Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama Kyoto Japan 7/19/2018. We begin our adventure today riding in a taxi going to Arashiyama Monkey Park. The driver drops us off at the bottom of the Monkey Park trail. We pay to go in Austin is 250 yen, Cheryl and I are 550 yen each. It is 100 degrees, humid and there’s no breeze. They say the walk up to the top will take 20 mins. It is a pretty steady incline so since we are out of shape it takes us longer than 20 mins. We make our way up the trail making sure to take advantage of rest stops along the way. We get to the top and are able to walk around with the monkey with caution and rules to follow. To feed the monkeys we had to go inside the feeding house, where you feed the monkeys through a fence. I’m sure this is to protect people from a monkey acting out and so they are not climbing all over you. There is also a beautiful view over the city from there. This was a fun experience to be around the monkeys, feeding them some snacks, and just watching their behaviors and personalities. We end our walk at the bottom of the trail sitting, drinking water and trying to rest in the 100 degree humid weather. It’s really cool they have those large fans at certain rest areas. Enjoy!
