Access to the Night Zoo venue
The Night Zoo will be held at Toyohashi Zoo and Botanical Gardens (Nonhoi Park). Get off at Toyohashi Station on the Shinkansen line, then take the JR Tokaido Main Line to Futagawa Station, which is one stop (5 minutes) away, and walk for 6 minutes from the south exit. From Futagawa Station, there is only one road. When you see the landmark Ferris wheel in front of you, you have almost arrived. You can even hear the cries of the animals, which makes it very immersive!
How to enjoy the Night Zoo
The "Night Zoo" is a summer tradition at Nonhoi Park that is well-received by many visitors every year. Many animals, including lions, live at Nonhoi Park, and the animals that cool off in the shade of the trees during the day become active as the sun goes down, eating and taking walks. At the "Night Zoo," you can see the natural behavior of animals right before your eyes, such as lions standing on rocks, elephants enjoying a bath, and zebras relaxing in a savanna-like enclosure.

It is also located almost halfway between Tokyo and Osaka, and is easily accessible, serving as a gateway to the Atsumi Peninsula and the East Mikawa region. ■Introduction to Toyohashi's food culture In addition to traditional food culture such as Toyohashi chikuwa, nameshi dengaku, Mikawa tsukudani, and hama natto, you can also enjoy the new local gourmet food "Toyohashi curry udon". ■Introduction to Toyohashi's culture and industry Traditional culture such as hand-held fireworks, which have a history of over 450 years, and the Toyohashi Oni Festival, which has been handed down for over 1,000 years, have been passed down and are playing a major role in tourism. Toyohashi brushes, a traditional craft, are widely known as high-quality brushes. In addition, the city's tram, one of the few in the country, is popular with local residents and has attracted attention as an environmentally friendly form of transportation. ■Toyohashi Tourism and Convention Association The purpose of the association is to analyze the regional resources of Toyohashi City and its surrounding areas, strategically improve and utilize them to promote the healthy development of tourism and convention businesses, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy and community.
