Fun places to go with children in Kyoto
Recently I took a family to the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum and their children had a wonderful time. I decided to make a list of several places that you can visit and enjoy with your kids in Kyoto
Kyoto Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama (京都 嵐山モンキーパーク いわたやま)
150 Japanese monkeys are in the mountain, where you can see them VERY close and even feed them hand to hand. You can also get the best view of Kyoto.
5 minutes walk from Arashiyama station of both Hankyu railway and Keifuku railway.
