Jigokudani Monkey's Onsen
It's getting colder and colder in Tokyo. When it's cold, I like to soak in an Onsen. Japanese people like going on a Onsen trip in various places in Japan. But you know, not only people love onsen, monkeys love onsen too!
The place where the monkey's onsen is in Jigokudani, located in Northern part of Nagano-Prefecture.
People called Jigokudani (Hell's Valley) because they could see the spectacle that looks like the hell that steep cliff, spring out boiling water from the surface of the earth.

By Train
From JR Tokyo Station, take the JR Shinkansen to Nagano.
From JR Nagano Station, take the Nagano Dentetsu train to Yudanaka. From Yudanaka, take a bus or taxi to Kanbayashi Onsen. From there, it's about a 30 min walk to the Jigokudani Yaen-koen entrance.
If you have some time, why not take a trip to Jigokudani and see the monkeys, also enjoy the onsen!
