Snow monkey enjoying hot spring in Nagano Japan

If all that holiday stress has you craving a spa day, you’ll probably relate to the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata). Also known as the snow monkey, this species might be spotted on Japan’s Honshu, Shikoku, or Kyushu islands. Populations that inhabit northern regions have thick fur coats to protect them from cold weather.

But when this monkey needs a little extra warmth, it can be found soaking in natural hot springs. While bathing, this primate passes the time by socializing with members of its troop. Activities include grooming and playing. In fact, young macaques love to play, and have even been observed making snowballs for fun!

First time seeing a Japanese macaque. I was hiking in Kamikochi when a group of wild macaques took over the road. What beautiful animals!

上高地で初めてニホンザルに出会いました。ハイキングしていたら、藪の中から野生のお猿の群れが出てきて、道を占拠してしまいました。なんて素敵な生き物なんでしょうね。

Snow monkey at Jigokudani, Nagano Prefecture. My favourite part was the sign that said “the monkeys will never be your friend”. Noted.

On my second day in Nagano / Yudanaka, it was still raining fiercely, but I decided I still want to visit the snowmonkeys!

They are quite adorable! As you can see in the pictures, this particular hot pool was constructed so that humans can observe them more closely, but they bathe in them naturally and voluntarily!

I heard that they get baited to come there in summer (when they wouldn't go there often), but they are not forced to and can roam the area freely. It seems that they are not afraid of the human spectators at all.

The largest monkey is overlooking the pool. If I recall correctly, the head of the tribe is always female, but I can't tell the difference :)

A snowmonkey is shaking the water out of its fur!

Baby snowmonkey is approaching over wet stones. It's the cutest thing ever!

Wide angle shot of the pool with the snow-covered mountain slope in the background.
