-Ishikawa Zoo-
Located in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Ishikawa Zoo cleverly utilizes natural terrain to create exhibits that mimic wild environments, allowing visitors to observe the daily lives of animals from a closer perspective. The zoo is home to a variety of animals, including Asian elephants, pygmy hippos, red pandas, and capybaras, whose gentle and adorable nature makes them favorites among both children and adults.
Based on the concept of 'play, interact, and learn,' the zoo offers more than just animal viewing; it allows visitors to understand the importance of nature conservation and animal welfare while enjoying a leisurely walk. Through 'animal feeding time tours,' zookeepers introduce the habits and daily routines of the animals, ensuring a rewarding experience for families in a relaxed atmosphere.
The 'Medaka Pond' located in the center of the park preserves freshwater life such as rare water plants, medaka fish, and loaches. It is a hidden highlight for experiencing local ecology, attracting various insects and animals throughout the changing seasons.
