行川島

行川島 is a facility in Chiba, Japan, that combines a zoo with a botanical garden on an island setting. The site allows visitors to explore both animal enclosures and plant collections within the same grounds.

The facility opened to the public on August 13, 1964, establishing itself as a center for preserving flora and fauna. Over the decades, the site developed into a place where both areas coexist side by side.

The gardens incorporate traditional Japanese landscaping techniques while maintaining international standards for botanical research and animal care protocols.

Pathways connect the animal areas with the plant areas, allowing visitors to move between both attractions. Restrooms and rest spots are distributed at several points across the grounds.

The island location creates a natural boundary that benefits both plants and animals. Visitors experience a contained environment where both elements meet within a compact space.
