The city
Yamanouchi is the town in the Yokoyu River valley, northeast of Nagano, that includes the Yudanaka and Shibu Onsen hot-spring areas, the Jigokudani monkey park, and the Shiga Kogen highlands. The Japanese macaques that often bathe in a hot spring in winter are the best-known attraction; Shibu Onsen, with nine public baths, is the village where most visitors stay overnight.

The local experience
Park in the Yokoyu River valley, at about 850 meters altitude, where wild Japanese macaques come down from the forest and often bathe in a hot spring, especially in winter. It is reached by a trail of about 1.6 km.
A hot-spring village of more than 1,300 years in the Yokoyu River valley, with a narrow stone-paved street, multi-storey wooden inns and nine public baths, visited wearing a yukata.
A volcanic plateau over 1,500 meters in elevation, with one of the largest ski areas in Japan, dozens of interlinked runs and a venue for events at the 1998 Games. In summer, trails pass by high-altitude lakes and marshes.
