Higashiyama Zoo

Covering a vast area of approximately 60 hectares, the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens is holding various events and exhibitions to commemorate its 80th anniversary. Some highlights include areas offering a close look at such rare animals as the Sumatran Tiger and snow leopards, as well as chances for visitors to explore and learn about the ecology and lives of various plants and animals. There will also be panel displays outlining the history of this well-kept facility that has been undergoing renovations over the past decade.
