Matsumoto-Jo and Snow Monkeys!

Picturesque Matsumoto-jo

Me and Matsumoto-jo

The main keep, maybe from the south?

A little boy watching the koi, thought it looked interesting

Matsumoto-jo, maybe from the North-west?  with its vermillion bridge

Me and Onsen Snow Monkeys!

finding seeds to eat





I guess its especially important that tourists not feed the monkeys, but apparently its not a problem if the park wardens do! (I think hes giving the monkey a seed or something, not people food)

Monkeys on the move!  It wasn't quite like this all over.  They kinda moved around in little groups, but all kinda hung around the same area around the hotspring and the nearby river/ wide river bank and I read that over all there was around 200 of them

some baby monkeys

They have such expressive person-like eyes!

  1. You took a few really nice photos. These were really nice to see. I'm glad you got to see the snow monkeys after all.
