6 of the best places to see wild monkeys in Japan
-
- When the Japanese speak of ‘monkeys’, they are usually referring to the native Japanese Macaque, also known as the Snow Monkey for its origins in Japan’s frozen northernmost regions. With both its face and posterior are a distinctive shade of pink, it is characterized by frequent mischievous behavior. Known here as the nihonzaru (‘Japanese monkey’), so fond are the Japanese of the species that dedicated parks have sprung up across the country, where visitors can encounter this living national treasure in natural surroundings. Here are six of the best. Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Jigokudani Monkey Park is the source of those world-famous photos of Japanese Macaques bathing in natural hot springs. Located in the Japanese Alps town of Yamanouchi, it is the only place in the world where this spectacle can be marveled at. Surrounded by forest and especially captivating when snow-capped from December through March, the park was created in the macaques’ natural habitat of a dormant volcanic region (Jigokudani literally means ‘Hell Valley’), with the inhabitants free to come and go as they please.Though essentially ‘wild’, the Jigokudani monkeys are well used to gawping homo sapiens and so go about their lives paying little attention to tourists. A small visitor center gives an English-language lowdown on the group’s alpha male-ruled hierarchy.Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Osarunoyama Monkey Park, Nikko Osarunoyama Monkey Park, Nikko The historic city of Nikko is closely associated with simians: it is here that the legend of the three wise monkeys originated. It’s a perfect location then for Osarunoyama Monkey Park, or ‘Monkey Mountain’ as it is informally known.The park, accessed via ropeway from the onsen resort town of Kinugawa, consists of a mountain plateau where dozens of macaque families go about their lives in a leisurely style, sunning themselves and taking in the impressive view. Article: Monkey Mountain of Nikko Awajishima Monkey Center Awajishima Monkey Center This attraction lies by the southeastern coast of Awajishima island in the Seto Inland Sea. Here a 300-strong macaque posse, which is cared for both humanely and ethically, scurries around the spacious grounds and gathers atop elevated ‘rooftops’ specially created for simian socializing. Non-aggressive and friendly, the monkeys happily share their domain with a number of roaming deer.Awajishima Monkey Center Article: Where to Go in Awajishima Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Over on Shodoshima, on the eastern side of the Seto Inland Sea, awaits the mountainside Choshikei Monkey Park. This is another fenceless location, where several hundred macaques freely come and go. What has them flocking here daily is a highly scenic space with a view out to sea, and plenty to keep them occupied including wooden climbing frames, tyre swings, rock pools, and an abundance of trees to monkey around in.Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Article: Where to Go on Shodoshima Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Yet more cheeky macaques, roughly 120 of them, reside at this park situated in historic and picturesque Arashiyama, a 15-minute train ride from central Kyoto. Here the monkeys enjoy acres of land, rich in trees, grass, and rocks, surrounding the hill of Iwatayama itself. Many of them make the trek up to Iwatayama’s peak for a superb view over to Kyoto, as can visitors: for humans, it’s roughly a 30-minute hike. One neat aspect of this attraction is the way it turns the traditional zoo format on its head: while the macaques roam free, visitors who wish to feed them must do so from within a special cage!Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita The entirety of this 628 meter-high mountain, sat by Beppu Bay between hot spring resort Beppu and the city of Oita, forms a nature sanctuary dedicated to the ubiquitous Japanese Macaque. A bus from Oita Station will take you to the park entrance, and from there you can either walk up to where the monkeys reside, which can get a little steep, or instead take a dedicated monorail. Aim to be there at either 12 noon or 3pm: these are the main feeding times, when hundreds of hungry nihonzaru gather to keenly fill their bellies.Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita Article: Oita's Monkey Park ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Shujo Onie
-
- For those not afraid to detour off the well-trodden path, the unique Shujo Onie in Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita is well worth the effort. Held every February at Tennen-ji Shrine, it’s said this celebration has a history that goes back over 1,000 years. A way to pray for a good harvest in the new year, the event’s rituals feature freezing river swimming and a giant bonfire. The final part of the celebration is the most thrilling; two demons make their way around the city's main shrine, banging fire and spreading the burning ashes. A little more dangerous than most other festivals, if you survive, you’re bound to have a good year.

