後楽館　サルと一緒に入れる露天風呂がカオスだった！The open-air hot springs with snow monkeys was chaos!

ここはSnow Monkeyで有名な長野県 地獄谷温泉。
そこでサルと一緒に露天風呂に入れる温泉宿があると聞き好奇心で行って来ました。
その日の気温はマイナス７度。サル達も寒かったからか露天風呂も大賑わい！　その数30匹以上！大人のサルは私には目もくれずマイペースでくつろいでいました。
子ザル達は予測不可能な動きがカオス！私はすっかり怖気ずいて足湯だけを楽しみました足を入れた瞬間、まるで氷が溶けていくかの如く体の力がスーッと抜けて…まさに天国♨　サル達がずーっと入っている気持ちも解ります。　温泉は毎朝 全ての湯を抜いて入れ替えています。サル達も心得ていてお湯が一杯になるまでそばで待っている姿に癒されます。
そんな愛くるしい姿を収めたので最後まで観て頂けると嬉しいです。

This is the Jigokudani hot spring in Nagano Pref.,famous for its snow monkeys!
There is a hot spring resort where you can take an open-air bath with monkeys. I went there out of curiosity.　It was very cold that day,maybe because the -7degrees Celsius,and many monkeys were gathered in the open-air bath.
The adult monkeys were relaxing,not even looking at me.
But the little monkeys were turning into chaos with their unpredictable movements.
This atmosphere did not allow me to take a mixed bath. I only enjoyed the footbath.
The moment I put my feet in,I felt my body relax. It’s like heaven!!!!
I could understand how the monkeys felt when they were in the hot springs.
All hot spring water is drained and replaced daily.
The monkeys wait by the side until the hot water is ready.
I hope you will watch it to the end, as I captured such a lovely sight!
Thank you!
