飯田市立動物園 【公式】

Iida City Zoo is a charming little animal park located at the edge of apple-lined avenues in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. Established in 1947 during the city’s post-fire reconstruction efforts, the zoo began with the care of boars and has evolved significantly over the years. Although Iida City Zoo once featured larger animals like lions and bears, it transformed into a small animal-centered facility after the city was designated as a disaster prevention area in 1979. The zoo does not host elephants or giraffes but focuses on creating meaningful encounters between visitors and animals.

Iida City Zoo encourages casual visits, inviting guests to explore and discover the park’s unique wildlife, making it an engaging destination for families and animal lovers alike. Admission is free, catering to all visitors seeking a delightful day outdoors. The zoo also hosts various events throughout the year, enhancing the experience for its community and fostering an appreciation for wildlife.
