YUKI ZARU

You may have heard of those adorable little critters bathing in the hot-springs of Japan called "Snow Monkeys" before. Indigenous to Japan, snow monkeys are a popular tourist attraction in Nagano prefecture. Of course, while these snow monkeys look quite cozy in the comforting hot-springs waters, did you know the name for this group activity is called "Yuki Zaru"? While that more or less translates to "Snow Monkey", yuki zaru is a great sight to see. Be sure to catch these snow monkey during our Winter Discovery Japan Tour series in winter and maybe try dipping in a hot-spring for yourself?
