We went to Takasakiyama Natural Zoo, which is located on Takasakiyama, halfway between Oita City and Beppu City. 🐒 This is one of Japan's leading natural zoos, where wild Japanese macaques live and you can observe them up close. 👌 *The distance is really close. 😅 When it's feeding time, the monkeys come from the mountain to the gathering place to get food, and in no time the area is covered with Japanese macaques, so the sight is overwhelming!

#0yentripnovember There are more monkeys than people! There's no other place where you can see so many monkeys so close. It's natural that there are monkeys within a 1m radius. The fences are meaningless. Rather, they are there to keep people out, and the monkeys are free to go wherever they want. You can truly feel the great outdoors and the animals. I really want you to go and see it at least once. The monkeys are more free-spirited than you think, and they're not kept in captivity to be called a zoo. I really want you to go and see it. I want to go again too.

How to get there: Take the Umitamago bus from Beppu Kitahama Tourist Bus Stop #Beppu Attraction: Takasakiyama A great opportunity to see Beppu's famous Japanese macaque up close!
