Review & FAQ:
Travelers who want to experience something out of the ordinary can visit Monkey Park Iwatayama on the outskirts of Kyoto. A hike up Mt. Arashiyama leads visitors from the entrance to the habitat where they can walk among more than 100 wild Japanese macaque, or snow monkeys. Visitors can purchase food at the park and feed the monkeys by hand or watch them interact with the staff. In addition to the monkeys, guests will enjoy the spectacular view of the city from the top of the mountain. The park opens daily at 9 a.m. and is easily accessible by train and bus.
