What other travelers are saying about Higashiyama Botanical Garden
Used to come here quite often. It's fun and has a low ticket price. Wide array of animals ranging from birds to mammals to reptiles to fish. There's a nice observation deck to overlook the park and city. Arguably nicer than the zoo is the botanical garden at the back of the zoo with many large gardens, ponds, and plants.
Old, outdated, not many animals to see. 80s flair and badly maintained. No space for animals. Horrible place. Only nice thing is the view from sky tower . But pay extra.
A very large zoo with a lot of facilities that all are reasonably priced, there is even an amusement park with rides. The cherry blossom garden is super spectacular. I stayed for the whole day there.
