Okazaki City Higashi Park

Okazaki City Higashi Park is a public recreational space that combines gardens with animal exhibits throughout its grounds. The zoo section houses elephants, monkeys, llamas, and a petting area where children can touch smaller creatures.

The park was established to provide residents with access to natural spaces and wildlife. Over time it became a key recreational destination serving the educational needs of the community.

The park serves as a gathering place for local families who come to enjoy seasonal flowers and feed ducks throughout the year. Children run between the green spaces while parents spend unhurried time together in a relaxed setting.

The park opens at 9 AM and closes at 4:30 PM, with free parking available for around 420 vehicles. Multiple restrooms with baby changing facilities are located throughout the grounds for visitor convenience.

Visitors can purchase food to feed various animals directly, including carrots for deer and sweet potatoes for an elephant named Fujiko. This hands-on experience creates a memorable connection between guests and the animals they encounter.
