Perched on the slopes of Mount Iwatayama in Kyoto's scenic Arashiyama district, this nature park is home to a free-roaming troop of over 100 wild Japanese macaques. A pleasant 20-minute uphill hike through wooded paths leads visitors to the summit plateau. Here, guests can observe monkeys playing in their natural habitat, hand-feed them fruit from inside an enclosed rest hut, and take in panoramic views of Kyoto and the Oi River.
Highlights
