I think about 70% of foreign tourists Jigokudani Monkey Park is such a popular spot. It is a good photo spot no matter how many times you go, so it is a highly recommended place. Especially when a baby monkey comes close, I just want to take a picture.

I went to Jigokudani Monkey Park in winter. It was difficult because it was a little far from the parking lot, but the monkeys soaking in the hot spring were very cute.
