🗺️ Hamamatsu City Zoo浜松市動物園

Facing Lake Biwa, this vast area of 146,000 hectares is home to about 300 animals of approximately 90 species. Utilizing the undulating terrain of nature, it creates an atmosphere as if one is in a forest. Not only can visitors observe the animals, but the sounds of insects and birds, along with the seasonal flowers and plants, also provide a soothing experience. The park is one of the zoos in Japan with the largest number of primates, featuring the largest "gorilla" among West African primates and the "Sumatran orangutan," which moves gracefully through the branches with its long arms. Notably, the "golden lion tamarin," which is small in size and found only here in all of Japan, is a must-see highlight. Additionally, there are rich activities such as interactive experiences with guinea pigs, and feeding experiences with goats, sheep, and donkeys. During animal feeding times (held daily in principle), visitors can enjoy watching sea lions, penguins, and other animals eat in an adorable manner.
