You get an idea for the immense amounts of monkeys here when it was feeding time. They threw some seeds on the ground and they all came running...
They were quite cute though. Before feeding time, it was grooming time, and they were all paired up picking bugs off each other...
These wild monkeys made their way out of the forest and on to the bridge for a photo opportunity.
There are two different buses that can take you to Takasakiyama from Beppu. Just ask at the Information center about which buses, and the time schedule. Buses seemed to come about twice an hour and because of the short distance, it was fairly cheap to get there. Once you're there, save yourself the 100 yen and walk up to the monkey area. It's only about a 5 minute walk, albeit up hill. We chose to get exercise rather than take the monkey monorail to the top. Also, ask at the information center about a coupon to get in, we got 20% off the entrance fee with that coupon.
