It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top. At the very beginning, there are 120 steps. Please climb slowly. After that, it becomes a gentle uphill slope. From the rest area at an altitude of 160m, you can see the whole of Kyoto city. If the weather is good, you can even see Kyoto Tower! Try to find it. Food is sold for 100 yen per bag! You can feed the monkeys from inside the rest area. You cannot feed them directly because the monkeys may grab your fingers. Please place the food on the feeding shelf. Also, you can only feed them from inside the rest area. You cannot feed them outside the rest area. *You cannot bring food into the rest area.
