This is a rare theme park in Japan that combines a zoo, an aquarium, and an amusement park.
With the theme of interaction between humans, animals, and nature, visitors can see up close approximately 1,550 marine and land animals living in their natural habitat.
Several giant pandas are bred here, and most of them were born in Adventure World. Visitors can see pandas spending their time freely in a roofless space.
Safari World is a train-type ride on the Kenya, which takes about 1,500 meters (about 25 minutes) around the park to see all the free-ranging herbivorous and carnivorous animals.
Visitors can also walk around the park with the exception of the Lion and Bear zones.
Visitors can feed giraffes, mouflon, camels, emus, and kangaroos by purchasing food from vending machines in the herbivore zone.
At Marine World, visitors can watch dolphin and whale shows and see polar bears, penguins, fur seals, and seals in the indoor aquarium.
There are Cape penguins, capybaras, pygmy hippos, a petting zoo where you can play with small animals, and a play zone with roller coasters and a giant ferris wheel.
