Mt Takao Monkey Park & Wildflower Garden — Attraction in Tokyo

This place was incredibly terrible. The monkey enclosure is alarmingly small, housing far too many monkeys in such a confined space. The animals appeared extremely bored, lacking any form of enrichment or stimulation. Shockingly, the only tree in the enclosure was inaccessible to them, surrounded by barbed wire and fences.

From the moment you enter, you are overwhelmed by the intense smell of urine and feces. I had expected a park where monkeys were treated well and allowed to roam freely, but what I found was one of the saddest sights I have ever seen.

I strongly advise against visiting this park or supporting this organization...

I visited the monkey park on Mount Takao and paid 1,000 yen for two people. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The “park” is really just a small enclosure, maybe around 200-400 square meter or a bit larger, with about 50 monkeys inside. There is like one tree no bushes or grass — just a bare, cramped space. The monkeys looked sad and the whole environment felt uncomfortable and unpleasant to witness. Overall, it was a very disheartening experience, and I can only give it one star...

An interesting Monkey park along the route to the summit of Mt Takao. This park showcase the whole generation of monkeys. They look happy and active playing with each other.

There’s a flower garden as well. It is worth it to walk around when the flowers have bloomed.

Overall the park is small and you’d probably spend at most 30mins to 1 hour exploring this place. There is an entrance charge of 500 yen per person so I think it is...
