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.

Macaques huddle together for warmth at a hot spring in Nagano, Japan. Known as snow monkeys, the animals soak in the 40C water every day during cold weather, spending their bathtime grooming, snoozing and playing on visitors’ camera tripods.
