Fuji Safari Park is one of the largest safari parks in Japan, where 900 animals of about 60 species from all over the world live freely and spontaneously in a rich natural environment at the foot of Mt.
The vast Safari Zone is home to lions, elephants, Amur tigers, cheetahs, and other animals, and is characterized by its overwhelming size and variety of animals compared to other safari parks.
Visitors can observe wild animals up close in their own cars or in jungle buses shaped like animals as they travel along a course set outdoors.
The wire-netted “jungle buses” are very popular, and visitors can even get up close and personal with the fierce animals while feeding them.
Visitors can also take a “night safari” to observe the night life of wild animals, or a walking safari to observe animals while walking.
The “petting zone” is also popular, where visitors can interact with kangaroos and other small animals and even enjoy horseback riding.
Visitors can actually feed the cute little animals at the petting zones, or spend a relaxing moment in the cat and dog pavilions.
The park also hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Fun activities include photo opportunities with lion cubs, a parade of American Miniature Horses, and a limited-time only reindeer sleigh ride.
As for the private buses, please note that they may sell out by mid-morning because of the timed ticket system.
With a wide variety of hands-on events, this nature and animal park is a great place to enjoy nature and animals. Enjoy an exciting adventure and an inspiring experience!
