Japanese snow monkeys (also known as snow macaque's) actually have a class system based on family ties, a very strange type of monkey indeed, they also like to thieve in marauding groups when they hit low land in the summer-time stealing fruits from villagers or anything shiny, oh yeah they make the summer time matter also and they're very adapted and used to humans and machinery, so much they'll snatch an iphone or two

It is famous for its large population of wild Japanese macaques, more commonly referred to as snow monkeys, that go to the valley during the winter, foraging elsewhere in the national park during the warmer months. The monkeys descend from the steep cliffs and forest to sit in the warm waters of the onsen (hotsprings), and return to the security of the forests in the evenings.

Though the Jigokudani Yaen-koen is well known as the place where we can see bathing monkeys, it can only be seen during winter seasons. Bathing is a way to protect themselves from the extreme cold weather. Therefore they are reluctant to take a bath during other warm seasons. It is not always true that you can see bathing monkeys here.

Since the monkeys are fed by park attendants, they are in the area of the hot springs all the year round, and a visit at any season will enable the visitor to observe hundreds of the macaques.

Jigokudani is not the farthest north that monkeys live. The Shimokita Peninsula is at the northern part of the Honshū island and the northwest area of this peninsula, latitude +41°31' longitude +140°56', approximately 310 miles north from Jigokudani is the northern limit of Japanese macaque habitat. No (non-human) primate is known to live in a colder climate.

The Japanese call this a "monkey park" but for the monkeys it's a natural habitat that the humans have slapped a front door onto, luckily for them they have an entire mountainous forest in which to disappear in that backdrop, but it turns out they like the attention. They even have a class system and the tourists feed them treats when the monkeys are finished with their day they go back into the hills at night in this Google map VR panoramic 360° tour view
