Located in Inokashira Park, the 120,000-square-meter zoo includes a zoo, a botanical garden, a museum, a sculpture hall, and a children’s museum, all located among the trees.
The zoo’s two main themes are Japanese animals such as Japanese serows, Japanese squirrels, antelopes, badgers, mountain lions, foxes, and raccoons, and foreign animals such as maras, fennecs, and porcupines that have characteristics that are easily familiar to children.
Visitors can interact with the animals and observe them up close in the “Guinea Pig Corner,” “Livestock Barn,” and “Squirrel Trail.
