Morioka Zoo, Zoo in Morioka, Japan
The Morioka Zoo contains 100 animal species, including African elephants, giraffes, lions, Asian black bears, Japanese macaques, and sika deer within natural surroundings.
The zoo opened on April 22, 1989, as a commemorative facility for the 100th anniversary of the Morioka municipal system establishment.
The Canadian otters, sheep, and pumas at the zoo represent gifts from Victoria, Canada, strengthening the connection between these sister cities.
The zoo operates from April to November, Thursday through Tuesday, between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with animal feeding sessions throughout the day.
Visitors can participate in supervised animal interactions, including feeding 70 macaque monkeys and joining giraffe training sessions with zookeepers.
