Shirotori Zoo

If you love getting close to Animals for feeding opportunity this is the zoo for you. The animals and exhibits are also not too far away so the walking is very manageable. I would recommend if you have kids. The lemurs were all over me on my shoulders and eating carrots. I love this place. Also cheap entry.

First time in my life touching so many types of animals in this zoo. It’s fun for all ages. Recommended.

A mid-size private zoo located in east Kagawa, about 1 hour away Takamatsu downtown area. It’s designed for short range observation as well as interaction. You can buy carrot, banana etc. to feed some of animals. You can also join scheduled animal touch or feeding. Good to kids who love animals. The campus is not always flat and you need to walk up and down through some small hills.

There was a wide variety of Animals at the zoo. They have lions, tigers, a wide bird collection, elephants, zebra just to name a few. They also had a petting zoo area for kids with rabbits, baby chicks and hamsters. You can even buy vegetables to feed animals as you move around their habitats. The downside for me was how the animals were situated. It was a lot of fences and seeing the larger animals were difficult even take pictures were somewhat obstructed. Also there is a lot of loose soil and the day I went it was very windy and the dirt was everywhere. PS: I would have loved to have seen the hippo in actual water and the elephant around trees etc.

Heartbreaking experience, extremely inhumane zoo. The person who recommended it made it sound like a breeding sanctuary but it’s not, it’s a prison for animals. If you are expecting humane breeding programmes this is not the place for you. We left very shortly after walking in, some in tears. These animals deserve so much better
