PS: It's free!
This park has a trail that takes you across the history Togetsukyo Bridge, right arcoss from the Katsuna River in Arashiyama. We'd climb a steep hill to get to the top where a troop of monkeys will be waiting for us! The hike is approximentaely 30-45 mintutes. Once we get there, we could walk around and enjoy the beautiful view of Arashiyama. They also allow the hikers to feed the monkeys fruits and nuts.
