The traditional architecture, the picturesque, very narrow Shibu Onsen spa street, local people in kimono or guests strolling down the street in yukata (light robes) helps create a special, relaxing atmosphere. Step back in Japanese history and enjoy this memorable experience! We hope you will have a pleasant, relaxing stay in Kokuya hotel.
Jigokudani Yaenkoen - Monkey park
only one place in the World where monkeys take hot bath !!! It is located in mountain
area just 10min by car from Kokuya hotel. It is harsh environment where snow covers
the ground during the winter season. People named the area Jigokudani
(Hell’s Valley) because the steep cliffs and hot water, bursting from the earth’s
surface, resembled hell. However, this place is paradise for monkeys, 200 of monkeys
inhabit the area at present.
