Mt. Takasaki
A 628-meter-high mountain facing Beppu Bay is located on the border between Oita City and Beppu City. Known as a habitat for monkeys since ancient times, and feeding the monkeys was found to prevent them from damaging the crops of nearby farms. In 1953 the Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden was opened on the mountain, and today some 1,200 monkeys live on the mountain, and it is a popular destination to see monkeys living in an almost completely natural state.
