iiyamadude 6 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You're right. I have been on blizzard days and it was packed. Seems that lots of people go there on the day when the slopes don't appeal to them, whether it's rain, bad snow conditions or even heavy snow. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yes, the onsen is still cooler than the outside heat Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Winter is the best time to see them. Snow Monkeys and all. Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 There seem to be more non-Japanese there than Japanese. The people, not the monkeys. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I went only once but I loved it. Stayed there for a few hours just watching them all. They totally ignore you and I liked standing right by the edge of the bath and then putting their hands over the edge with snow falling on their heads. Wonderful! Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Saw some monkeys myself yesterday monkeying around near where I live. They were after the bananas. Link to post Share on other sites

orinoco 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Quite a few in there now. That looks relaxing I am jealous. Link to post Share on other sites
Jayne 0 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I so want to see them! Must get Shiga Kogen on my list. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Tons of them in there at the moment and not a human around. I wonder if they take much less baths in the summer. I know I'm not mad keen on jumping in an onsen when it's hot and humid already. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Is anyone else like me who has no interest whatsoever in the monkeys? I know I'd never go out of my way to see them if I was to holiday down that way. Link to post Share on other sites
