Last update :

Nogeyama Park is located up on a hill that looks out over Yokohama city, and it is also the home of Nogeyama Zoo. Opened in 1951, the zoo is home to around 1,800 animals across around 80 types, including giraffes, lions, and lesser pandas (also known as red pandas). A great perk of this zoo is that, despite being in the heart of Yokohama, admission is free! One of its more popular areas is “Nakayoshi Hiroba,” where you can interact with small animals like guinea pigs and mice. During the spring many people visit the zoo for cherry blossom viewing.

Highlights

  • It's located on a hill overlooking the city of Yokohama.
  • During “Animal Feeding Time,” guests can watch the animals eat and learn about them and their diets from the keepers. Please see official web page for times.
  • Reservations are required for the “Nakayoshi Hiroba“. For more information, please check the website.

    最大的賣點應該就是免費入園了,且可以看到不少動物,環境也很乾淨,也有休憩中心可以休息,大約逛2-3小時就可以結束,所以可以排早上行程早點入場。

    野毛動物園在橫濱市區,交通方便,而且入園不收費。帶小孩去玩,特別開心。能在很近的地方看長頸鹿等動物。最好玩的是可以抱天竺鼠和小母雞等可愛的小動物。
