Working at a Japanese Snow Monkey Park ★ ONLY in JAPAN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- The Japanese snow monkey or the Japanese macaque is a symbol of Japanese folklore and making a visit to go and see them is a must on any trip to Japan. Takasaki-yama (Mt Takasaki) is home to a special monkey reserve and I got to work here for a day!
My job? Help bring the monkeys down from the mountain, feed them, keep the area clean and make sure humans don't get out of line.
The park was established in 1952 after WWII when the monkeys were going down from the mountain to the farm fields to eat the crops. There wasn't enough food for humans at the time so the city set up this park to attract them to the other side.
Oita City is famous for so many things besides this park!
It will be one of the venues for the Rugby World Cup.
There's also it's chicken dish called toriten, wagyu, fresh fish like Seki Saba and Seki Aji, onsen and nature -- and of course, Takasakiyama!

▶︎ How do you get to Oita?
There are cheap flights from Tokyo and Osaka for as little as 5000 yen ($45) It takes only 65 minutes and usually flies right over Mt. Fuji!

The story of the great B vs C clan battle is epic.
Really getting behind-the-scenes on this one John! It was so interesting to hear about the monkey battle tactics. Gotta show this to the kids when they return home!

ONLY in JAPAN No need for time stamps I’ll just watch the whole vid
Great facts about this place!
Love your videos, very original and the only one on youtube with this kind of quality. I wish that more people would watch
The power of the sweet potatoe
Are you realy work here?
高崎山、初めて知りました（なにせいまだに九州行ったことない…）。「畑を守るため」がサルの保護になり、そして観光にもつながってウィンウィンなんですね。とてもおもしろいです。さつまいもレースの必死さがすごいw（取れなかったサルもいたような…）。そしてB群C群の争いの話に手に汗握りました！！ジョンさんならではの視点の動画、すばらしいです。日本語字幕もありがとうございます！
ritchan_edokko 最近お猿さんが山に登ったきり下りてこず九州では結構なニュースになってました笑
ぜひ九州にきてくださいね～😊
@@momo-zs6mj あらまあ、お猿さん下りてこないんですか！東京ではミミズクは連日ニュースになってますけど（笑）お猿さんのことはニュースでやりませんねぇ。九州いつか近いうち行きたいです～
They all lived in harmony, but everything changed when the B nation attacked.
i like the harmony in this vid
how human find the best way handling nature
instead of killing
they create a sanctuary for the monkey
high respect to the staff (previous & current)
That troop b vs troop c story, fwlt like one of those yakuza gang war fights.
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
ジョンさんの温かい💓と、知性に✨🍻🎶
編集も益々磨きがかかってますね。
素朴で朴訥な登場人物が毎回嬉しいです。
ガーディアンや、BBCのより、今回のは特に優れてますよ。
何回見返しても👊
人生に潤いを与えてくれる素敵な動画、大切にします。
ありがとう🙋
温厚という言葉があるように、人柄は「温かい」というのが正しいです

This is such an amazing video! My favorite was the shot from the sweet potato cart. Awesome like always, John!
Yay the monkeys are back! It was good first time around now its great! Very informative about the zoos origins and the staff are wonderful. Love the cohabitation between humans and monkeys is stable in the area and of course that they have named some of them. Thanks John!
Really great episode! I love seeing things like this. Japan is really special when it comes to animals and respect.
I've been to Takasakiyama before and it's so natural and peaceful, unlike the hype and more upbeat tone of Tokyo. Much preferred if you want to give yourself to nature.
ジョンさん、この動画の内容はものすごく興味深かったです。サルの派閥、喧嘩の仕方、人間とよく似ていますね。素敵な話を聞かせてくれてありがとう。
I love her in-depth detail of the Monkey War! It sounded like it could even be a movie.
The fighting story shared by Sugamoto san is very very interesting!
It was long but I simply could not edit her! The story was perfect as it was told :) so I'm so thrilled people are happy with it. Her passion for the monkeys showed through all day to me. A real leader and wonderful person.
猿同士の抗争話はとても興味深く
さつまいも争奪戦のリヤカーカメラビデオは
迫力満点で超感動しました。
高崎山が猿で有名なのは知ってたけど
こんな取り組みで畑や猿を保護し観光地にしていることは知らなかった。
一時観光客が自由に与える餌が猿を狂暴にさせ人々を襲うようになり
大問題になった大阪の箕面も地道な努力で被害件数は激減したけど
絶対に餌を与えないというルールを観光客には是非守ってほしいし
ジョンさんも日本に来る海外観光客に発信してほしいです。
A couple of comments / thoughts.... You are an amazing person and thanks once again for taking us to a place not often seen in America. I was watching YT Channel 'Life Where I'm From' and saw your contribution to the story about renting apartments. After hearing your perspective, it became very clear why you are successful.
In the videos on your channels, the conversations consistently project your desire to communicate respectfully with a clear appreciation for the subject your are covering. Your engagement style projects 'trust me, I want to learn, and I appreciate you'. As a result, that generosity and graciousness is reflected back to you. It is often said ' It's not only what you say to others, but how you say it'.
Thanks for sharing....
What precious creatures, beautiful work as always John. Japan has so many beautiful places and species. I love how dedicated the workers are.
They are going bananas for sweet potatoes
They were so fast with getting the potatoes. That speed.
Hilarious yet informative and educational! Love your personality. The heavy metal montage was the best. Thank you for showing us parts of Japan we would never see otherwise. Keep up the great work, so glad to be subscribed.
Such a cool episode - the sweet potato cart was epic, and her description of the monkey battles was insane
Congrats john for reaching 1 million subscribers !
Now going to watch video !
siddharth singh thank you Siddharth!
I've been to the park a couple of times. Really cool to see and hear the behind the scene stories. Great video.
Definitely one of the better channels on TH-cam. I’m home from work with the flu binge watching this channels videos.
Seriously your videos are the best! Wish you would post more frequently 😁
このような動画、初めて見ました。
紹介していただき、有難うございます。日本を再発見させてくれます。☺️。
I always love how you use Google Maps to let the viewer know the location of where you're filming compared to the rest of the country. As always your content is top notch, I never expected this type of video nor did I know how they called down the monkeys. Thanks for such an awesome and informative video/story John!
(Ps. Your Mochi video was featured in buzzfeed's eating your feed "making mochi" video!!!)
The potato cart first-person camera was amazing! A unique perspective of a unique event. Well done!!!
I really enjoy to hear what Ms.Sugamoto san's story. The Serious Battle between Group B & C ‼️‼️
I'm so glad I didn't cut out any of it! Thanks for the feedback on this. I loved it too.

