We would like to express appreciation for visiting blog of Asama hot spring “Nisikinoyu Jimotoya”.
I visited “Jigokudani yaenkouen(wild snow monkey park: paradise of the monkeys)” where many sightseeing people visit in Nagano prefecture especially in winter.
Jigokudani yaenkouen is located in Yamanouchi town. Large parking lots which had been usable in summer is closed in winter, we can use free parking lots in Kanbayashi onsen(hot spring).


Monkeys leisurely had bathed hot spring and made happy look. In severe winter season,
I heard that monkey bathed hot spring since 9 to 16 o’clock. Would you like to visit to see cute monkeys who bathe hot spring?

Bus to snow monkey park from Yudanaka onsen station is available. Nagaden bus time table is followings.
