Snow Monkey in a Steaming Nagano Hot Spring

A photorealistic winter scene in Yamanouchi, Nagano, Japan: a Japanese macaque snow monkey soaking in a steaming wooden hot spring. Snow lightly falls, dusting the thick fur and red face, while warm steam swirls over the water. The pool is bordered by rocks and a weathered wooden railing; surrounding evergreen pines and snow-covered banks glow under soft, diffused winter light. Distant snow-capped mountains rise behind a misty valley. The moment conveys tranquility and warmth in stark contrast to the cold, with detailed fur textures, water ripples, and crystal-clear snowflakes. Cinematic, high-detail, 8k realism.
