The monkeys (8______) Jigokudani used to flee as soon as they saw humans. (9______) those days, some locale tried to exterminate them because they were running amok in fields (10______) their habitat was lost to mountain and forest development schemes. Couldn't there be (11______) way to protect the farms and people's livelihoods, while also protecting (12______) monkeys and their environment? Those who thought this way tried to keep the monkeys from going (13______) the farms by creating a feeding site in Jigokudani far from any human habitation.
かつて地獄谷のサルは、人間を見るとすぐ逃げていました。その頃は山林の開発が進んで住む場所を追われたサルが畑を荒らしたため、殺そうとする動きもあったからです。サルやサルが生きられる環境を保護しつつも、人間の畑や生活を守る方法はないだろうか。そう考えた人たちは人里から離れた地獄谷をえさ場とすることで、サルが畑に行かないようにしました。
At that time Jigokudani was a small resort town (14______) only one old inn and a vigorous hot spring. If its monkeys, its un-spoilt natural habitat and hot springs were turned (15______) tourist attractions, the municipality would reap (16______) economic benefits. This idea, which predated the emergence (17______) ecotourism, kick started the effort to get the monkeys used (18______) humans. With help (19______) the inn, the locals successfully fed the monkeys and five years later (20______) 1964, the park opened.
地獄谷はとても熱い温泉が激しく噴出す、古い温泉旅館が一軒だけある小さな保養地でした。サルや手つかずの自然、温泉を環境資源とすれば、地元にも経済効果があります。このようなエコツーリズムの先取りともいえる発想から、サルの群れを人に慣れさせる作業が始まりました。温泉旅館の協力もあって5年後にえづけに成功し、1964年に公苑がオープンしました。
The monkey bath was created after baby monkeys started playing (21______) the open-air bath of the spa inn – that had been lending its support (22______) the park. Today, the park has open-air baths (23______) the monkeys where many of them bathe (24______) cold days. People visit (25______) droves to take pictures. In this way, photos taken there have won prizes both in and (26______) Japan and created quite a buzz. In recent years this has led to an increase (27______) the number of winter visitors and foreign tourists.
サルの温泉は、公苑を支援してきた温泉旅館の露天風呂に、子ザルが入って遊ぶようになったことから生まれました。今では公苑内にサル専用の露天風呂があり、寒い日には多くのサルが浸かっています。たくさんの人が訪れ、撮影します。そのようにして撮られた写真が国内外で賞をとって話題になりました。そのため、近年、冬季の入苑者や外国人観光客が増えています。
Though some might think the park is a winter attraction, it's actually open (28______) the year. It's not only (29______) tourists, but is also an institution for education and research. In the spring, baby monkeys are born one (30______) the other. Their hair is still black and you can witness the charming spectacle of suckling babies cradled (31______) their mother's arms. In the summer, you can see them enthusiastically playing around, independent (32______) their mothers.
冬の観光地と思う人もいるかもしれませんが、年間を通じて運営されています。観光だけでなく教育、研究のための施設でもあります。春には、子ザルが続々と誕生します。子ザルはまだ毛も黒く、母親抱っされておっぱいを飲む愛らしい姿を見せてくれます。夏になると母親から離れて元気に遊びまわる姿が見られます。
As records (33______) the name and mother each and every monkey covering the past 50 years have been kept (34______) the park, university researchers visit for fieldwork from within and (35______) Japan. The park is also used by elementary and junior high school students (36______) outdoor classes. To get to the par, it's a two-kilometer half-hour walk (37______) a mountain trail from the dedicated Monkey Park parking lot. Hiking clothes will therefore be necessary and you'll need to prepare for cold temperatures (38______) wintertime.
公苑では50年にわたってサル一匹一匹の名前や母子関係が記録されているらめ、国内外の大学から研究者が訪れ、フィールドワークが行われています。小中学生の野外学習にも役立てられています。公苑へ行くには、上林温泉の野猿公苑専用駐車場から山道を約2キロ、約30分歩きます。ハイキングの服装、特に冬は防寒対策が必要です。
