I Went to See the Snow Monkeys in Japan — This Is What It’s Really Like

In this video, I visit the famous snow monkeys in Nagano at Jigokudani Monkey Park — one of Japan’s most unique wildlife experiences. Known for relaxing in natural onsen baths during winter, these monkeys have become one of the most iconic sights in Japan.
But what is it actually like to visit them in real life – in autumn.

  3. If you can't respect Japanese culture or follow basic manners—like staying quiet at night and wearing a yukata correctly—then don't bother coming to Japan ever again
