Iwate Safari Park

The park divides its 600 animals into carnivore and herbivore sections, with safari buses traveling through extensive natural habitats spanning multiple zones.

This wildlife center started operations on April 16, 2008, marking the introduction of a drive-through animal viewing concept in Iwate Prefecture.

The park promotes understanding of global wildlife by displaying animals from Africa, Asia, and the Americas in environments that replicate their natural habitats.

Visitors can access the park within 45 minutes by car from Ichinoseki Interchange, with operating hours from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM most days.

Guests interact with rare primates in designated areas and experience elephant rides, while watching flamingo presentations in specialized exhibition zones.
