Zoorasia (ズーラシア), one of Japan’s largest and most modern zoos, provides a unique wildlife experience that emphasizes spacious, naturalistic enclosures. Opened in 1999, the zoo’s design centers around the themes of "Symbiosis of Life" and "Harmony with Nature," ensuring that animals live in environments closely resembling their natural habitats. Zoorasia stands apart from many other zoos by prioritizing animal welfare and offering immersive experiences for visitors. Its focus on conservation and education makes it a top destination for families and nature enthusiasts, providing a memorable day of exploration.

The zoo is divided into eight distinct ecological zones, each offering a different environment where animals from around the world thrive. Visitors can explore the African Savannah, home to giraffes and zebras; the Amazon Jungle, where they’ll encounter jaguars and exotic birds; and the Asian Tropical Forest, featuring elephants and proboscis monkeys. Other highlights include polar bears, black bears, and the rare okapi. Along with its diverse animal exhibits, Zoorasia features cafes, nature trails, and playgrounds, ensuring that both children and adults can enjoy a day filled with adventure, relaxation, and learning.
