Joshua Small is a First Year JET currently living in Ikaruga-cho, Nara-ken and has been chronicling his experience on his blog Snorlax87.
Last Saturday, I joined some Nara and Kyoto JETs in climbing Arashiyama, or as I call it, Monkey Mountain.
This mountain in Kyoto is famous for playing host to many feral Macaques. The hike up the mountain was pretty easy. There were only a few hazards. Because it was a bit misty, the rock steps and ramps were a little slippery. We cautiously made our way up Arashiyama.
As we climbed, we came across many signs warning us of the dangers of Monkey Mountain:
1. Do not feed the monkeys
2. Do not look the monkeys in the eyes
3. Do not touch the monkeys
Yeah…lots of do not’s…
