Japanese macaques at Jigokudani hotspring in Nagano have become notable for their winter visits to the spa.
Witnessing these snow monkeys enjoying a soak in the natural hot springs was a unique travel experience that I definitely wanted to share with you all. Japan is unique in experience and this experience you would not find anywhere else in the world.

They are so calm, like they don't care how many people are around them taking pictures. Such precious memories.
They actually do care and can get violent - no one is suppose to get within 3 ft of them

Very nice vlog, I enjoyed this video a lot, the monkeys looked amazing in the snow, thank you for sharing, a new friend here as we like to see more, let's stay connected.
Awesome Video !!!!
Thank you guys so much🙏
I'm like a lil kid first time seeing snow ❄
We saw snow all the time. We're originally from Boston. It was SOOO awesome that you spent time with those Snow Monkey's. Great detail on how to get there using the bus. The video is excellent and detailed. OMG Helmi is sooo cute. Being so close to those snow monkeys. LOVED seeing the baby snow monkey biting on that piece of ice. The views were incredible and it looked like you both really had a great time. Would you stop by and watch our latest video, as we'd love to hear your thoughts as well.
wow! such an amazing place guys! the monkeys are so cute and very tamed! unlike other monkeys that I've seen from tourist spots. The snowy ambiance looks magnificent and the way you edit it is so cool! :)
Lovely snow... the cold weather is best
Japan looks Beautiful ♥️
something with magical snow 😍 indeed so beautiful
Great video. Really liked it, those snow-monkeys are soooo cute. You're trip was a little easier than ours, but you're right that it's a must do if you're in the area. Good job!
thanks so much michael🙌🙂

