Supervised by :  Fuji Safari Park

One of Japan’s largest safari parks, located at an elevation of 850 meters at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Visitors can observe lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, and bears living in natural surroundings.

There are two main types of tours. The Safari Tour takes visitors on a drive lasting approximately 50 to 60 minutes. In addition to driving their own vehicles, visitors can choose a Navigation Car equipped with a tablet, a Jungle Bus with wire-mesh windows instead of glass, or a Super Jungle Bus enclosed in wire mesh all the way up to the roof. The buses offer an especially thrilling experience, bringing the faces, tongues, and paw pads of bears, lions, and other animals right before your eyes.

Walking tours include the Walking Safari, which lets visitors explore at their own pace along a course outside the fence surrounding the Safari Zone, and the Adventure Tour, a guided experience that includes feeding the animals. These tours offer a more leisurely way to spend time observing the animals and enjoying a refreshing walk through the forest.

Other attractions include the Fureai Ranch, where visitors can interact with kangaroos and capybaras and see adorable animals such as ponies and red pandas, and Animal Village, home to unusual animals including leopards, hippos, squirrel monkeys, and porcupines.

Highlights

  • See Mt. Fuji and the animals together.
  • Japan’s first Super Jungle Bus brings visitors close enough to hear the animals breathing.
  • Take in views of Mt. Fuji and feed the animals while enjoying a refreshing walk through the forest.

    At Fuji Safari Park, you can drive your own car through the park and see the animals up close. It’s very different from visiting a typical zoo and was quite a novel experience.

    Along the way, we saw lions, zebras, giraffes, and other animals roaming freely. They seemed to be living pretty well, and since their movements weren’t restricted, there were lots of fun and unexpected moments. We arrived a little late this time and missed the Jungle Bus, which was a bit disappointing. If I have another chance to visit, I’d like to enter earlier and take the Jungle Bus to experience the fun of observing the animals from even closer.

    Compared to Ueno Zoo, the animals here seem so much happier.
