Ōuchiyama Zoo

The grounds contain numerous animal exhibits featuring Asian black bears, Bengal tigers, Humboldt penguins, lions, meerkats, and greater flamingos throughout different sections.

The establishment of Ōuchiyama Zoo in 1970 marked the beginning of a privately owned wildlife facility in the Mie Prefecture region of Japan.

Local families participate in educational programs where children learn about wildlife conservation while interacting with smaller animals like monkeys and rabbits.

The facility follows seasonal hours, operating from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM during April through September, and closing thirty minutes earlier from October through March.

Visitors can feed various animals for 100 yen, creating direct connections with the wildlife while maintaining a safe distance of 10 meters.
