Japanese Snow Monkeys, Jigokudani

[@TaijiBum]

These little critters always make me smile. Thank you for the video.

[@peacenikkie]

Beautiful! They seem so "Zen." Maybe it's the music but they look so sweet-natured and gentle. Love animal videos. This is a winner. Thanks!

[@allgoo19]

Thanks for choosing the right music. Something very heart warming about this video. They act very human like.

[@waverly24]

What a life--it's cold, but you get to chill in a natural hot tub and kick back all day. Very relaxing video, thanks for posting.

[@sunshineinct1995]

0:53 I love the look on his face!!! :D

[@bmp2046]

[@Namip14]

[@case1962]

This is THE BEST. Love the music. THANK YOU!

[@nekomusumedayo]

地獄谷は地元で、小学生の時に遠足で行ったりもしました！ 何年か前に久しぶりに行った時は、本当に外国人の方が多くて、こんな所でも注目されるんだと驚いたものです(*^_^*) スノーモンキーの動画がたくさんあって嬉しくなりました！

[@rich6139]

The babies are so cute !

[@sydddrew]

aw, look at the baby monkey eating his nails at 1:24 sooo cute!

[@Martin_Daniel]

They really love their hot springs! They even boil potatoes to eat sometimes.

[@MissEarlGreyTea]

This video is amazing, I have watched this at least 8 times already and it never fails to impress me. このビデオは素晴らしいですが、私は少なくとも8回、すでにこれを見て、それが私を感動させる失敗することはありません。

[@hanamoyukimo]

この曲は箏曲の「みだれ」（八橋検校作曲）、正しくは「輪舌」といい、「林雪」とも書き、冬の林に雪が降るさまをあらわしたという説もあり、妙に映像と合っていますね。

[@ZeeDork7990]

かわいいとして、彼らはまだ、野生動物であることがあります。しかし、非常に尊敬。 (translation sence most people don't know it) as cute as they may be they are still wild animals. But highly respected

[@EscargoTouChaud]

Beautifully shot, and the music makes it perfect.

[@tangbein]

lol from 2:28 and to the end the monkey that's sitting to the right in the tub, he is all like "hey whats going on? why is everyone leaving, hey?"

[@PINEPUPPY]

Fantastic! i just loved this...wonderful piece of film with perfect soundtrack. Bravo!!

[@nygrafite1]

They got the best of both worlds

[@derschnauzer]

these dudes are straight chillers

[@monkeyman32557]

I love snowmonkeys they are awsome

[@MrJaxyagi]

"Monkey sees, Monkey does...." Locals said originally other outdoor hot-spring bath they use, the monkeys began joining them, but they saw monkeys do poop in the water, so they made the pictured bath area just for the monkeys. They(monkeys) found the warm water soothing, especially in Winter. Folk tales some other part of Japan tells that people found monkeys bathing in hot-spring, so people began to use it......People sees, people does.

[@hanzip]

"i'm cold....i can't move" (enter hot spring) "aaaaaahhh....soo warm....i won't move" LOLS

[@JCamacho1913]

@DeliciosoChino they also secrete an oil from their hair that helps to keep their fur dry like most mammals. Its obviously a very useful tactic for them in such a climate.

[@ChaicharoenTantanate]

You have a wonderful video of cute monkeys. I love it very much. Thank you for sharing :)

[@kakaposhirakawa5681]

温泉入りたい………♨️ にしてもこの猿、温泉が似合いすぎる🐒

[@lilAzngi]

lmao they look so cool when there in the hot spring and there faces are kinda too! red

[@mahotechTube]

北限の猿でいて温泉にもつかるという世にも珍しいお猿さん 日本の宝です

[@xiaofha]

I... I didn't know they were that tiny (1:15) Ha~ I bet it didn't smell too fresh over there, but I would love to see them once.

[@TheEineNull]

あぁ....癒しなんじゃぁ〜 温泉行きたくなってきた。

[@KINGOFDARKNESS48]

[@一-u2h]

温泉気持ちよさそう！

[@MonguinAssassin]

Love of swimming+love of snow= penguin wannabes

[@Backfromthedeadguy]

Man it must be freezing getting out of that water in the middle of winter.

[@familyfunfactory01]

i love watching this video. Awesome!!