Onsen in Japan - 10 of the Best
-
- Though there are many ways to experience Japan, you’ve scarcely skimmed the surface until you’ve visited an onsen. And in a country blessed with bustling thermal activity–Mt. Fuji is a volcano, after all–a hot spring is never far away. Let’s dive in and explore some of the highlights of Japan’s rich culture of public bathing. How many spots have you visited from our list? Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma Prefecture Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma Prefecture Kusatsu’s water is the most acidic in Japan, earning it a reputation of being practically medicinal (that’s not quack science–plenty of data backs up the restorative properties of piping hot onsen water). Choose from 18 public baths, and don’t forget to check out the Yubatake (hot water field), the impressive source of Kusatsu’s glorious water supply, and Netsunoyu bathouse, where colourfully costumed women stir steaming pools of water to cool it to the ideal temperature for bathing. Gero Onsen, Gifu Prefecture Gero Onsen, Gifu Prefecture Regarded since the Edo period as one of the top three onsen in Japan, Gero Onsen is comprised of three separate bath houses where you can soak yourself into serenity. There are also plenty of ryokan (Japanese inns) with their own private tubs, and a large open-air public bath that visitors can enter for free. Shy ones, be warned: there are no changing facilities and passerby have a clear view of the bath from the bridge above. Arima Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture Arima Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture Located in the shadow of Mt. Rokko, Arima Onsen is one of the oldest and most famous bathing resorts in Japan. One such reason for its popularity might be its unique dual water supply: so-called “gold springs” are yellowish-brown in colour and rich in iron and salt, while Arima’s “silver springs” get their name from their high concentration of radium and carbonate. Make sure you leave enough time to enjoy the unique health benefits of both. Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture Cozily tucked amongst the mountains, Ginzan’s waters derive their rich mineral content from a decommissioned silver mine that was once the town’s main source of income. It’s known for its especially beautiful ryokan, including an impressive four-storey inn rebuilt in 2006 by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, and a 22-metre waterfall provides a charming backdrop almost any time of year. Beppu Onsen, Oita Prefecture Beppu Onsen, Oita Prefecture Beppu is an area well known for its hot springs–in fact, it has more than any other region of Japan–but Beppu Onsen stands out among them for its sheer number of baths and variety of bathing experiences. A trip to Beppu Onsen is much more than a dip in the tub: visitors can indulge in baths of steam, sand, and–if you don’t mind a bit of a mess–mud. Of course, each method is praised for its different restorative effects on health and beauty. Yufuin Onsen, Oita Prefecture Yufuin Onsen, Oita Prefecture Ten kilometres from Beppu is Yufuin Onsen, another much-loved hot spring resort. Beautifully sandwiched between the natural splendour of Mount Yufu and Lake Kinrinko, Yufuin Onsen’s water is praised for for its natural moisturizing effects on tired skin. There’s plenty of local ryokans to choose from–including some whose outdoor baths include breathtaking views of Mount Yufu’s misty twin peaks. Also worth a visit in Shitanyu Public Bath, which looks like something ripped from the page’s of a Japanese history book. Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto Prefecture Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto Prefecture Kurokawa’s residents have worked hard to keep it free from the massive hotels that have been known to invade and dominate a once-quaint onsen town, and its decided lack of electric light makes it an ideal escape from urban Japan. Some of Kurokawa’s best offerings are its open-air baths, which can be enjoyed in bulk by purchasing a three-bath discount pass for a mere 1300 yen. Some smaller baths charge as little as 100 yen in exchange for a dip, meaning a little bit of cash goes a long way in this charming onsen town. Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture Kinosaki is one of Kansai’s best onsen, where onsen lovers have been making pilgrimage since the 8th century. Naturally, its developed since its days of yore: Kinosaki is now home to seven splendid bath houses, all of which look impossibly picturesque–even more so once the sun’s gone down. Those with tattoos, take note: all seven of Kinosaki’s onsen are open to those with ink, making them a bit of a unicorn in a country that’s still a bit apprehensive about body art. Iizaka Onsen, Fukushima Prefecture Iizaka Onsen, Fukushima Prefecture The water running through Iizaka’s nine public baths and three footbaths’ is extra hot–42 degrees celcius, in fact, making it slighty toastier than your average onsen experience. Despite over 1,000 years of history, Iizaka Onsen’s baths look surprisingly new, thanks to recent refurbishments and renovations. We’re crazy about the Hako-yu Koen, a footbath conveniently located near the train station so you can warm your feet before heading home. Zao Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture Zao Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture Visit Zao Onsen in the winter to first partake in its top-notch ski and snowboard facilites, then take your cold bag of bones for a rejuvenating soak in the sulfur-rich waters of one of its three indoor or open-air baths. If you can’t make it until the warmer months, don’t worry–those who visit Zao outside of winter can enjoy a ravine-fed outdoor bath that shuts down during the mountain region’s coldest months. The only downside to Japanese onsen towns? How difficult it is to choose which one to go to next. Fortunately, you’ll be reaping the benefits exclusive to an all-natural hot tub no matter where you end up. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Onsen Hopping in Kyushu
