Asa Zoo
About
Nestled in the scenic hills of Asakita Ward, Asa Zoo offers a spacious, naturalistic environment for over 170 species, including red pandas, Japanese giant salamanders, and African elephants. It is highly regarded for its ethical, open-air enclosures that mimic wild habitats rather than using traditional cages. Visitors can enjoy peaceful hillside walking trails, interactive petting areas for kids, and unique nocturnal viewing events during the summer months.
Insider Tip
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the zoo is built on a hillside and involves quite a bit of uphill walking.
