Bamboo, Monkeys, Movie Studio Park, and Onsen

Yesterday was our free day. We did a number of things. We went to a monkey preserve where Abby and I were chased by a good sized monkey. We were just walking up the path and it turned around and chased after us with its mouth open. I've decided I don't like monkeys. In getting to the monkey preserve we passed a rather large river. It was strange because it was the first time in a number of days we were in a large open place. We had been in the cities for the entire trip. Most of the day we got around on a quaint trolley system. It was rather cheap and got us from the hostel to the various places. It seemed like something out of an old movie but of course highly efficient like all of Japan's public transportation.
