Gokatsura Pond Furusato Village, Zoo in Taki, Japan.

The Gokatsura Pond Furusato Village spans across green spaces with a dedicated animal area housing 49 species and 250 animals, including lions and wallabies.

The facility emerged from a 1980s community initiative to revitalize the local economy after citrus farming declined in the Gokatsura district of Taki.

The restaurant within the complex operates as a training facility for students from Taki High School, who participate in national cooking competitions.

The zoo maintains regular hours from 10:00 to 16:30 during summer months and 10:00 to 16:00 in winter, with entrance fees of 500 yen for adults.

The facility incorporates a direct agricultural produce market where local farmers sell fresh vegetables and fruits harvested from neighboring fields.
