Overview of Yokohama City Zoo

Okapi

"A zoo that everyone can enjoy and learn as a comprehensive zoo representing Yokohama City"
This is the newest zoo in Yokohama, which was first opened in 1999. In April 2015, "Africa Savannah" was fully opened to the public, bringing the site area to 45.3ha, the largest in Japan. The park is composed of eight climatic zones, from "tropical forests in Asia" to "savanna in Africa", and the exhibition hall is a "habitation environment exhibition" that reproduces the habitat. It breeds many animals from Japan, such as okapi, Indra ion, and Kanmuli Great Argus.

"A zoo where a small child meets, interacts, and feels alive for the first time, a zoo where anyone can easily visit, enjoy, relax, and heal"
It will be the oldest zoo in Yokohama, which opened in 1951. The park is popular with Nakayoshi Plaza, where you can interact with small animals such as guinea pigs, as well as reptile houses and beast houses.

"While feeling the interaction of animals and the lush nature of southern Yokohama, you realize the importance of life and the environment," discovering creatures! "Experience Zoo"
In 1982, a part of the American ward was opened in Kanazawa Nature Park as a branch garden in Nogeyama Zoo. It became Kanazawa Zoological Gardens independent of Nogeyama Zoo in 1988, and was fully opened in 1989 with the completion of the African District. The exhibition mainly focuses on rare herbivores such as koala, Indian elephants, and black rhinoceros. In recent years, with the theme of rich forests around the area, we have been focusing on environmental education through familiar creatures.
