Waste of time and money!

DO NOT bother wasting your time or money to go here. We paid 50,000 Yen for round trip bus, entry and safari park bus ride and all we got to do was the safari park bus ride which took about 30mins! If you want to...More

Pretty Boring

While the Diavlo roller-coaster was pretty awesome, the rest of this theme park was far below average. A large majority of the rides were closed, some were posted at entry, however others weren't, it was quite disappointing. The reasons for giving this 2/5 are because...More

Safari park good, the rest, meh.

A safari park isn't that common in Japan so it was a nice change from a typical Japanese zoo which is usually just a depressing mix of concrete and cages. Here you can drive yourself through or go on the park's safari bus which leaves...More

A nice place to sit and relax!

You can enjoy various sights of the Himeji castle and sit around the park and have a picnic. It's best to visit on a sunny day so you can walk around the park and admire the scenery!

My husband and I went here on our honeymoon. We're currently unable to own pets, so the most exciting thing about Central Park was being able to interact with animals. There's a dog park within the amusement park, and more dogs and other animals within...More

Himeji Gardens

Everything you see in the travel mags!! Beautiful plant life, cats sleeping under the trees (yes you read right cats) Koi swimming in the garden lakes make for a magic and tradition experience. Simply put stunning.

Visiting this park was the one and only complete waste of time, money and effort during all my travels in japan. Getting there as a non japanese is challenging, but doable. once there you pay 3100 admission, then you are required to pay for literally...More

Not depressing

Japanese zoos are often cramped and surrounded by urbanisation but Himeji Central Park Safari is spacious and good for the animals. At the petting zoo you can pet wallabies. If you want to hold guinea pigs they will be served to you in a wicker...More
