This place is amazing! A must go if you visit Japan in the winter season. You have to walk around 45 min to get there and the view is beautiful. The monkeys are free to come and go inside the park so it’s a great opportunity to watch them enjoy their own park and onsen.

Definitely not the easiest walk, especially in the winter, so come prepared! On rainy and snowy days, boots are a must but you can rent them before heading on the mile long walk. Parking is free but there are limited spots. The monkeys are cool and crazy, but they do get very close up to you.
Honestly, it's not too long of a walk, but it was icy. So be careful going both ways. There were plenty of monkeys out, and the staff had just laid out food for them as well. Only one actually got into the hot spring, unfortunately. Overall, a great experience and the monkeys will get close.
The area with the onsen itself is smaller than I expected. If you come in the morning the monkeys are more interested in their breakfast rather than in anything else. And yet, it is a coll place. The monkeys are super cute, not afraid of the people. It is worth visiting.
There is nothing like this place. This is why you come to yudanaka! The snow monkeys are really quite something just make sure to give them space. The park has a bit of a hike so make sure to bring shoes with a good trip because it can be slippery in the winter time
