About this spot
Surrounded by the rich nature of Mie Prefecture, Ouchiyama Zoo is a private zoo that began with its owner's deep love of animals. Its greatest feature is the astonishing "closeness" to the animals. By purchasing feed sold in the park (100 yen), you can feed sheep, ponies, and even unusual birds such as emus directly, an experience that captivates everyone from children to adults. The animals on display are wide-ranging, from impressive large animals such as lions and bears to small animals such as monkeys, rabbits, and birds. The simple, warm atmosphere of the park, free of excessive decoration, is ideal for forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city and spending a relaxed time. It is perfect for a weekend family trip or a date, and also for observing the animals at leisure on your own. Why not spend a heartwarming holiday, soothed by the animals' adorable faces?
