Gunma Safari Park

The expansive grounds of Gunma Safari Park contain over 100 species of animals, including elephants, rhinos, lions, white tigers, and giraffes in semi-natural habitats.

The establishment of Gunma Safari Park in 1979 marked a new era for wildlife observation in Japan, introducing an immersive approach to animal encounters.

The park organizes educational programs throughout the year, teaching visitors about wildlife conservation while maintaining Japanese principles of respectful animal observation.

Visitors can access the park via taxi from Joshu-Tomioka Station or drive to the facility, which maintains parking space for 1,500 vehicles.

Guests may choose between driving their own vehicles through animal territories or boarding specialized buses equipped with protective features for close wildlife observation.
