The Mt. Takao Monkey Park and Wildflower Garden is located in the midst of nature on the middle slopes of Mount Takao. The monkey park houses about 90 monkeys that form an orderly society, headed by the boss monkey. You can observe their lively lifestyles up close, including mutual grooming and huddling together for warmth on cold days. The commentary provided by the keepers is also popular.
The adorable baby monkeys born from early April to early August each year are also a must-see.

At the Wild Plant Garden, which is located next to the Monkey Park, you can enjoy wild plants throughout the year on a 2,800-square-meter site. Among the approximately 300 species of wild plants are many rare species, including endangered ones, with mountain wildflowers that grow naturally in the mountains, such as the "Takao Violet," being the main focus. The park has well-maintained walking paths, and there is also a bird-watching house where you can observe wild birds that gather in the forest, making it an ideal place to interact with the rich nature of Mount Takao.

    There are so many Japanese macaques!! The baby monkeys were adorable. I tried to spot the boss monkey, but there were just too many monkeys to tell at a glance.

    At the Monkey Park and Wildflower Garden, I took lots of beautiful photos. They're a great way to remember the trip and how close you can get to nature.

  • Liao Jun

    You can see lots of monkeys here and even try feeding them, which is really fun. There are also some unique flowers and plants, and if you visit in March or April, you'll see even more varieties. I recommend coming here for a walk and to experience it yourself!

    This monkey park is home to over 70 Japanese macaques. It's pretty cool ❤️

    Here at Monkey Mountain, you can watch Japanese macaques up close. For just 100 yen, you can even feed them! The keepers also give interesting talks about how the monkeys live.