-
- With its dense population of bubbling volcanic sources, Japan is arguably one of the major hot spring destinations of the world and is said to have more hot springs than any other country, with a large percentage of them in Kyushu. From the hot spring sands of Ibusuki to the hidden local bathing towns of Yufuin, there’s a seemingly endless supply of hot spring water pumping through this less traveled Island, and here are just a handful of our favorites. Tsuetate Onsen Town, Kumamoto Tsuetate Onsen Town, Kumamoto In the far north of Kumamoto, deep inside a steaming valley crevasse is where you’ll find Tsuetate, an onsen town, and resort filled with healing water and a fascinating history. The origin of this onsen town goes back to the 1800s, and throughout its lifetime its role has changed many times. Once considered a luxury travel destination, and often referred to as ‘Kyushu’s inner sanctum,’ it was where the area’s high society folk came to unwind. Today it’s open to visitors from all walks of life and makes for an excellent place to explore Kyushu’s hot spring legacy. Tsuetate has several small ryokans and bathhouses making it a comfortable day trip spot, or a worthy weekend destination. If you do make it, be sure to try onsen vegetable steaming, and snap some unique photos of The Maple Bridge impressive collection of wooden e-goi plaques covered in wishes. Beppu Area, Oita Beppu Area, Oita Located in the northeast of Kyushu, Oita Prefecture is a hotbed of hot spring activity, and the town of Beppu is the unofficial headquarters. With so many onsen outlets, it can be difficult to decide where to begin, so let’s run through some of the best. With its steam billowing along the mountainside, Horita Onsen area is one of Beppu’s most picturesque. Great for young people and families, this area has several onsen facilities, which are cheap to enter (210 yen for adults and 100 yen for children) and allow guests with tattoos. Named after a nearby waterfall (which is well worth a visit) Shiraito no Taki is perfect for those wanting to bathe with opposite-sex companions in a private setting. This onsen requires guests to rent a private room for a fee of 1,000 yen for 50 minutes. For a more community-centric experience, The Kannawa Onsen area is where you should head. A neighborhood crafted from winding alleys smothered in clouds of steam, Kannawa Onsen is where the locals go for their regular wind-down bath. There are many bathhouses to choose from here, making it perfect for an evening of bath-crawling. Yufuin, Oita Yufuin, Oita A little more compact compared to its neighbor Beppu, Oita’s city of Yufuin is perfect for those who want to feel like they’ve discovered a well-kept hot spring secret. Located at the base of Mt. Yufu, some of the area’s baths offer views of Lake Kinrinko and Mt. Yufu. Not for the faint of heart, or those prone to overheating, Yufuin’s baths tend to lean on the hotter side, with water sitting around the 40C+ mark. Once you’ve had a soak, head over to the shopping district of Yorozuya to browse the local craft shops and pick up some traditional Japanese pottery. Hinagu Onsen Town Hinagu Onsen Town Sitting on the southern side of Kumamoto, near the ocean is where you’ll find Hinagu Onsen Town. Far from a major tourist attraction, Hinagu Onsen is excellent for those who want a more low key side of Kyushu. Make an effort to explore, and you’ll realize that this is a town full of hidden surprises and endearing local charm. The major bath complex is Hinagu Onsen, which also houses a restaurant, a snack bar, and a gift shop. Kurokawa Onsen, Minamioguni, Kumamoto Kurokawa Onsen, Minamioguni, Kumamoto In the mountains north of Aso caldera, Kurokawa Onsen was a booming tourist destination in the 1960s. Today, it’s a charming, rustic local onsen town with something for all traveling types. Somehow managing to avoid the influence of significant redevelopment due to tourism, the area feels almost untouched. You won’t find any monolithic concrete hotels, neon signs, or major convenience stores, but rather a collection of locally run businesses proud of their community-centric heritage. Perfect for enjoying the natural beauty of Kyushu, the area is famous for its outdoor hot spring baths, and almost all of the town’s ryokan have at least one. If you’re looking to disconnect from the manic energy of the city, and truly refresh and reconnect with nature, this is the place to do it. Kumamoto Ibusuki Sand Bath Kumamoto Ibusuki Sand Bath For something a little different, the Saraku Sand Bath Hall in Ibusuki is a novel adventure. Dressed in a yukata, guests are buried underneath piles of heated sand powered by the nearby volcanic activity. The combination of sand weight, heat, and high sodium content are said to improve blood circulation, digestive problems, rheumatism, neuralgia, and to rid the body of toxins. Given that it’s an experience near impossible to find anywhere else in the world, if you’re in the area it’s well worth trying at least once. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Usa Shrine
-
- Pacifists beware: Usa Shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war. More specifically, Usa-jingu is believed to be the first shrine in Japan in which Hachiman, the god of military power, was enshrined. It has therefore enjoyed the close protection of the Imperial family, and though around 40,000 other shrines have since been dedicated to the militant deity, Usa remains the most important. Incorporating both Buddhist and Shinto influences, its main building has been designated a national treasure of Japan and its “treasure hall” displays Meiji-era artifacts. Other must-see features include the Kurehashi, a vibrant sloped bridge, and an magnificent 800-year-old tree regarded for its sacred properties. Heading to Usa is a trip in itself: located in in the northeastern corner of Ōita Prefecture near the Kunisaki Peninsula, Usa is the southernmost shrine on our list, and reachable via around an hourly bus from Usa Station.

