Wasn't thinking of skiing actually. Have been to Eastern Hokkaido, so thinking of Hakodate. But I won't take train as it passes Fukushima.

To see monkey in hot spring, you need to go to Nagano. Take train to Yudanaka from nagano station and take a bus or taxi to the snow monkey park. Then you can spend the night at Shibu Onsen! Check out my photos of the snow monkey here.

One of my most memorable experiences!
The short tail monkeys bathing in the hot-spring while we were freezing cold, envying them and even wished to jump in to bathe together :rotflmao: ...
