Swing by to find Hamamatsu Zoological Gardens nestled by Lake Hamana on a sprawling grounds of some 146,000 square meters. It houses approximately 300 animals across 90 species, utilizing the natural terrain to create a dynamic and forest-like look and feel. Once you’re here you’ll find not just the animals, but also the natural sounds of insects chirps and birdsong to complement the seasonal flowers and unbeatable serenity.

The zoo boasts one of the largest cohort of primates in Japan, including the Western Lowland Gorilla, the largest primate from West Africa, and the Sumatran Orangutan, known for its slow movement from branch to branch. A highlight here is the Golden Lion Tamarin, a small monkey from Brazil, which is exclusive to this zoo in Japan.

The zoo also offers a variety of interactive corners, complete with a mini guinea pig petting zoo, goat feeding, sheep, and donkeys. Daily feeding times for animals like seals and penguins provide a delightful glimpse into their eating habits.
