Encounter giraffes walking in the grassland and polar bears and they dive into the water before your eyes as just some of the 800 animals of around 130 species in enclosures matching each animal's respective environment. There's the Fureai Plaza where you can touch rabbits and guinea pigs as well as the Mogumogu Plaza where you can feed for yourself goats, sheep, and capybaras for a small fee, making it very popular with children.
The botanical garden too is home to numerous species of plants with approximately 30 thousand you can enjoy in the Rose Garden and Japanese Garden, in addition to a forest with various local trees. The greenhouse environment, home to a plant life paradise is always warm, making it summer no matter when you go! And of course, the Monet Corner with water lilies, weeping willows, wisterias, and more from impressionist painter Claude Monet's home of France make you feel like you're in one of his paintings.
