Use a JR EAST PASS and our high-speed trains for a winter trip: come see snow monkeys soaking in the hot springs!
Do you know Japan’s snow monkeys? At Jigokudani Yaen Park in Nagano Prefecture, these clever monkeys enjoy the hot springs at the only place in the world where you can see such unusual behavior. Our high-speed Shinkansen trains transport you in just 80 minutes from Tokyo to Nagano, near the hot springs. Using the convenient JR EAST PASS for the Nagano-Niigata area, you can visit the snow monkeys, and other major tourist destinations such as Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Nikko etc. This winter, with a JR East Pass, visit these cute and curious monkeys while they relax in the hot springs.
