Week 16: Iwatayama Monkey Park P-day/arashiama koen, Kyoto
Transfers already happened, and I'm still in Sekime. I bought a guitar, so I can wind down in the evenings. Our ward mission leader is Korean, so Deschamps 長老 and I are learning Korean for fun on P-days. Today we're going to a monkey park.....
Iwatayama Monkey Park (Japanese: 嵐山モンキーパーク, Arashiyama Monkī Pāku) is a commercial park located in Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan. The park is on Mt Arashiyama, on the same side of the Oi River as the train station. It is inhabited by a troop of over 170 Japanese macaque monkeys. The animals are wild but can be fed food purchased at the site.
