高崎山自然動物園おさる館

Shame the monkeys decided to take a day off. But the aquarium was fantastic just over the bridge.

Nice place to visit as a tourist

I went to the Takasakiyama Natural Zoo Monkey Hall (free admission), which is adjacent to the aquarium called "Umitamago" along National Route 10 (Betsuo Road) in Oita City. If you cross National Route 10, you will reach the Takasakiyama Natural Zoo, where you can actually observe wild monkeys up close. This "Monkey Hall" is a compilation of about 70 years of observations of monkeys at the Takasakiyama Natural Zoo, and it was very interesting. In particular, the following topics were exhibited. It was wonderful♪ ・Nature of Mt. Takasaki ・History of Mt. Takasaki ・Status at the time of opening ・History of Takasakiyama Natural Zoo ・Flow range of groups A to C ・Physical characteristics of monkeys ・Monkey blood type ・Life of a monkey ・Changes in monkey population ・Introduction of the order of each group ・History of each group ・History of boss monkeys of each group ・Job details at Takasakiyama Natural Zoo

It's easy to pass by all but the first floor, which has a souvenir corner, but there's also a kids' room and a museum, so there's a lot to see. There's also a dining space with a nice view, so it might be nice to eat your lunch here.
