A Japanese bar is getting a lot of attention from tourists. Why? Because of their famous and popular waiters -- macaque monkeys!
This video (you can see it below) was filmed earlier this summer at the Kayabuki bar in Utsunomiya and it shows the waiter monkey, a 17-year-old macaque named Fuku-chan, fetching beverages and napkins for customers.
Kaoru Otsuka said his first pet monkey, Yacchan, was given to him by an acquaintance several years ago. He said he brought Yacchan into work with him and he realized his little monkey had untapped potential one day when he handed Yacchan a napkin and he carried it out to some customers.
Kaoru said Fuku-chan started emulating Yacchan at a young age and he soon had two monkey waiters.
The bar owner now has several baby monkeys that pose for photos with guests, but aren't yet trained in the fine art of serving.
"They are closer than my family," Kaoru said. "I hold them all day and sleep with them."
"Once I started taking care of them, I couldn't let go. They are just too cute," he said.
