Observe animals through features like the orangutan skywalk and lion bus!
This zoo, one of the largest in the world exceeding 50 hectares, allows visitors to see about 300 species of animals, from ants to elephants. Located in the Tama Hills, walking around the park gives the feeling of hiking in a nature park.
The zoo is divided into four areas: the Asian Garden, the African Garden, the Australian Garden, and the Insectarium. Its unique feature is that it reduces the use of cages and separates animals with moats, allowing visitors to observe animals living freely.
It's a pioneer that created the world's first lion bus and insect ecology park. It also has a wildlife conservation center and works on the protection and breeding of endangered animals like the crested ibis and the Japanese stork.

Compared to traditional zoos, Tama really feels more like a wildlife park. It's perfect for families, and I saw lots of kindergarten kids there on field trips.
I originally planned to just spend half a day here, but ended up staying the whole day!
The animals are all so cute, and there are way more species than I could count.
If you're in Tokyo with kids and want to avoid big crowds, this is the place!
Just a heads up, there are a lot of slopes in the park, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
The area is huge—about four times the size of Ueno Zoo! Take the shuttle bus up and then walk down while checking out the animals. The butterfly house is especially cool, with butterflies flying all around you. The animal statues at the entrance are a must for photos.
Even though I get cold easily, I still had a blast here! The scenery is just amazing~
I was so tired after walking all day, but spending time with these animals made me feel really happy.
