Night Safari at Asa Zoo

A chance to see the nocturnal animals in action and to escape to the relative cool of the　Asa highlands. The “night safari” is only held 8 nights a year, and it is always popular　with families and dating couples.

There is plenty of debate as to just how bad a zoo Asa Zoo is. It seems to us that　although the confined spaces in which many of the animals are kept (especially the big cats)　are disgraceful, on the whole, as zoos go, the conditions are relatively good.

Hopefully some of the obvious delight of the kids that visit will translate into long term conservationist　thinking and a respect for animals.

The zoo is open until 21:00 (final admission at 20:30).

Shuttle bus between Kamiyasu Astram Station and Asa Zoo every 10-20 minutes.
