Komoro City Zoo

The zoological garden spans across multiple sections within Kaikoen Park, displaying native Japanese species and international wildlife in naturalistic enclosures.

Founded in 1926, the zoo established itself as an educational institution near the 16th-century Komoro Castle ruins, which belonged to the Makino clan.

The animal collection includes Kawakami dogs and Yaksika deer, representing the connection between Japanese wildlife preservation and regional heritage.

The facility operates daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 200 yen for students through high school.

Each enclosure incorporates elements from the surrounding castle architecture, creating an integration between historical structures and modern animal habitats.
