Takaoka Kojō Zoo, Municipal zoo in Takaoka Castle Park, Japan.
Located within the former castle grounds, Takaoka Kojō Zoo exhibits various animal species across a 210,000-square-meter park setting with moats and embankments.
The zoo, established in 1951, sits on the site of Takaoka Castle, which was demolished in 1618 following regional limitations imposed by the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The zoo integrates with seasonal Japanese traditions, particularly during spring when cherry blossoms transform the park into a gathering place for flower viewing.
Visitors can access the zoo free of charge from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with 140 parking spaces available and convenient connections to public transportation.
The facility combines animal exhibits with historical castle moats, creating an environment where wildlife education meets Japanese architectural heritage.
