2016 marked the 65th year since the opening of the Kobe Oji Zoo, a familiar spot for the citizens of Kobe.
There are around 130 different species of animals in the zoo, making up a total of around 800 animals. Many families visit on weekends and it gets lively. Apart from popular animals such as elephants, lions and giraffes, the zoo is the only place in the country that gives visitors the rare opportunity to view giant pandas and koalas on the same premises.
There is a Children's Zoo for coming up close with small animals such as rabbits, and also a mini amusement park that has gained great popularity among children. In addition to the daily feeding times, there are also other exciting events such as the Koala guides (on Sundays), and Polar Bear snow-playing (on weekends and public holidays in December to February) that are worth visiting.
There are also places that will captivate the young at heart, such as the Zoological Science Center where visitors can learn more about the biology of animals, Hunter's House (only open in April, May and October), and many more.
