Kobe Oji Zoo, Municipal zoo in Ōji-chō, Japan.
The Kobe Oji Zoo maintains 138 species and 778 animals across its 80,618 square meters of grounds in a natural setting.
Established in 1951 after relocating from its original Suwayama Park location, where the first zoo operated from 1928 to 1946.
The zoo houses the relocated Hunter Residence, a western-style building from Kitano district that opens for public viewing during specific months.
The facility includes an Animal Science Museum with screening equipment, an amusement park, and displays a preserved Japanese National Railways D51 steam locomotive.
Until March 2024, this remained the only zoo in Japan where visitors could see both giant pandas and koalas in the same location.
