Japan's 'Snow Monkey' Park to Limit Visitors

Jigokudani Yaen-Koen is a park in Japan with hot springs where monkeys live.

On cold winter days, many monkeys soak in the hot springs for hours.

The park is known as a 'monkey paradise' and is the only place to see this.

Many tourists, mostly not from Japan, visit the park, with 3,000 to 4,000 coming each day.

There are long lines to get in, so the park will sell tickets online to help.

Tourists take photos of the monkeys in the hot springs at Jigokudani Monkey Park.

The park will start selling tickets online in August and may limit visitors to 2,000 a day.

As more tourists come, there are more problems like people trying to feed or touch the monkeys.

Some people even try to bathe with the monkeys, which is not allowed.

In 2025, 42.7 million tourists visited Japan, which is a record.

Some places in Japan, like Kyoto, are very crowded and tourists are not always respectful.

A cherry blossom festival was cancelled because it was too crowded and noisy.

The city had problems with traffic, litter, and people trespassing on private property.
