One of the best things? There were snow monkeys even in the skiing resort!!
❄️ 🐒
The cute little creatures apparently live in the areas between the slopes and didn't seem much disturbed by the humans.
I still couldn't shake off the feeling that I was invading their habitat, though 😢
Nevertheless, it was a spectacular day, and seeing the monkeys made it even more special.

Japanese monkeys soak in an open-air hot spring at the tropical botanical garden in Hakodate, Hokkaido, northern Japan. The macaques, also known as snow monkeys, frequently enjoy a dip in the thermal pool in Jigokudani valley.
