#attraction/park The [Iwatayama Monkey Park](http://www.monkeypark.jp) is a park populated by wild monkeys in [[Kyōto (京都市)]]. It is accessible via [[Transit/Arashiyama (嵐山)|Arashiyama (嵐山)]]. The park is situated on top of Arashiyama (嵐山), which translates to Storm Mountain. To access the park, it's about a 20-30 minute walk up the mountain. ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_5393.png]] On top of the mountain, there are a bunch of wild monkeys. They also have a hut where you can buy food and feed the monkeys through a wire fence. (The fence is there because the monkeys can get aggressive and bite if you do things to bother them, such as making eye contact.) ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9703.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9693.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9690.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_5409.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9685.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9681.png]] Aside from the monkeys, this park also offers beautiful panorama views of [[Kyōto (京都市)]]. ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_9702.png]] ![[arashiyama monkey park IMG_5404.png]]
