Had a great time with me wife n little girls. There may have been a few big hills but besides that they had an awesome amount of animals and a lot of places to sit rest or even picnic. They even had an area for the little ones to pet animals and also go on a slide. The staff was friendly and the park was very clean. Will be taking the kids back soon.

Wonderful day spent wandering the gardens and visiting the animals. Overall cages were sized pretty well and the animals all looked happy and had friends to hang out with (except for the solitary animals like the cheetah).

An amazing zoo my partner and I found while in Hiroshima. It did take us an hour bus ride to get there though. Overall it was a fun half a day to explore.

A good variety of animals but some of the enclosures were not great for the animals they had. Dirty or not enough room. The staff were lovely and there were very few visitors due to the snow. Overall was worth the visit :)