[@FiredEmpire]

Hahaha these monkeys are so lovely! The name of the place "Jigoku dani" (地獄谷 written in Kanji character) means "Hell Valley" in English, but I believe they must be thinking like "Oh yeah, this is a heaven on earth!" lol

[@Croyles]

I swear this is taken from the BBC documentary Planet Earth or Life, definitely one of them.

[@jmanwani7]

the guy at 0:53 - 0:57 reminds me of my school principal.. who always closed his eyes while listening to student complaints and never cared to even see us :) sir i found ur brother :))

[@Countrymusicnumber1]

What a peaceful life... I wish I was in there place right now. =P

[@Jur95jur]

Best video ever...

[@EmiMale]

It's pretty neat how they ignore you and do their thing

[@echotropic]

nice video! i like the music too!

[@mr_metal.]

the way they like it, the feelings on that little buddy's face at 0:53... this is so priceless, these guys are just like humans, Christians, you're downvoted with that God-made-human thing.

[@photogeen]

I find this very relaxing

[@MadVikingPriestess]

Who wrote the music to this? gorgeous stuff. Where can I get a copy?

[@Bribasse82]

[@bodipsypha]

Man i'd love to see that!

[@tangbein]

[@THEGREATMAX]

I wonder if their red faces had any influence on Kabuki?

[@2010ShionMos]

what do they eat?

[@monkeytv2651]

so nice videosto see

[@gensuisaito]

So cute

[@wilwad]

I also want to join - natural warm bath

[@emseetje]

It's usually below zero, even near the hot pool ? But maybe you're right..

[@willberain]

almost hypnotic views

[@emseetje]

Makes you wonder, how do they get dry and do not get hypothermia whilst doing so ?

[@LasNoches1000]

@pokemen2222 creo que este instrumento es un shamisen, es un instrumento classico de Japon

[@pokemen2222]

Alguien sabe que tipo de musica es esta

[@angelofdeath275]

This...is too fucking cute. *dead*

[@kingkongzilla34]

emseetje, it's possibly because of their fur, but i'm not sure

[@TaylorPegram]

Anyone know the song

[@Backfromthedeadguy]

That's the life!

[@vistigioful]

This is pretty weird and kinda funny. How did I end up here?

[@jcantstop24]

@HipHopJun I mean i've seen these b4, but thats what brought me here to

[@umakara55]

Dear Mr. Bush. Why do you stay in Japan?

[@rossewidge]

@emseetje Yeah, it's a question I've had for a long time too. Let me know if you find out.

[@SanDiLee21]

@hfcarwash why would they want to????

[@pokemen2222]

@squiverphototrips Que tipo de musica no el nombre porfavor

[@ErkkiPena5]

What is this, Europe?. =D

[@cyanideniko]

They remind me of old men soaking in the hot springs. :)

[@sjo0523]

won't they freeze to death when the water evaporates from their fur? Interesting...

[@Armorith]

chillers ^^

[@katex5861]

[@tamegoro531]

+Kate Sopaheluwakan ４１℃ （４１ degrees）

[@gretskipoo]

[@monkeyman32557]

They must be thinking ( why dont i smile?

[@elijahpeter6271]

[@rdsachs1]

I love these animals theyre so human! i just read an amazing article about them on environmentalgraffiti . com they season their food with salt and play with snowballs!!! Article also had some stunning photographs now that ive seen them I just have to go see them myself!

[@kingkongzilla34]

It almost looks like they're meditating.

[@bibbyqu4806]

Yes, they were the original Japanese as the Chinese came to find the islands of Japan 3000 years ago.

[@Martin_Daniel]

They also use hot water to cook potatoes to eat.

[@PonchoANS7]

These things are so fucking boss.

[@DavidGomezy]

AWWWW 1:35

[@greenius7635]

hi josh

[@Kurplutzo]

@umakara55 I'm sure they're much more peaceful as a whole LOL! Cheers!

[@krishnadechopon6316]

ลิงฟิน !!!!!!

[@jmanwani7]

..the guy at 00:54 looks like my school principal.. who never looks at children when they are their to suggest an improvement instead .. he sits on his cosy chair with eyes closed and gum in his mouth.. guess what princii.. i found ur brother :))

[@DeusMerdaeEst]

No, you can't pet them. The reason that you can get quite close to them is actually because they know people don't pet them. Petting can easily be understood as an act of dominance.

[@wamoification]
