Japan's first zoo without fences

The most distinctive feature of Tama Zoological Park is its free-range display method, which is the first of its kind in Japan. Generally, the exhibition areas in zoos are surrounded by fences, but in this zoo, trenches are used instead of fences to separate the animals from the visitors. The animals are kept free in a spacious space so that visitors can watch the cute animals up close. Tama Zoological Park is located in the mountains surrounded by greenery. The zoo breeds and displays more than 350 rare animals, including long-tailed, furry snow leopards, lions, orangutans, koalas, cheetahs, etc. One of the charms of this zoo Tama Zoological Park Address: 7-1-1 Chengjibao, Hino City, Tokyo Opening hours: 09:30～17:00 Closed: Wednesdays (If Wednesday falls on a national holiday, a make-up holiday, or Tokyo Citizens' Day, the park will be closed the following day), year-end and New Year holidays (December 29 to January 1 of the following year) Admission: General 600 yen / Junior high school students 200 yen / People over 65 years old 300 yen Access: About 1 minute walk from Tama Zoological Park Station Train (Time required: about 40 minutes) Shinjuku Station → (Keio Line) → Takahatafudo Station → (Keio Zoo Line) → Tama Zoo Station #TokyoAttractions#TamaZooPark #Zoo #JapanTravel #TokyoFreeTravel
