Yokohama Zoo Visit Tokyo Japan City Restaurant Park Summer Museum

Zoorasia

Zoorasia is one of Japan's newest, largest and best maintained zoos. Zoorasia was established in 1999, and has since been operating under the themes of "Symbiosis of Life" and "Harmony with Nature". The animals, which number some 400 animals and 68 different species, are generally kept in spacious areas that mimic their natural habitat to a degree that is not usually seen in Japanese zoos.

The animal exhibitions at Zoorasia are spread out among seven ecological areas: Asian Tropical Forest, Subarctic Forest, Oceanian Grassland, Central Asian Highland, Japanese Countryside, Amazon Jungle and African Tropical Rainforest. Among the zoo's highlights are the elephants, polar bears, black bears, okapi and proboscis monkeys. There are also a few restaurants and cafes, as well as nature trails and recreation areas for kids.

In addition to Zoorasia's animal exhibits, visitors can also enjoy hiking on nature trails and dining at several full-service cafes and restaurants. While parents take a break to enjoy refreshments, kids can have fun at a variety of amusement attractions and recreation areas provided for their pleasure.

Recommended you go in spring to avoid the summer heat, but anytime's a great time to visit.
