very nice place to visit specially with kids, for 500 en per person you can have and access to a practically free roaming monkey mountain. The park is a steep 15-20 minute walk up the mountain from Togetsukyo Bridge (little tough) and, besides the monkeys, offers very nice views over Kyoto. monkey just go around you like this as if they are cute pets..... pics will describe more

The Monkey Park is a nice place to visit for those who want to add some variety to their Kyoto visit, which is often dominated by temple and shrine visits. As the name suggests, the park is filled with monkeys; Japanese macaques. You can feed the monkeys or just watch them. There is a nice view of Kyoto from the top, as well. It's a lot of fun just watching the monkeys; they can be unpredictable!
Although you can feed them, it's important to remember that the monkeys are still wild. Don't try to pet them. Do not bring bags or purses, because the monkeys may try to take them to see if there is food inside. Also, don't stare into their eyes, because they may become confrontational.
The walk up the mountain to the monkey park is a bit steep, so consider this if you are traveling with someone who may not be able to get to the top.
Entrance is 520 yen.
