Moment of Joy

The Fukuyama City Zoo is a barrier-free zoo where visitors in wheelchairs and small children can view the animals with ease. The zoo also has an animal feeding and petting corner, and is a popular spot with many children. The park is also smaller than the Asa Zoological Park, also in Hiroshima Prefecture, and the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, so it can be visited in about one to two hours. You can easily visit the park as one of the tourist attractions on your trip.
