About

Inokashira Park Zoo (Inokashira Shizen Bunkaen) is split into a main zoo and an aquatic garden on the pond, about five minutes apart on foot; one ticket covers both. It focuses on Japanese wildlife such as tanuki, Japanese squirrels and birds, plus a small amusement area for children. The grounds also hold the studio and sculpture garden of sculptor Kitamura Seibo.
