Himeji Central Park

Himeji Central Park spans across a large area containing both wildlife zones with 1,200 animals from 190 species and entertainment sections with rides.

The establishment of Himeji Central Park in March 1984 introduced a new concept of combining wildlife observation with recreational activities in western Japan.

The park connects visitors with animals through guided tours, educational programs, and seasonal events that reflect Japanese approaches to wildlife conservation.

Guests can reach the park via a 30-minute Shinki bus ride from JR Himeji Station, with the last entry permitted one hour before closing time.

The park allows visitors to observe wild animals while maintaining a clear view of Himeji Castle in the distance, creating a contrast of nature and architecture.
