This zoo, nestled in the lush nature of Nomi City, is designed to be a place where visitors can "have fun, play, and learn." A major highlight is the Crested Ibis (Toki) area, where you can observe these internationally protected birds living in a recreated satoyama environment. From white tigers to red pandas, animals live in settings that mimic their natural habitats. It is an ideal spot for families to relax while learning about Japan's wildlife conservation efforts.
