Monkey Park Iwatayama is a steep twenty-minute climb above the river, and the reward is a troop of wild Japanese macaques plus one of the best views over Kyoto. You feed them from inside a hut while they cling to the wire outside, and staff ask you not to stare them in the eye.
Uncover the hidden gems of Arashiyama! Immerse yourself in the enchanting Bamboo Forest, encounter playful monkeys at the park, and unlock the secrets of this captivating destination.
