Located on a hilltop in a quiet residential neighborhood, Nogeyama Park is a great place to escape the crowds and enjoy the peaceful greenery and wide open spaces. When walking around it is hard to believe that you are only a few minutes away from one of the liveliest parts of Yokohama. A short distance away from this park is another interesting place worth visiting, Nogeyama Zoological Gardens.

Nogeyama Zoo is a free-entry zoo that offers a fun and educational experience for visitors of all ages. Located near Minato Mirai, it houses a variety of animals, including lions, red pandas, and penguins. The zoo’s compact size makes it easy to explore in a few hours, and its interactive exhibits, such as a petting area, make it particularly appealing to families with children. The surrounding park adds a layer of greenery and relaxation. For a budget-friendly, family-friendly activity, Nogeyama Zoo is an excellent choice while exploring Yokohama.

Nogeyama Zoological Gardens
#thingstodo It's free to enter the zoo. There's a variety of animals, including red pandas, chimpanzees, lions, birds, reptiles, bears, and giraffes, all well taken care of (maybe they could consider adding a fish collection though). Each cage is numbered, making it easy to navigate the zoo and see all the animals. There's a feeding time schedule each day where you can watch animals being fed while keepers provide information about them (you can check the schedule on their website). There's also a small animal show that requires reservation before entry. It's so much fun seeing the animals, making it a perfect place for a picnic.

Built in the 1950's with the concept of getting to experience animals up close, this Zoo has an assortment of different animals that you can get to fairly closely. The highlight for me was the red panda and the giraffe 🦒 It's a publicly funded Zoo so there is no entrance fee. There a place to eat inside the zoo near the entrance and at the entrance there is a gift shop. The facility is well maintained and you'd never guess it was made in the 1950's. Lots of stairs and the zoo is built on a steep incline and not friendly for people with strollers and wheelchairs.

Christmas at Nogeyama Zoo
Nogeyama Zoo is a free municipal zoological garden that opened in April 1951 under the name “Nogeyama Amusement Park”. We went 2nd week of December in 2018, and there was a Christmas tree at the entrance. This is a small zoo but there are variety of animals. And they are well taken care of. If you are in Yokohama, visit this zoo with your friends and family.
Getting there:
🌟10 min. walk from "Hinodecho Station" (Keikyu Line) 🌟15 min. walk from "Sakuragicho Station" (JR Keihin-Tohoku Negishi Line / Yokohama Municipal Subway)
