What other travelers are saying about Fuji Safari Park
What a great experience! You get to drive your own car, rented or otherwise, through the one-way route and see animals up close. Just don't pull off the paved road or the park rangers will use loudspeakers to remind you to stay on the asphalt.
Its worth every yen to visit if you are around Mt Fuji. I've been on a real African safari before so while this isn't quite the same in terms of raw untamed nature, it's a much more comfortable and convenient ride when you are in your own aircon vehicle.
If you don't drive, you can get on the cute park bus with other visitors, or engage a personal park warden guide in a park cruiser.
Budget at least 3 hours so as to drive through slowly to get good photos, and leave enough time for the House of Cats, petting section for kids and the huge souvenir shop.
And the park entry gates also elicit a "Jurassic Park" feeling as you go through them!
Had a fantastic experience at Fuji Safari Park! The bus from Fuji Station made getting there super convenient, especially since it runs on weekends and public holidays. It's a great outing for kids and family with plenty to see and do. The safari animals are well-kept, and it's such a thrill to see them up close. Definitely recommend for a memorable family day!
We drove in with the car, it was an amazing experience! Next time we will try the feeding bus. And there is a huge carpark where you can capture another angle of Mount Fuji
My son had an amazing time. Getting up close and feeding the animals. Most of the explanation was in Japanese but it wasn't difficult to understand as the food was labelled. Very well organised and not crowded.
First Safari experience.
Absolutely loved it.
Bit expensive tickets but totally worth it.
Having kids? Then do not miss this while in Japan.
Having car? Then take your own car for any many rounds you want to see your favourite wild animals out in open.
I missed the Fureai zone due to weather. Definitely in to-do list for next time.
