Arashiyama Monkey Park

#thingstodo One of the better things to do at Arashiyama and it is less crowded than the Bamboo forest. It is quite a hike uphill to the Monkey Park but I saw an elderly couple walking up slowly so you should be able to do so as well. The hike up is well worth the time and effort. You get a breathtaking view at the top, and the monkeys are fun to watch. I was surprised we could get so close to the monkeys. They are quite used to having people around, and will leave you alone as long as you obey the rules posted all over the park. You can buy peanuts to feed them. A fun place!
