Wakinosawa Village Wild Monkey Park

Small attractions, just stroll around, long history

On February 9, 2016, my daughter and I went to Hell Valley Wild Ape Park in Nagano Yusu, Japan, to have a close encounter with 160 wild monkeys there. I thought that the monkeys in Hokkaido Hakodate were the same as the hot springs. Who knows that the monkeys here are not in captivity and live freely in the mountains. The reason for attracting them to concentrate on the mountains is that there is a special person to give them food regularly. The hot spring pools they build for them are not concentrated together, but they prefer to eat and bask in the sun on the mountainside and drink hot spring water. Since tourists cannot feed or touch monkeys strictly, there is no sense of danger in the coexistence of tourists and monkeys, but everyone can find their own fun. You can't eat anything there, you have to eat in the lounge. There are good habits that make monkeys very innocent.
