Visit Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park and enjoy this rare opportunity to observe the interesting lifestyle of Japanese macaque monkeys. Almost 200 monkeys inhabit the area and relax by bathing in the hot spring. Afterwards, we will head to Matsumoto Castle. The castle formerly named “Fukashi” was built over 400 years ago. The six-story black painted wooden keep is the oldest surviving structure in Japan and is a designated national treasure.
