About this spot
Chiba Zoological Park is easily accessible from central Tokyo and is perfect for weekend family trips and dates. The family of the red panda 'Futa-kun,' who once caused a social phenomenon, still lives here happily, and you can see their adorable forms up close. The park is divided into seven zones, and the 'Grassland Zone' in particular is popular for its exhibit where you can see cheetahs and hyenas running. The 'Petting Animal Village' area offers pony riding and chances to interact with goats and sheep, making it an essential spot for families with small children. The nature-rich park has many benches and lawns, so you can spend a day as if on a picnic. With a barbecue area, cafe and shop as well, it is also recommended for friends and for those who want to observe animals slowly alone. Why not be healed by the animals' lively forms while enjoying the scenery of each season?
