    I worked at Jigokudani monkey park for 3 months researching their behaviour, and studied macaques in Japan for a year. I made some friends with guides at the park and others, and apparently monkeys had been spotted in completely different areas of Nagano bathing in peoples private hot springs, super far from the park. No one had them tagged so they weren't sure whether they were monkeys from the park or just random monkeys that had discovered the behaviour on their own, but nonetheless interesting. Japanese macaques do have a lot of interesting cultural behaviours; bathing, food washing, stone handling. Also, if you get the chance to go study in Japan for whatever reason, don't hesitate, it's amazing
