About Maruyama Zoo
- The Red Panda exhibit area is a major highlight and a top attraction for many visitors.
- You can observe animals suited for northern climates, such as the Polar Bear.
- Since the zoo involves a fair amount of walking, visiting in comfortable walking shoes is highly recommended.
- We suggest a stay of approximately 120 minutes to ensure you have enough time to see the major exhibits and enjoy the scenery.
