Onsen Monkey 1, a photo from Nagano, Chubu

Photographer's Note

Onsen Monkeys
This is one shot of a group of pictures taken at the "Jigokudani Yaen-koen" park in Nagano.
Here you can enjoy the onsens (hot spring) yourself and so do the monkeys. Every morning they come down from the mountain to enjoy hot water.
This is not a zoo and the animals are wild, though used to be around people.
Great experience!

Hello Etienne

I would not like to spend time in a hot spring pool with this silver haired red faced mean looking beast.

Nice catch

Regards

Sam
