Tama Zoological Park

When in Tokyo, nature lovers should drop in at the Tama Zoological Park. Spread over 52.3 hectares, the park is home to a range of animal and insect species and has the proud distinction of being the birthplace of the African elephant Mao! The park has successfully recreated a naturalistic habitat and it is a pleasure to watch the inhabitants thrive in this vast ecological wonderland. The different ecological areas that are the Asian Garden, African Garden, Australian Garden and Insectariums are home to magnificent animals like the Amur Tigers and the Red Kangaroos. You can also take a guided tour through the Insect hall and observe the cuddly bears at the Koala Park. Don't forget to pick up a souvenir from the Zoo shop, on your way out!
