💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during winter months (December-March) to see the monkeys most actively enjoying their hot spring bath; they tend to be less enthusiastic in warmer weather. The entire attraction can be toured in 20-30 minutes, making it perfect for families with young children who can enjoy the water play area. Purchase monkey food at the entrance ticket counter for a more interactive experience, and take advantage of the free parking and foot bath facility.