ありがとうジョンさん❣️
When hearing that story about the battle between troop B and troop C I was imagining two bōsozōku gangs lol it was that intense.
Fantastic video experience, John. Thank you for sharing this with us 😉
you are such an awesome human john! been following you for a while and your put so much effort into your content love it.!!! ill be spending my birthday in may in japan cant wait :)
I love how Japanese people tell the story😂😂😂They R full of life, U know
Well done John , awesome episode again as always, we love you and we support you, keep up the good work and spirit.
I said it the first time and i will say it again. Ogasawara may have been your most beautiful video so far but I think this one was by far the best over all! absolutely amazing I loved it start to finish! thanks for the fantastic share (again)! Stay Awesome my friend!
Wow!!!
That was a beautiful show. Seeing the mountain where very few humans have gone was such an experience all thanks to you John.
Thank you
Did Van Halen start playing when the monkeys attacked the sweet potato cart??? LMFAOOOOOO 😂😂😂
These recent only in japan videos are getting really good.
That potato chase is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life
Your guide has some powerful lungs. I’d love to sit on the mountain side and just watch these cuties.
後半の内容は、映画になりそうな感じですね😉👍☀️✨❤️お猿さんは可愛くて絆も強いですね🤗☀️✨
That potato cart thing is awesome ! Really enjoyed the video, John !
Thank you so much for sharing. I was kind of wondering how all that worked. I just discovered about 3 weeks ago this whole monkey business so to speak with the snow monkeys and the resort and it was so beautiful and so serene including The Good the Bad and the Ugly and we know what that entails. But you went a little deeper on how other things work. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks John, another informative vlog especially for Aussies visiting Oita for #RWC2019 match(es, when we make the quarterfinals). The USA has a match down the road in Fukuoka against France on Oct. 2nd. I'll let people know you have some good vlogs on Japan for those visiting Japan for #RWC2019 and #Tokyo2020. Cheers
Very interesting report!! Thanks a lot for it!! Sugamoto-san totally rocks!!! So fascinating observations and stories!!
Congratulations on 1million subscribers!!! Been here since day 1, loved to watch you grow!
This is a wonderful video! We visited the snow monkeys in Nagano a few years ago, one of them walked between my legs, I didn't know that brought luck, but we did get upgraded to first class coming home which was very lucky. I held hands with a Macaque in Kuching, he reached out to hold my hand so I held out a finger and he held onto it for a minute or so, it was a magical moment.
Your content makes me love japan more and more 💖
One of your best and most enjoyable episodes yet John. Keep it up mate.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I love all your adventures in Japan.... so cool.
Thank you for such a fun and interesting video. It was heartwarming to see humans and monkeys living in harmony. We will add Oita to our itinerary when we visit Japan.
i really love he describe the monkeys. i love to visit japan a lot. just been here for 2 times,the experiences really capture my attention wherever i went.
I just adore you and your channel. Every single video is informative and a wonderful learning experience. You do everything in such a friendly manner, and always with a smile on your face. I am a fairly new fan and have been watching your posts nightly. Thank you for teaching me about Japan in all it's beautiful glory. It's on my bucket list to visit, I hope I can make it some day.
Now he left this channel he created his own channel
@@hamwarshwany I know and I am following. Thank you.
Dear John (Sorry, I had to do that), I wanna say thank you so much for making these videos. Going to Japan has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid and watching videos like yours continues to fuel my ambitions to get to Japan (and what to do when I go). Now I'm in the process of planning the trip (finally!) and I'm definitely adding a few stops from your videos, again, thank you!
Thank you for the video! Great editing and footage on this one. Fun and informative. The monkey battle and history of the park were my highlights. Along with the triple angle footage lol
Visiting Japan is one of my dreams... and watching your videos made me more excited!!! Hope to be there someday, but for now -- i'll enjoy knowing Japan more through your videos!!! Kudos John! From Philippines with smile 😁
I love your videos. They are getting better and better.
