Observe lively animals in a park rich in nature

Our spacious zoo, surrounded by abundant nature, is home to a vibrant array of animals!

In 2025, a baby forest elephant was born to one of only three elephant species in the world (and the only one in Japan) – the African forest elephant. This was followed by the birth of a cheetah cub in June 2026. In addition, we have opened new giraffe and zebra exhibits.

We also host numerous events where you can learn about animals in a fun way.
