Kyoto Arashiyama Full Enjoyment Half-day Tour

The Kyoto Arashiyama area is quite well known for its scenic Bamboo Forest, but it has many more hidden gems. Among them, Monkey Park is one of the must-visit places. It started nearly 70 years ago. Around 120 wild monkeys visit the park in daytime and go back deep inside the mountains at night. Their staple foods are nuts and seeds picked by themselves, but they also love cut apples fed by people in the park as a snack. So, we can both witness how wild monkeys communicate with each other, and enjoy handing cut apples or peanuts to them. As there are no wild monkeys in North America, Europe, and Oceania, visiting there comes all the more recommended for visitors from those regions. Additionally, the Katsura River's upstream forms a beautiful valley, and looking down at it from an observatory, then stepping down to the river shore and dipping your hand into the stream is quite fun. Please consider joining my tour to enjoy all of the Arashiyama area's attractions.
