The park is divided into two areas: the Safari Zone and the Interaction Zone. The Safari Zone can be toured by car or sightseeing bus, while the Interaction Zone can be toured on foot.

About the Super Jungle Bus


You'll travel around the Safari Zone in a bus with wire mesh on both sides and even on the ceiling. Not only can you listen to animal commentary from staff, but you can also feed animals such as bears, lions, and Asian elephants along the way. On the Super Jungle Bus, bears and lions will climb onto the ceiling, allowing you to observe the animals from a rarely seen angle and enjoy the experience of feeding them. It's an exciting experience where you can even feel the animals' breathing.

How to enjoy the Super Jungle Bus!
Listen to detailed and entertaining animal commentary from your driver!

The safari zone, which is 4.5 km in circumference, is divided into seven areas, and the Super Jungle Bus driver will guide you around while giving commentary about the animals.
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 lion zone, you'll learn things like, "Lions are unusual among felines in that they live in groups. These groups are called prides!" and "They sleep 15 to 18 hours a day, spending most of the day asleep."
You can hear interesting facts and information about animals!
*Animal explanations are in Japanese
Also, along the course, you can enjoy feeding animals at three locations: bears, lions, and camels.
Bear feeding experience
In the bear zone, you can feed apples and carrots to the American black bears. Using the iron tongs provided under your seat, you can push the food out through the wire mesh on the ceiling. The bears will approach you from angles you've never seen before!

Lion feeding experience
In the Lion Zone, you can feed the lions chicken with bones. You can also observe their bellies and paw pads, and when they open their mouths wide, you can see their sharp fangs and rough tongues.


In the elephant zone, you can feed sweet potatoes to the Asian elephants, which weigh over three tons. When you place the food outside through the wire mesh on the side, the elephant will extend its trunk and skillfully use its long trunk to roll up the food and bring it to its mouth.
