Cheeky Monkeys

While we were in Kamikochi, we saw many monkeys who happily live in the wild around that area, but seem very happy and comfortable with humans around. They were often hidden up a tree, scavenging for tasty morsels, but we were lucky to see some up close too. I have always wanted to go and see the snow monkeys. You can check out some images of them here. They really are amazing and obviously love to wallow in the hot waters when it's cold outside! I am hoping to do a trip to visit them in the winter.....