Definitely place for panda, the hungry black panda😆😊
nice video dear, i always love your all video
thanks so much 🙌
Hey Nick and Helmi!! It looks so amazing watching the snow fall in a place that we have never been! Nagano Japan looks absolutely breathtaking. Love the spikes you had at the bottom of your shoes to help you walk in the snow. That is so cool that you can get the past to see the monkeys from the local train station! It looked almost like a magical wonderland… With the snow, and the monkeys all around. We probably would've been worried about our cell phones being taken… But we probably wouldn't have cared because the monkeys were just so damn cute! What a wonderful experience and you have captured some very beautiful moments in time. Thanks for sharing and taking us with you!
You were so close to that monkey and it was so unbothered! When I was in Japan, a monkey like that in Kyoto tried to attack my friend and me lol. I love the way ya'll shot and edited this and how you narrated
Aww thanks 🙏
They broke the rules and should not of gotten that close - because they can get violent
Wow,....!!! Awesome Video👍😍 Greetings from Dubai 😍😍😍😍
hellooo!! damn i wish we visit dubai soon!! thanks so much🙌
@@nickandhelmi : Always welcome dear..🙂👍
This was sure a cool place! i was vlogging there in January. I really love Japan. Nice channel guys.
ahh isn't japan a place where you want to go back again? hehe. we missed little bit too much :)
Ang cute nila hehe
Absolutely loved this video! 👍I can't believe how close you could get to the Snow Monkey!?! Great video and editing!!
yess they were running around wildly in the park so we can get so close - but don't touch them though. thanks so much patrick🙌😄
This is one of the reasons why human must not get too close to wild animals, endangered or not. Other people will think that it's okay since somebody else gets too close. "If they can, why can't I?". Definitely don't get too close to the animals if you are in any wildlife parks.
The animals, although provisioned, are still wild. They could attack you any moments if your presence is considered as a threat. Apart from that, the possibility of disease transmission may also occurs.
Omg wow I rarely ever see snow! It's so beautiful 😍
Amazing view right mei😍😂
🥰😍bellissimo video complimenti ciao
Wow 👍👍
Wow the snow!!! 😍😍😍 and First btw hahaha!!!
Congratssss hahahaa😍 u woke up so early
It's absolutely a beautiful view
The toilet looks really cool with the typical Japanese sliding door
Somehow this video reminds us of the Twilight Saga movie with those trees
The monkeys look really chill with people and they don't bother people at all
How amazing it is.
The monkey forest we visited in Bali was different with the monkeys behaviour
Great episode Nick & Helmi 👍👍👍
@@nickandhelmi hahhahahah that left our son a trauma until now after what happened to him at the monkey forest in Ubud. Thanks guys for the video 👍👍👍
cuma mau bilang...cantik...Love snow⛄⛄⛄
aww thanks guys :D emang beautiful ya
@@nickandhelmi biar dikatain ndeso tapi Mintje kalo di sini snow turun masih aja jingkrak2 dan mood jalan2 langusng ON ha ha ha
Very beautiful place, thank you, new here.
thanks saima!!😁🙌
keep going
Wow‼awesome!!!!!!!cool video♥♥♥♥♥♥Like〜
thank you, glad you like it🤗
Awww watch out my beautiful friend those things can bite and hurt you. Lo lol god bless you
The snow monkey at 5:48 looks like a wise old sage!
Yeap just posing in hand rail while looking at hoomans 😆
Food and Footprints right? They look like sacred animals and the slow motion and b roll adds to it
The Mamuchos Yeah! Beautifully filmed and edited 🔥🔥
Food and Footprints haha thx guys got lucky w that shot 😆
1301video very very good 👍👍
Ahh wow what a beautiful place! It really looks like a place from a Ghibli film or anime especially with the gorgeous snow. Those monkeys seem pretty chill. How were the tourists like around them? In a recent trip to Malaysia we were a little sad to see the tourists aggravating the monkeys and constantly trying to pet them like they were dogs or something.
yeah absolutely amazing place during winter, so surreal.😍 we've seen several tourist try to pet them but there were like couple of park guards around to make sure nobody is too close to the monkeys.
Beautiful ! When does it start to snow ?
Sorry more questions 😆, do they open if it’s not in snow season? What do the monkeys do if it’s not in winter? 🤔
Two Hungry Diners those are great questions.. we wanna know too
They do open all season but I wouldn't really recommend coz it can get smelly (from its poop💩 lol) and can't beat the snow view. They're just chilling, playing, and sometimes fight with each other over food 😅 after all, they're wild animals😊
Snoowww.. aku belum pernah ke tempat yang banyak snownya.. masuk dalam list.. cing cing
Pastinya yaa hehhee.. Ini juga udah lamaa bgt ga liat
Excellent video thanks so much for putting it together! Can't wait to visit here in a few weeks time. I see this video was published on April 1st..... would you be so kind as to tell me what dates it was filmed just so I can get an idea of what to expect with regards to snow etc. Thanks in advance. Dan
Hi Dan, glad you enjoy the video. We visited Jigokudani park on 31 Dec 2018 and back then there was so much snow. I heard same date last december 2019 there was no snow because of warm winter. But you can always check the live stream camera on Jigokudani park, just google it and you will see live condition on how much snow at the moment 😊
@@nickandhelmi you're amazing thanks so much for the reply! Keep up the great content
Thanks Dan, enjoy your trip 🙌🏻😊
Naganoooooo! always wanted to visit the snow monkeys at the hot springs. Wow the snow shots is so nice! hahahah ur really struggling on that hike. Need to get fit! Can people go into the hot springs with the monkeys?
i gotta go back to gym hahah.. not in that hot spring but outside the park, there is like small inn with outdoor hotspring. we've seen people bathing with monkeys🤗
Your coverage of the station entrances and footpaths in the park was just what I needed! I'm going to Nagano (staying at a Yudanaka ryokan) in mid-September this year, but don't know how much time should be budgeted for the Jigokudani Monkey Park. Do you remember how long you stayed there for?
ragabara hey im so glad you found that useful - made this because i had a hard time finding how to get there too. We arrive the night before and enjoy a nice onsen at the ryokan we stayed at and the next morning woke up early to head to the snow monkey park - its about a 30 minute hike - but id say an hour or so is more than enough, if you go say early morning by noon you should be done :).
Hope that helps
Nick 😀🙌
I am to get there today
👍👍👍
Thanks marius for the thumbs up✌
The view in the entire video throughout is so beautiful!! ❤️😍 The snow monkey bathing is so adorable!! They look really friendly. Lol that last monkey scene 😂❤️ Such a magical place, awesome video guys!
Great place to be, chilling out in onsen🙊
Love the video guys, when was this from?
Millennial Travel Confessions this was 28 of Dec 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
What exact date/month did you go? I'm trying to find out whether there will be snow in early January or not...
Hi what date/ month was this ? Mid December or January ? Thanks
What month did you go with snow?
hi Nick and Helmi, if I already have JR Pass , do i still need to buy the snow monkey park (3500yen) . does JR pass cover the transportation to monkey park ? than i just pay the entrance fees (800yen) . TQ , and i love your video ^^
Hi Douglas - yes you do need to buy the snow monkey park still - the JR pass covers you to just nagano station. Hope that helps - i thought i reply this already, sorry if i havent! >_< - hope you can travel there once this is all over
wahhh liat this snow monkey is in my list.. editing kalian emang mantep ya..masih kurang berapa jam lagi Nick utk bisa dapet iklan?
Masih bbrp jem, soon nih senja haha.. perlu master ngajarin😂
Nick and Helmi enak kalau ber-2 jadi bisa ada kameramen nya ya .. cuss nanti eike puter2 ya biar cepet
what exactly the month was snow came out
What month is this snowing?
May I ask what month was this?
In which month that you guys went ?
December :D end!
Videonya keren dan pemandangannya indah. BTW Nick dan Helmi kesini pada saat tanggal dan bulan apa (pengen salju kayak gini) ?
sanrio novan hehe halo - ini waktu bulan december hehe 🙌😬 kalo ga salah ini tanggal 30 december 🤣🙏 but snow harusnya semenjak akhir november sampe february an masi ada harusnya - tapi ada website untuk liat apa ada snow untuk snow monkey online sih hehe
what month you have been here
may I ask which month did you go there?
End of December :) we spent NY here hehe
What month did you go here thank you :)
This was January 2019 - but best bet to go mid to end of January because sometime the snow may be late
When did you go?
Shelley's Cloud hi Shelley we went last december :) 👏👏 - are you headed up there? Hope the guide helps you
Nick and Helmi I’m planning a trip but just in the early stages (and need to save lots!) and I defs want to see the snow monkeys.
Your vids are helping lots. I’ve been binge watching! Thank you!
hi how about the language communication there do they speak english?
Hi, they do speak english and all directions/train stations/bus/tourist areas have the English translation so we had no problem at all 🙂 Japanese people are so nice so even some can't speak good English, they will help you the best they can 👍🏻
Nick and Helmi hi thanx so much for the help 😀
This was one confusing video. Couldn’t really understand how long it will really take it to get to park from nagano
I dont think its confusing at all. This video was pretty linear - it was also mentioned in the voiceover how long the train ride is - 50minute , when you get to yudanaka - its like 15 min by bus to the park, plus 30 minutes hike to the top. This video shows you how to get there not so much the time as it depends on what you do.
well to be honest, i never see real snow. For fake snow, I experienced it in Snow City.
it's back in Indonesia few years ago and in Singapore.
gotta go to japan and experience snow haha😄😄
Wow nice sharing , I just joined your fam,hope u do same t y
thanks miss phan😃
i have been there and you cant not be that near to the monkeys. Is not allowed in the park.
You can because the monkey walks around you
Nice vlog i like your channel 😊 subscribed
