Online ticket sales for Yamanouchi’s Jigokudani Yaen-Koen have launched. During the busy January to March period, when the park receives an average of 4,000 visitors a day, queues at the ticket counter have sometimes meant extended waits. The new tickets are valid for a specific date and can be purchased up to three months in advance, and were introduced to reduce waiting times and help maintain suitable conditions for observing the monkeys.
