benyaujp 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Besides skiing in Nagano, I would also highly recommend to spend a side trip to visit the snow monkey hot spring park. There you will find a hot spring exclusively enjoyed by the snow monkey! Especially nice if you would like to plan for something special for your kids! Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I can't wait to visit, but I wish people would not go too close to them. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/webcam/nagano/snow-monkeys.html Did you see the banana tree? or is Rach being silly?. hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 he's an angry little bugger, isnt he? He needs to get some medical attention for his blood pressure, maybe. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 they do not have bananas in japan... They do kokodoko. Monkeys really like bananas. They have their own trees (not shown in the webcam image) Link to post Share on other sites

me jane 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My mum is coming over in March and we are going. I'll be taking an SJ sign and will let you know when we are there so you can spot us on the webcam! Don't post here but if anyone has stayed at any mum-friendly ryokans with nice family onsens (not just the tiny indoor bath) could you PM me? I really want her to have the onsen experience with all the snow outside but being British and 60 she's not too keen on getting naked with strangers! Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Awesome Me Jane, Definitely give us all the heads-up ok! Link to post Share on other sites
