Ticket Validity : Ticket is valid only on the departure date.The Highlight
【Observe wild monkeys in a more natural environment!】 Unlike zoos with strict enclosures, at Takasakiyama, wild Japanese macaques roam freely throughout the mountain. You can observe their ecology up close and personally witness the dynamics of their social groups and their seasonal behavioral changes in a more realistic way. The immersive experience, as if you've stepped right into their natural habitat, is a major attraction.
【The monkey feeding show is a must-see! 】 The daily "monkey gathering" is a unique and famous event at the Takasakiyama Natural Zoo. It's a spectacular sight to see numerous monkeys coming down from the mountain in response to the zookeeper's distinctive calls! Sometimes, the monkeys exhibit unexpected behaviors, making it an exciting and enjoyable event for both adults and children.
