What other travelers are saying about Fuji Safari Park
Fantastic chance to experience the animals close up. We arrived at 10am and jungle bus were already sold out for morning slots and only managed to get 1230pm bus. As we drove, so we could do our own driving within the safari zone first before taking the jungle bus ride. Jungle bus experience was great as we could feed the bears, lions,camels close up. Animals strutted freely in their own zones. Zebras and elks roamed freely, crossing the driving path. Highly recommended to reach the park as soon as it opens at 9am in order to get the morning jungle bus slots. If you have kid older than preschool, you could take their extreme jungle bus 😆

Great for kids and first-time safari experience. Safari bus feeding experience is the highlight and so it the drive through experience. The petting areas and animal encounters is also good and easily walkable as everything is close by. But what I feel is the animals look bored and lazy.
Great experience being able to drive your own vehicle in to be upclose with the animals. Note that guided tours on their safari bus runs out pretty quickly if you are not driving.
Saw an elephant that was sick and isolated though, hope the safari is able to take care of that one
What a surprise destination! I had met a lovely couple the day before that spoke so highly of the safari park. I had not come across it in any of my searches. We decided to visit the park, with no expectations and were pleasantly surprised. We arrived just before it opened and were one of the first few cars in the queue. We found there to be adequate time within each safari zone and loved the beautiful views of Fuji throughout the park. You come very close to all of the animals within the safari park which was so unexpected and breathtaking at the same time. One of the other highlights was being so close to pat and feed the capybaras!
We enjoyed the visit so much! The 45-minute jungle bus ride was a highlight—we got to feed bears, lions, and camels while spotting many animals roaming freely around the park. After that, we explored other areas on foot to see even more animals up close.
Our favourite parts were definitely the animal feeding experiences. Be sure to prepare plenty of ¥100 coins, as each feeding requires them. If needed, you can approach any ranger to help change notes into ¥100 coins, which was very convenient.
The only downside was that the navigation system in the car was available only in Japanese. Other than that, it was a fantastic 3-hr experience overall. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
