Now this looks like pure relaxation. I will have to try this someday....A Japanese snow monkey relaxes in a hot spring in the Jigokudani valley in northern Nagano Prefecture in Japan Friday, Feb 10, 2012. The macaques descend from the forests to the warm waters of the hot springs in the mornings, and return to the security of the forests in the evenings.

Hokkaido is known for its many Hot spring Onsen..(roten-buro) where you can sit in hot water, among the snow and ice.

You can almost hear him/her (with a Japanese snow monkey, I'm not sure which it is) saying "Ahhhhhhhhh."
