The taxi service will take you direct to the start of the enchanted forest trail that leads to the monkeys
The Monkey Onsen is a great side trip to do on a lay day in Hakuba. There are organised tours available however it is quite easy to arrange for yourself and a lot cheaper. We will drop you off at the bus station in the morning for a trip into Nagano. There is a train to Yudanaka on the opposite side of the station. If you get a little disorientated you can talk to the people at the information center. If you purchase the cheapest ticket you can use the fare adjustment machine at the other end. Once you get to Yudanaka you will see the taxi service which will take you to the trail that leads to the snow monkeys. Come and have a chat to me at the hotel for some extra tips.
