Snow Monkey Park, Nagano — a.k.a. “Monkeys On Vacation Day.”

Apparently the famous hot-spring monkeys show up when they feel like it.
Today? They absolutely did not feel like it.

While we were climbing, sweating, slipping, freezing, and enthusiastically preparing our cameras…
The monkeys said:
“Nope. We’re off today. Please check back tomorrow.”

So instead, we enjoyed the hot springs metaphorically and took pictures of… ourselves.
(Because someone had to use the camera!)

I’ll attach a few photos from last year — back when the monkeys actually honored their appointment schedule.

Conclusion:
10/10 experience.
0/10 monkeys.
Would try again. 🐒❄️😂

And a special thank you to my beautiful travel buddies, who stoically accepted the complete absence of monkeys and still posed like absolute champions.
If the monkeys won’t model for us — we will!!!❤️😂

I’ve been in Japan for 7 years.
It’s not that long, but every time life gets heavy, my heart quietly whispers the same thing —
I just want to go home.
To be with my family, my friends, the people who make everything feel lighter without even trying.

But then I remember…
This version of me was built here.
The courage, the independence, the lessons, the small victories no one sees —
they all came from choosing a life far away from everything familiar.

Living abroad is beautiful, but it’s also lonely in ways you can’t explain.
Some days you feel grateful.
Some days you feel lost.
And both can be true.

Yet every time I step outside and see the mountains, the quiet backstreets, the first snowfall, the trains humming through the city…
I’m reminded of why I stayed.
Why I fought for this chapter.
Why this country became a part of me.

I’m learning that it’s okay to miss home
and still build a life somewhere else.
It’s okay to want to escape
and still choose to stay.

And maybe that’s the real story —
finding pieces of “home” in a place that was once foreign,
and learning to love Japan again and again,
even through the chaos of everyday life.
