Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens is one of Nagoya’s most popular family attractions, combining a large zoo, landscaped botanical gardens, and an observation tower in a spacious hillside setting. Visitors can see a wide range of animals, including koalas and Asian elephants, while the gardens offer seasonal flowers, wooded paths, and greenhouses. Its size and variety make it especially appealing for travelers who want a relaxed half- or full-day outing with both nature and wildlife.
