Adachi Park of Living Things, Zoo and aquarium in Hokima, Japan.
Adachi Park of Living Things is a zoo and aquarium in Hokima that houses over 500 animal species including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. The animals live in naturalized settings designed to reflect their native habitats.
The facility originated in 1993 from a center focused on raising fireflies and later expanded into a comprehensive educational institution. This evolution shows how a specialized project grew into a diverse place for observing animals.
The park draws local visitors during early summer when fireflies light up the grounds at night, creating a shared experience of natural wonder. This tradition reflects how the community values moments spent observing living things in their natural state.
The park is well-structured for extended visits, allowing visitors to easily navigate between different animal sections. It works best to arrive in the morning when animals are most active, especially around the wetland and water tank areas.
A specially large goldfish tank measures about 5.5 meters in length and holds 1,000 specimens of different varieties such as Ryukin, Demekin, and Ranchu. This collection reveals the range of shapes and colors possible within a single fish species and draws visitors interested in selective breeding.
