Cooling off in the summer heat
Visited the Arashiyama Monkey Park in Kyoto back in July. My 20 min walk, from the entrance to the main park, turned into a sweat fest from the heat! Captured a mum with her babies lounging in the shade. So cute! #summerdestinations #japan

Arashiyama Monkey Park

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!

Monkey Park in Kyoto
A very special park in Arashiyama and recommended to do by friends. These monkeys live freely in the park, it is 600yen (for adults) to enter. There is about a 20-30minute hike up to where the park is - so be prepared, some areas are steep. Once you reach the top there are panoramic views of Kyoto, and monkeys roaming freely. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting Arashiyama!

#tripaway took a hike up to the monkey park. The monkey is totally wild and unchained. But very tamed. Super worth the hike! #monkey #monkeyforest #hike #wildanimalpark

I was walking around Arashiyama when it suddenly appeared in my Google Search that there is this Arashiyama Monkey Park. So I went there right away! What spontaneity! Haha! The entrance fee was ¥550, and gosh! I really needed to climb up to Mt. Arashiyama! Well, it wasn't that steep tho, but it was still tiring. Nonetheless, seeing a lot of Japanese Macaque monkeys was all worth the effort.
