These Japanese monkeys are present all around the season and are the local celebrities of Kamikochi and around Nagano Pref are also called Snow monkey. Tourists enjoy seeing them in their natural habitat while hiking around the area.

Habitat:

These monkeys prefer to live in large troops in mountainous regions that are forested with broad-leafed trees, which provide them with shelter and a degree of isolation. The two most important habitats for these monkeys are warm, temperate broad-leaf evergreen forests and cool, temperate deciduous forests.
