Takasaki Wild Monkey Park is located in the base of Mt. Takasaki between Beppu and Oita City. This area is a popular home of about 1,500 wild Japanese monkeys who live in a forest slope of the Mt. Takasaki.
The park opened in 1952 with the reason to manage the increasingly growth of local monkey population. The park has no cages that's why the monkeys are free to roam around the park.

Japanese monkeys are stronger than what they look and can be sometimes dangerous. However, these monkeys are attracted to food.

Visitors are can get closer to the monkeys when they are feed by the warden, visitors may also watch them run, eat, play with each other.
