Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch
Spot a snack and they’ll wave for your attention — meet these adorable and expressive bears!
At Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, you’ll have the chance to meet charming and playful Hokkaido brown bears up close. Inside this spacious park, the bears are grouped by age, and you can observe them relaxing, wrestling like sumo wrestlers, or simply enjoying their time in their own unique ways.
During the popular feeding experience, you can offer them treats like cookies or apples. Some bears will even stand up and wave their paws as if saying, “Over here! Over here!” — an amusing and heartwarming sight that’s sure to delight visitors of all ages. It's also a chance to enjoy a bit of “communication” with the bears as they lock eyes with you, hoping for a snack.
In May, don’t miss the debut of the year’s new bear cubs in the park’s "bear kindergarten." Their fluffy, innocent charm is simply irresistible — a perfect reason to visit!
