Jigokudani Monkey Park is a famous hot spring area near Nagano.
It located in 6845 Hirao, Yamanouchi, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture 381-0400, Japan.
The name Jigokudani (meaning "Hell's Valley"), is due to steam and boiling water bubbles that out the frozen ground, surrounded by steep cliffs and formidably cold forests. It is famous for its large population of wild Snow Monkeys that go to the valley during the winter when snow covers the park. The monkeys descend from the steep cliffs and forest to sit in the warm hot springs, and return to the security of the forests in the evenings.
The Jigokudani Monkey Park offers visitors the unique experience of seeing wild monkeys bathing in a natural hot spring. The park is inhabited by Japanese Macaques, which are also known as Snow Monkeys. It is located in the monkey's natural habitat in the forests of the Jigokudani valley in Yamanouchi, not far from the onsen towns of Shibuand Yudanaka.
