wildly in the park so we can get so close - but don't touch them though. thanks so much patrick🙌😄

@abdullahlanggeng2128 3 года назад

This is one of the reasons why human must not get too close to wild animals, endangered or not. Other people will think that it's okay since somebody else gets too close. "If they can, why can't I?". Definitely don't get too close to the animals if you are in any wildlife parks. The animals, although provisioned, are still wild. They could attack you any moments if your presence is considered as a threat. Apart from that, the possibility of disease transmission may also occurs.

@mariaandbryan 5 лет назад

Two Hungry Diners those are great questions.. we wanna know too

@helmi6070 5 лет назад

They do open all season but I wouldn't really recommend coz it can get smelly (from its poop💩 lol) and can't beat the snow view. They're just chilling, playing, and sometimes fight with each other over food 😅 after all, they're wild animals😊

The monkey forest we visited in Bali was different with the monkeys behaviour Great episode Nick & Helmi 👍👍👍

@RudyVisuals 5 лет назад

Ahh wow what a beautiful place! It really looks like a place from a Ghibli film or anime especially with the gorgeous snow. Those monkeys seem pretty chill. How were the tourists like around them? In a recent trip to Malaysia we were a little sad to see the tourists aggravating the monkeys and constantly trying to pet them like they were dogs or something.

@nickandhelmi 5 лет назад

yeah absolutely amazing place during winter, so surreal.😍 we've seen several tourist try to pet them but there were like couple of park guards around to make sure nobody is too close to the monkeys.

Excellent video thanks so much for putting it together! Can't wait to visit here in a few weeks time. I see this video was published on April 1st..... would you be so kind as to tell me what dates it was filmed just so I can get an idea of what to expect with regards to snow etc. Thanks in advance. Dan

@nickandhelmi 4 года назад

Hi Dan, glad you enjoy the video. We visited Jigokudani park on 31 Dec 2018 and back then there was so much snow. I heard same date last december 2019 there was no snow because of warm winter. But you can always check the live stream camera on Jigokudani park, just google it and you will see live condition on how much snow at the moment 😊

@ragabara1031 5 лет назад

Your coverage of the station entrances and footpaths in the park was just what I needed! I'm going to Nagano (staying at a Yudanaka ryokan) in mid-September this year, but don't know how much time should be budgeted for the Jigokudani Monkey Park. Do you remember how long you stayed there for?

@nickandhelmi 5 лет назад

ragabara hey im so glad you found that useful - made this because i had a hard time finding how to get there too. We arrive the night before and enjoy a nice onsen at the ryokan we stayed at and the next morning woke up early to head to the snow monkey park - its about a 30 minute hike - but id say an hour or so is more than enough, if you go say early morning by noon you should be done :). Hope that helps Nick 😀🙌

hi Nick and Helmi, if I already have JR Pass , do i still need to buy the snow monkey park (3500yen) . does JR pass cover the transportation to monkey park ? than i just pay the entrance fees (800yen) . TQ , and i love your video ^^

@nickandhelmi 4 года назад

Hi Douglas - yes you do need to buy the snow monkey park still - the JR pass covers you to just nagano station. Hope that helps - i thought i reply this already, sorry if i havent! >_< - hope you can travel there once this is all over

@jay1970 5 лет назад

This was one confusing video. Couldn’t really understand how long it will really take it to get to park from nagano

@nickandhelmi 5 лет назад

I dont think its confusing at all. This video was pretty linear - it was also mentioned in the voiceover how long the train ride is - 50minute , when you get to yudanaka - its like 15 min by bus to the park, plus 30 minutes hike to the top. This video shows you how to get there not so much the time as it depends on what you do.

@kuyabebang1266 4 года назад

hi how about the language communication there do they speak english?

@nickandhelmi 4 года назад

Hi, they do speak english and all directions/train stations/bus/tourist areas have the English translation so we had no problem at all 🙂 Japanese people are so nice so even some can't speak good English, they will help you the best they can 👍🏻

The video is excellent and detailed. OMG Helmi is sooo cute. Being so close to those snow monkeys. LOVED seeing the baby snow monkey biting on that piece of ice. The views were incredible and it looked like you both really had a great time. Would you stop by and watch our latest video, as we'd love to hear your thoughts as well.
