My three winters in Fukui, Japan were dreary and inescapably cold. I dreaded the hail-sleet that fell from the perpetually grey skies, as well as the ominous winter thunderstorms that kept me awake at night. The best way for me to steal a moment of warmth was to take a dip in a relaxing natural hot spring, or onsen, which are plentiful in many parts of the country. It's not just the locals who've discovered the virtues of the onsen for keeping warm- for the Japanese Macaques, or snow monkeys, one particular hot spring deep in the mountains is key to surviving Nagano's harsh winter.
