Details
*Scheduled to close at the end of September 2025*
Located near Jozankei in Hokkaido, "North Safari Sapporo" is Hokkaido's first interactive experience zoo. Visitors can interact with and feed over 140 different species of animals, making it popular among guests of all ages. The park also features Japan's first camping facility that allows for interactive experiences with animals.
The park is divided into three areas, with the most notable being the "DANGEROUS FOREST." Here, visitors can experience feeding birds of prey or moon bears, but the most popular attraction is the "Dangerous Feeding," where guests can enter the tiger enclosure to feed the tigers, feeling both the majesty and charm of these magnificent creatures up close.
Additionally, the "DANGEROUS ZONE," which requires signing a "consent form" to enter, is also a must-visit. Walking past aggressive animals like alligator turtles and porcupines, the most thrilling experience in this extreme zone is walking across a glass bridge directly above large crocodiles, feeling the adrenaline rush as you pass over their heads. It’s an area that offers both excitement and unique experiences.
The park also features Japan's first animal interaction camping area, with three small cabins and luxurious camping tents, dome tents, and hillside cabins, totaling 12 accommodations, all accompanied by seals, penguins, and sea turtles. Guests can spend the night with popular animals like meerkats, wallabies, and mini pigs, enjoying a day surrounded by wildlife. Notably, the camping meals are quite luxurious, with recommendations for barbecues filled with Hokkaido's mountain delicacies and seafood, making dining in nature exceptionally delicious.
