Transportation Guide to the Jigokudani Snow Monkeys for 2013 Spring/Summer/Fall
地獄谷野猿公苑のスノーモンキーは相変わらず、人気があります。亀清旅館・戸倉上山田温泉から楽で日帰りで行ける。車なら亀清から野猿公苑の登り口まで高速で約1時間。電車なら色んな乗換方法があるので一番便利なのをまとめて、この表を作りました。
春は赤ちゃんが生まれるのでスノーモンキーは雪がなくても見るのは楽しい♪
The famous "Snow Monkeys" of Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park are as popular as always. Going to see the monkeys is an easy day trip from Kamesei Ryokan and our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada. By car, it only takes an hour from our inn to the trailhead. By public transportation, it can be a bit confusing. To make sense of it all, I compiled this list to get from our local Togura Station, changing at Nagano Station to reach the trailhead at Kambayashi. From there, it is a pleasant 30 minute walk through a beautiful evergreen forest.
There doesn't need to be snow to enjoy the snow monkeys. Especially with the babies being born in Spring, the monkeys are fascinating to watch in the green season as well!
