Zoorasia
The Yokohama Zoological Garden Zoorasia, opened in 1999, is a unique zoo that works with as few fences as possible so that visitors can observe the animals in an environment similar to their natural habitat. The zoo is therefore one of the zoological gardens of Japan with the greatest focus on animal husbandry as appropriate.
The zoo is divided into areas with different climatic zones, such as an Asian tropical forest, sub-arctic forest, Amazon jungle, Japanese landscape and African tropical rainforest. There is also a grass park and the 'Wanpaku forest' with play equipment for children.
In addition, the zoo is also home to the Yokohama Breeding Center, a research institue that was founded to research wild animals and contribute to the conservation of rare species.
