Zoorasia is one of Japan's newest, largest and best kept zoos. The zoo was established in 1999, and since then has been operating under the themes of "Symbiosis of Life" and "Harmony with Nature". The animals are generally kept in spacious areas that mimic their natural habitat to a degree that is not usually seen in Japanese zoos. The animal exhibitions of Zoorasia are spread out amongst seven ecological areas: Asian Tropical Forest, Subarctic Forest, Oceanian Grassland, Central Asian Highland, Japanese Countryside, Amazon Jungle and African Tropical Rainforest. Among the zoo's highlights are the elephants, polar bears, black bears, okapi and proboscis monkeys. There are also a few restaurants and cafes, as well as nature trails and recreation areas for kids. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there

Zoorasia is located outside central Yokohama and is most easily accessed by Sotetsu Railways from Yokohama Station. Take a train from Yokohama to Tsurugamine Station (14 minutes, 190 yen, frequent departures) and transfer to a bus bound for the zoo (15 minutes, 290 yen, every 20 minutes). Alternatively, Zoorasia can be reached by bus from Nakayama Station along the JR Yokohama Line (10 minutes, 160 yen from Shin-Yokohama Station or 20 minutes, 290 yen from Yokohama Station).
