The safari zone, which is 4.5 km in circumference, is divided into seven areas, and the jungle bus driver will give you commentary about the animals as you tour the area.
1. Bear Zone 2. Lion Zone 3. Tiger Zone 4. Cheetah Zone 5. Elephant Zone 6. General Herbivore Zone 7. Mountain Herbivore Zone

For example, in the herbivore zone, you learn things like, "Rhino horns are made of the same components as human nails and hair!" and "Rhinos are surprisingly fast runners, reaching speeds of up to 40km per hour!"
You can hear fun facts and interesting information about animals!
*Animal explanations are in Japanese
Also, along the way, you can enjoy the experience of feeding animals at three locations: bears, lions, and camels.
Bear feeding experience
In the bear zone, you can feed the American bear apples and carrots. Using the iron tongs prepared under the seat, you can put the food outside the double wire mesh. The bear can touch the ground up to its heels, so it can stand up on two legs.



Lion feeding experience
In the Lion Zone, you can feed the lions meat. The meat varies depending on the day, but it can be beef heart, chicken, etc. When they open their mouths wide, you can see their sharp fangs and rough tongues.



Experience feeding herbivores (camels)
In the herbivorous zone, you can feed Bactrian camels and llamas. They are fed pellets made of grass and minerals. You can observe them skillfully using their lips to eat.


Located at an altitude of 850m, this is one of the largest safari parks in Japan. In the vast natural surroundings at the foot of Mt. Fuji, about 900 animals from 60 species, including lions, Amur tigers, and giraffes, live freely.
