Overview of Yokohama City Zoo

Okapi

"A zoo where everyone can enjoy learning as a comprehensive zoo representing Yokohama City"
It is the newest zoo in Yokohama, which was first opened in 1999. In April 2015, "Savanna in Africa" was fully opened to the public, bringing the site area to 45.3 ha. The park consists of eight climatic zones, from "tropical forests of Asia" to "African savanna", and the exhibition hall is a "habitation exhibition" that reproduces the habitat. We breed many animals that came to Japan for the first time in Japan, such as Okapi, Indra Aeon, and Kanmuli Great Argus.

Kagu

"Zoo zoo where small children meet, interact, and feel life animals for the first time. A zoo where everyone can easily visit, enjoy, relax and heal."
It will be the oldest zoo in Yokohama, which opened in 1951. In the park, the Nakayoshi Plaza, where you can interact with small animals such as guinea pigs, the reptile museum and the beast house are gaining popularity.

Koala

"While feeling the interaction of animals and the lush nature of southern Yokohama, notice about the importance of life and the environment" Discovery of creatures! "The Zoo,"
In 1982, a part of the American ward was first opened in Kanazawa Nature Park as a branch of Nogeyama Zoo. Subsequently, Kanazawa Zoological Gardens became independent of Nogeyama Zoo in 1988, and was fully opened with the completion of the African District in 1989. The exhibition focuses on rare herbivores such as koalas, Indian elephants, and black rhinos. In recent years, under the theme of the rich forests in the surrounding area, we have been focusing on environmental education through familiar creatures.

※Kanazawa Nature Park is available even when it is closed. In addition, up to 50 cars can be parked only at the front entrance parking lot along Sasashita Kamariya Road.

It was opened in 1999 in a part of the Yokohama Zoo. This is the first time in Japan that a private breeding research facility has been opened in a zoo to protect rare animals. In the breeding wing, we strive to breed in Malayan Tapir, Bali Myna, and Kagugamete,ovum, and other areas.