The Top 5 Notable Shrines of Japan
-
- First, an important distinction: shrines are associated with the Shinto religion, indigenous to Japan, while temples are Buddhist. But shrines serve an important cultural function in Japan apart from their religious connotations. Whether grand affairs or tucked amongst rows of family homes, shrines are important sites of ceremony for annual events such as New Year’s Day or social milestones like weddings. Gates called torii, which mark the border between the sacred and secular worlds, make for stunning works of architecture recognized internationally as symbols of Japan. Whatever your take on the supernatural, no visit to Japan is complete without a trip to one of its notable shrines, so make a point of visiting at least one of these important sites of Japanese culture. Ise Jingu Ise Jingu If you only visit one shrine, consider Ise Jingu: the home of Shintoism. Actually a collection of over 125 shrines located in the city of Ise in Mie Prefecture (equidistant from both Nagoya and Kyoto), the main focus is on its outer and inner shrines, believed to house Amaterasu, a sun goddess, and the sacred mirror she gave to the first emperor of Japan. If the structures look surprising sturdy for having weathered more than a century, it’s because they’re rebuilt every twenty years (last in 2013) in a bid to preserve the structures’ integrity, adherence to their original design, and as a way to pass down the traditions and significance of this sacred site. Izumo Taisha Izumo Taisha Izumo Taisha, located near the southwest corner of Japan’s crescent-shaped main island of Honshu, acts as the spiritual seat of the nation. It’s considered home to Okuninushi no Okami (roughly translated to mean “the god master of the great land”), mythical creator of Japan and, incidentally, a god associated with good relationships. After passing through the great wooden torii gate at its entrance, visitors to Izumo Taisha can make their way to the shrine’s main building to offer up a prayer not only for themselves but their partner (present- or future-tense) by performing an extra set of ritualistic claps. The shrine also serves an annual meeting point for the country’s most Shinto gods during a one-week period in the tenth lunar month. Itsukushima Shrine Itsukushima Shrine This island shrine off the coast of Hiroshima dates back to the 6th century, and though repeated renovations have slightly changed its original configuration, its unique architecture and careful integration with nature earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The island of Itsukushima (better known as Miyajima) is considered so sacred that commoners were forbidden to set foot on it for a stretch of its history. And no births or deaths have been permitted nearby. In fact, its dock-like structures were designed to allow the faithful to visit without setting their sullied feet on the island itself. Itsukushima’s magnificent floating torii gate has been heavily photographed, and has helped to foster a natural interest of and appreciation for the unique aesthetic properties of Shintoism. Fushimi Inari Fushimi Inari Southern Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari is best known for a pair of stone pathways capped with thousands of brilliant vermillion torii gates, where many a gobsmacked tourist has snapped a holiday selfie (or ten). The gates get their distinct colour from a combination of crimson-coloured earth and mercury, an ancient wood-preserving mixture thought to protect against evil. Fushimi Inari’s main shrine is devoted to Inari, one of Shinto’s main gods and whose chief associations include rice, sake, and foxes. You’ll find plenty of the latter in statue-form as you make about 4km hike to Mount Inari’s summit, which offers beautiful views and a shrine whose fortunes are known for their surprising accuracy. During your ascent, stave off your hunger will a hot bowl of kitsune (fox) udon, served in homage to Inari’s celestial messengers. Usa Shrine Usa Shrine Pacifists beware: Usa Shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war. More specifically, Usa-jingu is believed to be the first shrine in Japan in which Hachiman, the god of military power, was enshrined. It has therefore enjoyed the close protection of the Imperial family, and though around 40,000 other shrines have since been dedicated to the militant deity, Usa remains the most important.

