The last stop on the tour was to the Tifajek Mud Pool & Hotspring. Here you can apply mud all over your body (legs only are also okay), let it dry, then dip into the mud pool to wash it off.

![Visiting the Snow Monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park? Here’s what I wish I knew❄️🐒
⏭️Swipe to last slide to see a couple of adorable baby monkeys 😘
The Nagano Snow Monkeys (aka Japanese Macaques) live in the mountains, bathe in the natural hot spring (onsen), & are protected by the Monkey Park. Some tips for your visit:
• 30 min snowy walk each way
• Bring proper footwear
• Don’t expect every monkey to be in the hot spring. There is a hierarchy where only the 2nd ranking females are allowed to enjoy the hot spring
• Don’t expect to see [a ton of] monkeys. They are wild animals so their presence is not guaranteed. Winter months (Dec - Mar) are the best times to see them, although they can visit all year round
• Respect distance and their space
