Hi, I’m Tabi!
Yamanouchi is a town in Nagano. Explore macaque observation at Jigokudani Yaen-Koen and the streetscape of Shibu Onsen. Photographs show a macaque in 2014 and the onsen streets in 2024. They do not promise monkeys or bathing scenes on every visit. Check current access, operations and return services.
This guide covers places within Yamanouchi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
