Although the animals look a little sad and stressed out, the zoo is pretty small and has lots of animals in a small space so you don't have to walk as much as an American zoo. The tiger is trapped in like a one bedroom space and elephant is by itself even if it's illegal to have elephant by itself in the US cus it's supposed to be in packs in many acres of land. This zoo had it's elephant in a tiny tiny jail kind of space. The curry in the cafeteria was so good.

The zoo is small but it’s a nice small space to walk around. Went in a weekday and barely anybody there so was able to enjoy a quiet time looking at the animals. There was also a petting zoo but it’s only open on certain days and it’s first come first serve. The aviary in the zoo was so beautiful. It was ginormous and you get to go inside to watch the birds fly around going about their lives. There’s also a mountain that you climb using a cart and the views from the top are beautiful. You can see the ocean on one side and Mt. Fuji on another. On the way down I rode the roller slide which was really fun. The staff operating the rides were really cheerful and nice. The payment options for tickets entering the zoo also supports cashless.

A nice and clean quaint zoo that started in the 60s. Most of the animals seemed content and well cared for. I enjoyed my time here. Watch out for school trips as the zoo can become quite busy.

The zoo is big and the animals look very comfortable in the zoo. It is totally recommended to go with kids or just for experience. They have a panther and elephant 🥰

Great place to enjoy with family I definitely will go again because it was raining so we couldn't enjoy the Playland they have there. There's a big slide but it was closed. Maybe next time, we can't wait 😊🙏✨
