Kushiro City Zoo
A zoo embraced by the nature of Kushiro Wetlands, where Special Natural Monument Red-crowned Cranes live
Located in eastern Hokkaido's Kushiro, this zoo offers encounters with rare animals including the Special Natural Monument Red-crowned Crane and Natural Monument Blakiston's Fish Owl.
Inside the zoo, you can observe up close the white feathers and red crown of the gracefully standing Red-crowned Cranes, and the sharp gaze of the nocturnal Blakiston's Fish Owl. Various animals including sea lions, reindeer, red pandas, and lions live here, and watching the many babies born each year is also a highlight. In addition to animal exhibits unique to Hokkaido, the environment is well-equipped for learning about animal ecology.
With an amusement park and barbecue corner also attached, it's a facility where families can enjoy the entire day. The zoo is open even in winter, and the sight of animals living in snowy landscapes offers a charm different from summer. Why not experience the workings of life in Kushiro's rich natural environment?
