It was another unusually crowded day. We stayed in line in the snow for over 30 minutes to get to the ticket booth. I knew there would be people by the hot spring, but didn’t realize there would be SO MANY people!!
By the time I finally found my spot, took out my camera, I was hit by the shocking reality - my camera stopped working. Can you imagine the panic going through my head at that moment???
I had to switch to a different camera, which produced less ideal photos…

Jigokudani Yaen-Koen (地獄谷野猿公苑), also known as the Jigokudani Monkey Park, is a famous attraction located in Yamanouchi, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
It’s home to the Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata), commonly known as snow monkeys. The monkeys are famous for soaking in the natural hot springs, especially during winter. The sight of snow monkeys in the warm onsen while surrounded by snow is a unique and globally recognized attraction.
