The Missing Link.

Take the iconic Onsen, add some monkeys and you have one of the coolest attractions in our area.

The Monkey Onsen is a natural environment where the monkey come down from the mountains to play in the sun during the day and bathe in the Onsen when is starts to snow. Unlike other wildlife attractions we have seen around the world, the monkeys are not coerced, kept in cages or tethered to a long piece of wire.

It was amazing to see the monkeys interact in the complex social structure a family of over 150 members would have. While disregarding their long distant, fully evolved cousins taking thousands of pictures.

Enjoy...
