Day Trip from Tokyo to See the Snow Monkeys 🐒

#tokyostroll Witness Japan’s famous snow monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, where wild Japanese macaques soak in steaming hot springs amid a snowy landscape. Getting There: 🚄 By Train: Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano Station (~1.5 hours). Then, board the Nagaden Express Bus to the Snow Monkey Park stop (~40 min), followed by a scenic 30-minute forest walk to the park. What to Expect: 🐒 Wild Monkeys Up Close – Watch the monkeys relax in natural hot springs, completely unfazed by human visitors. ❄️ Best Time to Visit – Winter (Dec–March) offers the most stunning snowy scenery, but the park is open year-round. 🌲 Beautiful Nature Walk – The trail to the park is a serene stroll through a peaceful forest. Top Tips: ✔️ Arrive early to beat the crowds. ✔️ Wear good shoes as the path can be snowy and muddy. ✔️ Stop by Yudanaka Onsen after your visit for a relaxing soak. A magical winter escape just a few hours from Tokyo!
