 Jigoku dani Onsen is one of famous hot springs in Japan. This hot springs is located in Nagano Prefecture. You can go to Nagano Prefecture by bullet train from Tokyo. By the way, Jigoku dani means "Valley of Hell".  The reason why the hot springs called "Jigoku dani" is that the hot springs is a geyser.

 This hot springs is also one of rare hot springs. Because, people do not only enjoy taking the hot springs but also monkey enjoy the hot springs in winter season. In this area, the degree became -10 in winter season. Therefore, some monkey take a hot springs to be hot for their body.
