Aw, so sweet! Lovely furry creature. I've always wanted to see them in the hot springs in Japan. 100 $DEGEN

Good old days… I am glad I saw them twice! 😔🥺

Did you go in the hot spring with them? Or maybe that's not so safe?

I did. The only way to do so is to book a ryokan (Japanese hotel) that’s next to the monkeys. Monkeys go there at night and morning to warm up and you can swim/soak together. I have some videos 😏

Yeah, getting some shots after a scratch or a bite in a rural Japan is not a good plan :)

And I understand why he did that (looking away) as I saw in another video that you aren't supposed to look them in the eye. That makes sense as they will take that as an aggressive stance and definitely you don't want a macaque male attacking you. Not sure if the females are less aggressive.

Oh how interesting! I found this video that shows someone in the spring with a monkey and the reactions between the two are so hilarious:
