me jane SJ'er with 1000+ posts Registered: Sun Nov 07 2004 Posts: 1783 Loc: Yokohama	Gamera, Tarzan had a similar experience as a child. He likes animals but is not too interested in monkeys! Was thinking about going there next Jan with my mum.

Nice spot to come back to after a beautiful stroll through the forest. _________________________ Ride the White Horse "Living the Dream"

dale#1 SJ'er with 500+ posts Registered: Tue Apr 02 2002 Posts: 618 Loc: Tokyo	Didn't notice that. Aren't there 2 paths leading up to it - one nearer the main road going up to SK and the other one a little further in?

TJ OZ SJ'er with 500+ posts Registered: Wed Dec 10 2003 Posts: 743 Loc: Hakuba, Japan	I'm not sure about the paths. We caught a bus from the train station that dropped us off and pointed us up the hill. It was 1-2 km easy walk along a forest path to the monkeys. _________________________ Ride the White Horse "Living the Dream"

I want to go when it's snowing and there's some snow sprinkled on the tops of those monkey heads. _________________________ I make up for it with cunning and guile.

cal SJ'er with 1000+ posts Registered: Thu Nov 29 2001 Posts: 1251 Loc: Tokyo	I think they always hang in the same area - suppose they might want to be taking more onsen in winter than summer though maybe. They are always there though apparently. You can get as close as you want - and that means very close. Well take a look at the photos on there, take a camera and you can take photos like that. _________________________ If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.
