Different ranks of onsen monkeys #travel #onsen #monkey

🌄🐒 Did you know about the class system of the onsen monkeys? While many people are aware of these snow monkeys, few realize that they’re mostly born into their social ranks.

Only the top alpha males get to chill in the onsen area. 🛁✨ These alphas have to earn their status through respect and influence, much like in human society.
