Generally, Japanese macaques are said to be aggressive creatures who value hierarchy, with the boss monkey at the helm. However, the wild Japanese macaques that come to the Awaji Monkey Center are seen to behave in a gentle manner, supporting the weaker monkeys. These monkeys are called "Awaji monkeys," and the center staff talk about the ecology of the monkeys who live in a gentle society. You can learn about the Awaji monkeys, and have a soothing experience by feeding and observing them. This is the only place where you can be surrounded by monkeys and take commemorative photos with the monkeys!
