There is a bit of a hike up to the actual feeding area. Also there's an amazing view of Kyoto at the top

A good 20 minute hike up to the top for some great views of Kyoto and lots of monkeys . Be warned, don't bring or show off food or the monkeys will try to take it

Prepare for a hike and stunning views at the top of your climb . Be mindful of the camera rules. The monkeys walk alongside you and are very fun to watch - especially the youngest ones.

It’s a bit of a hike to the top but a beautiful walk and worth it when you get to the top! Spend a dollar to feed the monkeys !

Absolutely worth the hike . To find it: when you go across the bridge just turn left at the end. 100 yens for bags to feed the monkeys so keep some spare money.

The hike was not great it takes about 20 min but there are benches along the way. Once you get to the top you are met with an amazing view and some pretty amazing animals.

If you love adorable monkeys , and feeding them it's a must-do. They hike up is long but worth it!

It's about a 20 minute hike up stairs to the park . Lots of monkeys . You can buy snacks to feed them for $100. At 16:30, they do a mass feeding so all the monkeys run around

Go early in the day and/or when the weather is a bit cooler — the hike to the park is about 20 minutes or so, and definitely feels nicer when it's not so hot. Spring for the monkey food.

A fun morning out with great views from the top. Wear decent footwear for the hike and don't go on a hot day. Don't follow Google maps instructions either!

A bit of a hike up but so worth it. See monkeys just hanging out and feed them apples and peanuts !

Arrived at 16:00 and after climbing up for ~15 mins had plenty of time to enjoy the views and monkeys . The entry closes at 16:30 and you can stay up there until ~17:00 or so

Beautiful walk through the forest to get to a very close encounter with lots of monkeys . It is worth the very steep climb . There were lots of baby monkeys (born April to July)

Be prepared for a steep climb to the top. Sweated bricks during the summer. The baby monkeys are adorable. Fun to watch the monkeys laze around or play with each other.

Monkeys are funny and harmless, but do not bring any food or get near them. It’s also kind oh hard to get there: a 25 minute walk up the mountain .

a must visit!! wear sneakers cuz it's a hike

Don't follow Google maps! The entry is near the bridge . There is a 20m hike up the mountain . There's a great view (and monkeys ) once you get there!

You can buy banana slices or apples for 100 yen to feed the monkeys , after you climb a mountain to get there.

Love it! Monkeys everywhere. Lots of fun but be ready for a long hike up. Worth it though!

A bit of a climb to get there but definitely worth the visit

Just for the pathway though the area is a must see.. At the end of your climb , monkeys and an amazing Kyoto view welcomes you.

Arashiyama Monkey Park in Iwatayama is a public facility with 120 Japanese monkeys living in a fun environment. A great place for a stroll.

The monkeys ! If you love animals, you will be happy here.

So cute !! You get to feed them too. The trek up is a walk but you can chill at the top for as long as you like.

The hike up the mountain is lengthy but once you reached the top. To see and interact with the monkeys is really amazing.

After the ticket booth , you'll climb about 150m until you reach the peak. Don't stare into monkey 's eyes.

Behave monkeys . View on top is amazing. 20min tiring hike . Dont go on summer

Bit of a hike to get to, but amazing views of Kyoto and fun monkeys !

A bit of a hike up many stairs. Great views of Kyoto. The Monkeys stay near the top. Buy fruit inside to feed them

There are various signs around the area warning you not to look at the monkeys in the eyes. May make them nervous and aggressive.

Pay attention to the guards in the area, they'll help you identify the monkeys friendly enough to take selfies with

Totally worth the trip and much less crowded than other tourist destinations. Buy some bags of food to feed the baby monkeys .

The view and hike are wonderful, even if you don't like the monkeys . I found watching the babies play worth it, though.

All of the monkeys are at the top of the hill (not really on the path to the top)

100¥ u can feed peanuts or apples to the monkeys . Watch out for the big fat greedy guys!

Wild boar sighting is also available.

Long way to the top, but totally worth it

Spectacular backdrop for your monkey capturing moments.

Was fun but it takes way more than 20 min to hike to the top. Bring good shoes .

It's quite an uphill hike to get there, and can be muddy so wear appropriate shoes .

Monkeys literally everywhere. It was even more than my wildest dreams

This is close to the hankyu station. I would recommend coming here before crossing the bridge for the bamboo grove

Watch out for the one eye monkey ... F that guy!

I kind of didn't want to love it. But I did. Whats not to like about monkeys running amok all around you?

Be ready for a 20 min hike up a steep hill ! You get to see so many monkeys just hanging out!

It’s a big hike . I didn’t make it to the top rested halfway up. Children took pictures of the monkeys .

Was very cute . One thing thou: after you buy the ticket get ready for a long climb up

A must-see!!! Baby monkeys !

Needing a break from the rest of the ????

Nice uphill hike great views good for kids
