Ueno Zoo

Ueno Zoo, located within Ueno Onshi Park, opened in 1882 as the oldest zoo in Japan and is home to approximately 400 species and 3,000 animals. The zoo is divided into the East and West Gardens, where visitors can encounter a diverse range of animals including giant pandas, gorillas, elephants, and aye-ayes.