Heading to Usa is a trip in itself: located in in the northeastern corner of Ōita Prefecture near the Kunisaki Peninsula, Usa is the southernmost shrine on our list, and reachable via around an hourly bus from Usa Station. Regardless of your spiritual inclinations, visiting some of Japan’s best-known shrines offers an unparalleled window into national culture, tradition, and breathtaking craftsmanship. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Their menu consists of only a few items: Chicken fingers, hot ramen, cold ramen, and Korean-style rice balls. Their ramen is topped with half an egg, pork belly, and some kimchi. In the summer, many guests prefer cold noodles as a way of escaping the heat. Their menu is very affordable, with dishes ranging from 400-700 yen. You can also enjoy a set meal for just a little extra. This restaurant has become popular with thrifty college students in the area before a night out on the town. Fukinoto Ryokan Fukinoto Ryokan If you plan on visiting the Fukiji Shrine, the oldest wooden structure in Kyushu, be sure to stop by the Fukinoto Ryokan to enjoy some soba noodles prepared by the inn. This Japanese inn is run by the family of the priest of the Fukiji Shrine. They prepare several different types of meals that include a lot of sides starting at 1,080 yen. The sets all include rice, freshly prepared vegetables, and some of the inn’s famous soba noodles. They mostly offer vegetarian options, but there are some meat dishes for a little bit more money. Jigokumushi Kobo Jigokumushi Kobo Beppu is famous for its hot springs, and Jigokumushi Kobo takes full advantage of this with their unique dining experience. This restaurant lets you steam your own food using steam from the local onsen. You can rent a cooking area for 500 yen for 30 minutes, and then you can buy the items you want to steam. You can choose from things like seafood, fish, meat, vegetables, and eggs. It’s a sweaty endeavor, to be sure, but that’s what an onsen is all about. After eating, you can also enjoy their onsen footbath for free. Jigokumushi Kobo Steaming is a traditional cooking method in the Beppu region, and Jigokumushi literally translates to “hell steaming.” You can find all sorts of dishes prepared using this ancient cooking method, from seafood to pudding. Onie no Sato Onie no Sato Near Tennenji Shrine in Bungotakada, the Onie no Sato History Museum features interesting exhibits on the demons of Buddhist tradition. Along with their museum exhibits, they also have a dining area where they serve soba with tofu, seaweed, corn, dumplings, and more. There are other dishes available as well, but their soba is worth trying if you’re in the area. Tenshinken Tenshinken Right next to Jissoji Central Park in Beppu, this restaurant serves up Oita Prefecture’s most famous dish, toriten. These would normally be known as “chicken fingers” in the West, but in Japan, the chicken is cooked using a tempura batter, so it’s really a different flavor. While Tenshinken specializes in toriten, they also serve dishes like cold soba noodles, gyoza dumplings, and Japanese curry. This quaint restaurant is quite affordable, at around 1,000 yen per person, and has become known as one of the most delicious restaurants in the area. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

ランチ時でもそこまでの混雑ではなく座れるのですが、なにしろスタッフ不足ですね。提供まで１０分-２０分はかかります。品切れのものもあるので注意。娘は肉巻きおにぎりとポテト、私はとり天定食を食べました。いずれも可もなく不可もなくですが肉巻きおにぎりはチーズが入っているので乳製品アレルギーの方はご注意。ビールはたっぷりで￥５００これは嬉しい。

Beautiful amazingly preserved temple, well not entirely - there are spots on the walls with graffiti made by local kids who used it as their playground in the 1950s but it makes it all the more...
โออิตะพื้นที่หลัก
ถ้าจะไปเที่ยวโออิตะทั้งที ก็ต้องไปแช่น้ำยาวๆ ที่โรงอาบน้ำในเบปปุ โออิตะเป็นจังหวัดที่มีภูเขาและชายฝั่งมากมาย และโด่งดังในด้านการมีออนเซ็นมากกว่าจังหวัดอื่นๆ ในญี่ปุ่น ซึ่งส่วนใหญ่จะตั้งอยู่ในเมืองเบปปุที่อยู่ทางชายฝั่งตะวันตกของเกาะคิวชู ซึ่งมีจุดสังเกตเป็นกลิ่นฉุนจากกำมะถันและกลุ่มก้อนไอน้ำที่ผุดขึ้นมาบริเวณไหล่เขา ห่างออกไปจากน้ำพุร้อนของเบปปุคือภูเขา น้ำตก และวัดต่างๆ ดังนั้นอย่าลังเลที่จะออกสำรวจโออิตะต่อไปอีกสักหน่อย
