Unfun fact: Monkey Island doesn’t actually have any monkeys. ☹️
“…despite its name, there are actually no monkeys to be found. Legend has it though that a pure white monkey appeared to guide the storm-tossed boat of the famous monk Nichiren to safety on the island in 1253, hence the name.” https://www.japan.travel/en/spot/1565/
