    This place was so much fun!

    This place was so much fun! The animals seemed so happy too. I think this zoo is a great place to start your sightseeing in the Nagano region. The monkeys are very friendly and not aggressive. I wonder what they feed them.

    Don’t go. Don’t encourage the zoo to keep animals in deplorable conditions. They clearly have no love for Fuko the elephant they just want your cash. Unsure? Check out all the news on Fuko . Increadably wrong on so many levels. The treatment for Fuko...More

    Awful treatment of Fuko

    Something has to be done about a very very sad and lonely bored elephant. Japanese seem so compassionate but still can't see how bad they treat some animals. Time to do something

    Just google Fuko the elephant

    That elephant at this zoo has been alone in a cell for over 9 years. Just YouTube the condition that elephant is in and think twice about supporting zoos.

    Besides the quite expansive red panda exhibit, this zoo is more of the same thing that you kind anywhere. The only thing that bothered me was that many of the animals looked genuinely unhappy and besides the lion keeper, the workers seemed disinterested in the...More
