- Facility Introduction -

Yokohama Zoological Gardens Zoorasia is one of the largest zoos in Japan,
dedicated to the care, exhibition, and breeding of wildlife from around the
world. We are also actively involved in the rehabilitation of endangered
species and related research.

• Asian Tropical Forest
  
  The tropical rainforest is a treasure trove of biodiversity. We have recreated
  the towering trees that reach through the lush greenery. You will be welcomed
  by numerous rare species native to Asia, starting with Asian elephants,
  followed by Bornean orangutans, Sumatran tigers, and more.

  
  

• Subarctic Forest
  
  In this area of continuous coniferous forests, you will find exhibits modeled
  after mountainous regions and the Arctic in summer. Highlights include
  watching golden takins navigating steep rocky terrain and observing polar
  bears swimming through the glass.

  
  

• Oceanian Grassland
  
  This region, characterized by its unique landscape shaped by alternating dry
  and rainy seasons, is symbolized by large rocky outcrops and tall, resilient
  eucalyptus trees. Why not enjoy a relaxing meal at the 'Aussie Hill'
  restaurant while watching the laid-back red kangaroos?

  
  

• Central Asian Highlands
  
  Central Asia, largely comprised of Russia, China, and Mongolia, is home to
  some of the world's rarest animals. Here, you can meet species like dholes and
  proboscis monkeys, which are not kept in any other zoo in Japan.

  
  

• Japanese Countryside
  
  'Satoyama' refers to mountain forests shaped by human interaction. Japan
  boasts some of the world's highest biodiversity, and this area plays a key
  role in that. It is home to Japanese raccoon dogs and Japanese macaques, which
  have long been familiar to the Japanese people, as well as the Tsushima
  leopard cat, a species endemic to Japan.

  
  

• Amazon Jungle
  
  The Amazon River crossing the continent and the vast forests of its basin
  create a landscape of creeping roots and swamps. Animals that have evolved to
  suit this environment, such as bush dogs running through the jungle and the
  spectacled bear—the only bear species on the South American continent—live
  here. The 'Waku Waku Hiroba' (Excitement Plaza) with its Okapi slide is also
  very popular with children.

  
  

• African Tropical Rainforest
  
  This zone recreates the Congo River basin in central Africa, where animals
  like the okapi, which have adapted to this habitat, reside. You can get a feel
  for following in the footsteps of researchers, with features like an
  explorer's campsite and the 'Chimpanzee Forest,' which mimics a chimpanzee
  nature reserve.

  
  

• African Savanna
  
  We have recreated the iconic savanna landscape, including vast grasslands, as
  well as open woodlands, wetlands, rocky areas, and peripheral environments.
  Through mixed-species exhibits of carnivores and herbivores, you can observe
  the social dynamics of the animals. You can also get up close to the animals
  during our bird shows.

  
  

• Wanpaku Forest
  
  At the 'Paka Paka Hiroba,' feeding ponies and pony riding experiences are
  popular among small children. We also recommend the 'Nature Experience
  Forest,' where you can enjoy seasonal flowers and wild birds. At the 'Koro
  Koro Hiroba,' you can enjoy a picnic-style lunch.