Finally, a new video uploaded! As always, it’s worth the wait. I was thinking what separates your channel from the rest and I’d say that it has a documentary feel to it but delivered in a fun and entertaining way. You’re making learning fun. By the way, that sweet potato craze was too hilarious to watch, hehe
It's so funny whenever I am watching a video and I see Japanese greet by bowing I for some strange reason bow in front of my computer screen too, like I am greeting them too. My girlfriend sometimes watches these episodes with me and she always asks why am I bowing every time they bow. LOL
Nice video John. Loved the camera angle from the trolley. Long live OiJ
Great that you volunteered the Snow Monkey Reserve.
Thank you this was wonderful. Looking forward to viewing your other exciting & informative videos. I am a new subscriber.
Your channel is so magical - Thanks again for dedicating your time and create great content and explore this amazing country "Japan"- Arigatou!
Interesting video, very informative. Saw the snow monkey soaked in the hot spring before, but not inside the zoo area during the meal time. A good visiting spot in Oita region. Thanks! :)
Wow awesome place John!
Huge thanks for showing all of this... keep it up. God bless you
just wanted to say I've been a fan of yours for a long time love your only in Japan go Channel. Also enjoy your only in Japan main Channel. This was one of your best videos yet love the fact that you have somebody else do the camera work for you. Love the different angles great editing as always very enjoyable keep up the good work. PS will be in Japan this summer for 3 weeks from my second time there.
John you have me legit addicted to this channel. Im also subbed to the live one but damnit.....the quality of these epsisodes are SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. I need more!!!!
I remember when you posted this on your IG page - i mean it only took me a year but I finally have the time to watch this video in full!!!!
How do you mantain this high quality production? It's amazing
John-San, another great video! The sweet potato cart footage was awesome, we had a good laugh! Austin was wondering if you had another poop throwing incident with the monkeys lol! We hope you did not. Thank you! Aloha 😁🤙🏽
That was really interesting, thanks! I have to plan a trip to Kyushu...
Good Video - the woman, Sugimoto, can really Yell Loud !! - her telling of the Troop fight was great
Very interesting....nicely made. I already knew about Snow Monkeys but not about the park. I'd love to do this job for a few days..if not permanently.
This was very educational.... Applause👏👏👏👏
That was a GREAT video on the monkeys. I've often wondered how the lived there but now I'm fully aware. Thank you and thank you to old #1 boss monkey...
What fun. Thank you for introducing us to the monkeys. It's good to see them getting good support rather than being killed for getting in the farmers way. Again thank you.
Baby monkeys... ohmigoodness, I’m dying, they’re so adorable
They’re precious lol. And they always look much bigger until up against profile of a human being lol. I LOVE macaques !!! So precious. Between them and cats , I could totally hug , pet , feed and love and enjoy them all ! God has made some amazing things !
More videos like this please love your content love from 🇮🇪❤️
Thank you, it was an educational episode for me. For a long time I was curious about the famous Snow Monkeys of Japan and did not know about they had such a program.
Also, this might seem a little silly to say, but I was fascinated the monkey feed calls in the first part was similar to the calls the Bigfoot hunters use in the Animal Planet show.
I just love how this docs are made.
Your best and most interesting video by far. That's really hard to say, considering all of your videos are amazing.
I loved this documentary.
!!!!! Potatoe cart cam. !!!!!! Very nice!
Great job, love the music!
Love your videos- We have binge watched since we found your channel!
You know how passionate someone is on this job when they can identified one specific monkey inside that huge group
From monkey eating to monkey wars, it looks like this is a fun place to visit. Great video!
thanks very much for all your effort. respect and enjoy your upload everytime.
That war story was amazing!
Thanks for the reupload John! Looking forward to more episodes soon.
Man fighting sounds you made in this makuza video is one hell of a setting. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I LOVE snow monkeys! Thank you for this.
wow interesting! that Group B and C fights.
I just watched this for the second time. Its so fascinating! Thank you.
John you're a professional at making videos very funny and interesting💯👍☺
