What you can see on the Awajishima Monkey Center live camera

The live camera shows Awaji monkeys and wild Japanese macaques gathering near the feeding area. The number of monkeys and their activity vary with the time, season, and weather. You may see them resting, moving around, and interacting near the feeding area.
On clear days, bright conditions make facial expressions and movement easier to see. On rainy or cloudy days, the stream also helps you check the sky and ground conditions. Viewing the camera before departure can help you choose a good time to visit.
When Awaji monkeys are easier to see
The monkeys’ appearance around the feeding area changes with the season. From winter into spring, they may gather more readily, offering opportunities to see huddling groups and mothers with young. Early summer is the birth season, when visitors may see baby monkeys and family groups.
During hot summer weather, monkeys often rest in the shade. In autumn, they may spend more time in the mountains and can be harder to observe. They are not always visible on camera, so try checking again at another time. Review the weather and rain radar before visiting as well.
Useful for checking rain, heat, and visitor conditions
The camera is useful not only for watching monkeys but also for checking local weather and the general atmosphere. On rainy days, the image can show the sky and wet ground, helping you decide whether to bring an umbrella or rain gear.
In summer, fewer monkeys may appear because they are resting in the shade. When they gather near the feeding area, their movement is easier to see. Families with young children and visitors stopping during an Awaji Island tour may find it helpful to check the stream before departure.
