There are not only monkeys but also deer at Awaji Island Monkey Center.Īnd in the feeding area, monkeys and deer are relaxing in one space. When you feed monkeys, it is a rule that people go into cage. Even within your reach, the monkeys are relaxed. If you go up the slope, you can see the shadow of the island of Nushima, which is designated as a Japanese Heritage site, and the Kii Channel on your left.Īt the feeding area, you don’t touch the monkeys directly, but you can really observe them up close. Monkeys come down from the mountain around 9 AM and go back to the mountain around 17:30 in the evening, so it’s better to visit during that time.Įspecially babies born between May and June are about the size of a palm and very cute, so some people come to see them.Īfter paying the admission fee at the reception, let’s go to the feeding area where the monkeys are. The admission fee is 700 yen for adults (Junior high school students and above) and 350 yen for children (4 years or older), so you can observe the monkeys at a reasonable price. Please check the information about the probability of seeing monkeys on the official website.
On the other hand, monkeys sometimes go deep into the mountains and don’t come out from September to November. You can see them in many seasons, but there is a high probability of seeing them from December to August. Therefore, you can’t always meet them like you can at a zoo.
The monkeys living here are not bred but wild. It is located on the south side of Awaji Island and opened in 1967 and has been open for more than 50 years. Awaji Island is a big island in Japan which belongs to Hyogo prefecture.
