Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center

The Tsushima Wildlife Conservation Center is a protection facility on the namesake island dedicated to saving endangered animal species. The grounds feature realistic habitat displays, educational exhibits, and learning programs for visitors of all ages.

The center was established in 1997 to prevent the island's rare wild cats from disappearing. Since then it has become the main location for restoring endangered animal populations in this region.

The center's name reflects the island's unique wildlife, which serves as home to rare species found nowhere else. Visitors can learn how local communities and conservation efforts work together to protect these endangered animals.

The center welcomes visitors daily starting in the early morning and closes in the late afternoon. Accessible facilities, parking on-site, and wheelchairs are available for exploring the grounds.

The center operates live cameras that record the behavior of the rare local wild cats and provide visitors with direct access to real-time observation. These cameras allow you to see the animal in its natural rhythm without disturbing it.
