Gokatsura Pond Furusato Village, Zoo in Taki, Japan.

Gokatsura Pond Furusato Village is a zoo in Taki featuring green grounds and animal exhibits with 49 species and around 250 animals, including lions and wallabies. The facility also includes a restaurant and a farmers market where visitors can purchase locally grown produce.

The facility was created in the 1980s as a community project to revive the local economy after citrus farming declined in the Gokatsura area. This development shows how the region adapted when its main agricultural industry weakened.

The restaurant on the grounds serves as a training place where students from Taki High School work and develop cooking skills while competing at national levels.

The zoo is easily walkable with paths throughout the grounds where you can view animals in their outdoor areas. Wear comfortable shoes and plan time to rest at the restaurant or browse the farmers market during your visit.

The facility connects a zoo directly with a farmers market where local growers sell fresh produce from neighboring fields. This combination lets visitors see the connection between farmland and food while supporting the region's agricultural traditions.
