点评:I went here when I was a kid in the early 2000s, and today I came back with my adult siblings and spent a nostalgic 45 minutes there. It costs only 300 yen per person to enter.
If you’re looking for a multi-million dollar facility, this place is not for you. This is a small, no frills, aging facility. If you are saddened by zoos, this place is not for you. However, if you’re looking for a mellow little stroll through a botanical garden, dip your feet in hot spring water, lock eyes with monkeys that you can toss food to, this is a nice place to spend a good 45 minutes exploring, right next to the ocean. Great for little kids as well. Lots of space to run around.
The entry fee is 300 yen, and if you want a little bag of food for the monkeys, it’s 100 yen per bag. One bag is plenty. Some of the monkeys are very good at catching and it’s impressive to watch. The monkeys will make it clear when they want you to toss them food, as they'll stare at you and sometimes clap to get your attention. Monkeys like the Japanese Macaque have a strict social hierarchy, and you'll observe that some monkeys won't attempt to grab food if a more senior / senpai monkey is near (monkeys higher up in the caste system get first access to food), so some monkeys are noticeably more plump than others.
There’s a hidden little kids car area behind the botanical garden, past the bug room. Small kids and parents can ride little cars around a small lot.
Interacting with the monkeys was my favorite part. Alopecia is pretty common with Japanese macaques so don’t be alarmed that some have thinning hair. There's also a bug area with both real bugs, and bugs that were preserved (there was a sign in Japanese that explained this).
If you’re a plant person, the garden is really impressive and well taken care of.
If you have little kids, for 300 yen per person, it’s a great way to spend an hour.
翻译:2000 年代初,我还是个孩子的时候来过这里,今天我和成年的兄弟姐妹们一起回来,在那里度过了 45 分钟的怀旧时光。入场费每人仅需 300 日元。
如果您正在寻找一个价值数百万美元的设施,那么这个地方不适合您。这是一个小型、没有装饰、老旧的设施。如果您对动物园感到难过,那么这个地方不适合您。但是,如果您想在植物园中悠闲地漫步,将脚浸入温泉水中,与可以扔食物的猴子对视,这是一个不错的花 45 分钟探索的好地方,就在海边。也非常适合小孩子。有很多空间可以四处奔跑。
入场费为 300 日元,如果您想给猴子买一小袋食物,每袋 100 日元。一袋就足够了。有些猴子非常擅长捕捉,看起来令人印象深刻。当猴子想要你扔食物给它们时,它们会明确地表达出来,因为它们会盯着你,有时还会拍手来引起你的注意。像日本猕猴这样的猴子有着严格的社会等级制度,你会观察到,如果附近有更年长/前辈的猴子,一些猴子就不会试图抢食物(种姓制度中地位更高的猴子可以优先获得食物),所以有些猴子明显比其他猴子更胖。
植物园后面有一个隐藏的儿童车区,在虫房的后面。小孩和父母可以骑着小车在一小块地里转悠。
与猴子互动是我最喜欢的部分。脱发在日本猕猴中很常见,所以不要惊慌,有些猴子的头发变薄了。还有一个虫区,里面有真正的虫子和保存下来的虫子(有一个用日语写的标志解释了这一点)。
如果你是一个植物爱好者,这个花园真的令人印象深刻,而且照顾得很好。
如果您有小孩,每人 300 日元就是一个度过一小时的好方式。
