Enjoy a fun family day at Kumamoto City Zoo
Joined 2025
Located in the heart of Kumamoto, this spacious zoo is home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and many more. Children will especially enjoy the petting area, where they can interact with friendly animals like goats and rabbits.
In addition to the animal exhibits, the zoo features a beautiful botanical garden with seasonal flowers, a small amusement park with fun rides for young children, and plenty of shaded rest areas—perfect for picnics or a relaxing break.
