a.k.a. Arashiyama Monkii Paku (so we can call it the monkey park) is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. opened seven days a week
General cost is: 520 yen. It says there's a discount for senior and high school students, but I'm not sure if that will apply to us since we're American. I've already gotten a map from Abe-sensei that I gave to Ms.Valentine to look over. I can't remember the exact cost of the train ticket from our hotel to Arashiyama (it was on the map). Ms. Valentine, if you could be so kind to post that information that Abe-sensei put the map I'd be much obliged. : )
the exact address: 8 Gennrokuyamacho | Iwtatayama, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan or in
Japanese Japan, 京都府京都市 西京区嵐山元録山町8 (嵐山モンキーパーク). Just type it on google maps. : )
I really hope we can fit this in.

this person gives great useful information about the monkey park, AND a description of a delicious udon shop in Arashiyama. Dinner? It looks so good. If we do visit the monkey park, after a day feeding animals, we could totally go to this udon shop for dinner. : ) ah, the wonders of the internet!
please tell me what you think!
