Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden is the only spot in Hokkaido where you can see Japanese macaques bathing in hot springs. During the winter season, around 90 monkeys relax in the abundant hot springs on the monkey mountain. You can also enjoy over 300 species of tropical plants, as well as insects such as beetles and stag beetles. The monkeys' human-like gestures and expressions as they soak in the hot tubs provide a healing space.
