Toyohashi Zoo and Botanical Park, Zoo and botanical garden in Toyohashi, Japan

The park spans 39.6 hectares and contains four distinct sections: a zoo, a botanical garden, a natural history museum, and an amusement park.

The facility originated from a private zoo near Toyohashi Station in 1899, relocated to its current location in 1970, and expanded into a comprehensive park in 1992.

The park's name 'Nonhoi' derives from local dialect words 'non' meaning 'right' and 'hoi' meaning 'hey', reflecting the regional heritage of Eastern Mikawa.

The facility operates from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 and 16:30, with last admission at 16:00, and offers stroller and wheelchair rentals for visitors.

The zoo maintains Japan's largest public Asian elephant herd with six individuals and features the country's only viewing corridor for observing lions from below.
