IZoo, Herpetarium in Kawazu, Japan
The facility spans 20,000 square meters and houses more than 1,500 animals, with a primary focus on reptiles and amphibians.
Opening its doors on December 15, 2012, iZoo replaced the former Izu Andiland, which operated from 1986 to 2012 at the same location.
The facility received and displays a Burmese Star Tortoise that belonged to manga artist Momoko Sakura, connecting wildlife conservation with Japanese pop culture.
Located three minutes by car from Kawazu Station, the facility operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 2,500 yen for adults and 1,500 yen for children.
In 2013, iZoo became the first facility worldwide to exhibit the earless monitor lizard, a rare species unavailable for viewing anywhere else.
