X-mas in Japan: Part 4: Snow Monkeys in Hell Canyon (Jigokudani)!


Went on a side excursion to Jigokudani to see the Snow Monkeys... famous for bathing in the onsens.... This is also part 1/3 of the Japan "tamed wildlife tour"... Monkeys.  


Kimbo getting her caffeine dose
we got some brekky from the convenience store the night before.  
Kai doing his homework.  He missed 2 weeks of school for this trip, so he had to write in his journal everyday.  





The first Snow Monkey sighting!


Turns out they don't really get in the onsen unless it is cloudy and cold.  When it is sunny (like it was when we went), they prefer getting some sun. They come down here because of they feed them periodically.  That's what I mean by "tamed" wildlife... 

There we are on the webcam!  http://www.jigokudani-yaenkoen.co.jp/livecam2/video_en.php

Good question



Getting back on the Snow Monkey express!

Soon we were back in Kawagoe.
