MummySkier 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Amazing. I just decided I want to really go Shiga Kogen! The kids would LOVE them as much as me I think. Link to post Share on other sites
PWL 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Went to see them yesterday they were so cool. I really enjoyed it there. Your photos are astonishing muikabochi. I have some snaps but there's no point in posting them with what you have put here. I'll put a few in my Shiga Kogen report though. Brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ah, I asked if you went to see them in another thread. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Wonderful animals! I want to go one day when they are sitting there with snow on their heads.

Finnishcookie 0 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 are there any facilities up there like a small shop or restroom or is it just an onsen? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I doubt the monkeys are all that bothered with toilets, Finnishcookie. Where you buy your ticket to enter, there are some toilets and a very (very) simple shop and lockers. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You may also want to find a different location for an onsen Link to post Share on other sites

norcal 5 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You have to pay to see these monkeys? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 About 500 yen I think. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 You can generally see plenty og monkeys for free a bit further up the road to Shiga Kogen - mostly near where the cantivered section of road is. You also see them around some of the lodges in Ichinose & Hasiuke. Don't leave your hotel windows open - they pinch anything Link to post Share on other sites

Although I didnt factor in hiring a car, as I am planning to take a train from tokyo to echigo-yuzawa and then during my stay take a day at Jigokudani. Trains seem quite expensive option... can I hire a car for the day from Ishiuchi or Gala...? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Train from Yuzawa to Jigokudani would not be ideal. I imagine it would involve getting the train from Yuzawa to Tokamachi and then the local Iiyama line to somewhere near Yamanouchi. Not familiar with those things. The car trip I said above takes about 100 minutes fastest add more for conditions and roads being busy. I seriously doubt there is any kind of bus service going there from Yuzawa. There is car hire in Yuzawa but not actually at the resorts. There's one I can think of near the old SJ World Headquarters a few minutes walk from the East exit of the station. Oh yes and another right near the West exit of the station just coming out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I doubt Gala will rent you a car as thats just a ski-jo, you may get one in Yuzawa town though Link to post Share on other sites
