Snow monkeys, rotemburo and a rather pleasant meal
Today we drove from Nagoya to Yudanaka to see the famous snow monkeys. It wasn't too difficult but there were not many signs to the monkey park. Luckily we had a map.
Access was via a windy road with passing points. Having paid for parking and parked, there is a short climb through woods to the entrance. (It isn't suitable for the disabled.) On the way up we occasionally saw the odd monkey nonchalanatly ...
Yudanaka day 18-19; Hot onsen and wild monkeys

Ski Heil und Badehaus in den japanischen Alpen
... schnell gewöhnt. Wer schonmal in Rotorua (Neuseeland) war, der findet den Geruch hier noch recht harmlos.

Ausschließlich ...
