Choshikei Monkey Park

Choshikei Monkey Park (銚子渓お猿の国, Chōshikei Osarunokuni) offers a one-of-a-kind wildlife experience set in a picturesque mountain setting. Located near a scenic ravine along the Shodoshima Skyline road, the park is home to around 500 Japanese macaques that roam freely throughout the area. Visitors can enjoy close-up encounters with the playful monkeys, observing their natural behaviors as they interact with one another and the environment. The park also features a few peacocks, adding to the charm of this vibrant animal sanctuary. For a truly unique experience, visitors can feed the monkeys from a specially designed enclosed room, where humans become the ones on display as the monkeys eagerly interact with them.

In addition to the free-roaming monkeys, the park offers daily entertainment with a monkey show held twice a day, showcasing the macaques' playful antics and training. For those seeking stunning panoramic views, a 15-minute walk from the park leads to an observation deck with sweeping vistas of Shodoshima and the serene Seto Inland Sea. This makes the park an ideal destination for both animal lovers and nature enthusiasts, offering a combination of wildlife observation, entertainment, and breathtaking natural beauty.
