About Kyoto City Zoo

Kyoto City Zoo

Kyoto City Zoo is the second oldest zoo in Japan opened in Meiji 36 (1903). The location is Okazaki, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. Kyoto City Zoo has undergone a full renewal in 2015, and is a popular spot to enjoy in the new facility today. There is also a buffet restaurant in the new park, and it has changed to a spot where adults also can enjoy it.

Since all the photos are taken before the renewal, I would like to go again.

The main animals of the zoo include lions, tigers, giant salamanders, giraffes, hippos, lesser pandas, elephants and penguins. It was remade into a cage where the animal was seen from the vicinity now than before, children who love animals will be pleased. （Children under junior high school students are free of admission fee.）

In addition, there are facilities such as Kyoto City Museum of Art, Heian Jingu Shrine, and Kyoto Kaikan in the vicinity of the Kyoto City Zoological Garden, and it is good to stroll together.
