Fuji Safari Park

Fuji Safari Park is a safari park set amid the vast natural landscape at the foot of Mount Fuji in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where visitors can observe animals up close. The park is broadly divided into two areas: the “Safari Zone” and the “Interaction Zone,” offering a wide range of experiences from viewing powerful wild animals to getting hands-on with small animals.

① Safari Zone (an action-packed animal viewing area)
In the Safari Zone, animals such as lions, bears, elephants, and giraffes live freely across a spacious area, and visitors can observe them in a variety of ways. Since the atmosphere changes depending on the vehicle, one of the park’s charms is being able to choose the experience that best suits you.
● Safari viewing in your own car
You can observe free-roaming animals while staying inside your own car or a sightseeing bus. Since you can take your time at your own pace, this option is recommended for those who want to take photos or carefully observe animals that catch their interest.
● Jungle Bus
This hugely popular experience takes visitors around the Safari Zone in a bus covered with wire mesh and without glass windows. Along the way, you can feed bears, lions, and herbivores, and the distance between you and the charging predators seeking food is about 20 cm, making for an intense, thrilling experience. With only the wire mesh between you and the animals, you can enjoy a vivid, up-close sense of their breathing and presence.
*Feeding experiences may be changed or canceled due to weather or the animals’ condition.
● Super Jungle Bus
A vehicle that takes the thrills of the Jungle Bus to the next level, featuring wire mesh not only on the sides but also on the roof. You can observe animals approaching not just from the front and sides, but also from above, and see details that are rarely visible, such as their faces, tongues, and paw pads. It is perfect for those who want to experience animals even more closely.
*The experience contents may change depending on conditions.
● Cheetah Run Plus
This special tour lets you watch the fastest land animal, the cheetah, sprint right in front of you, in addition to the standard Jungle Bus experience of feeding bears, lions, and herbivores. It is a unique and precious program where you can experience speed and excitement like nowhere else.
*Since operating days and details may change, checking the latest information is recommended.
● Navigation Car
Ride in a zebra-striped 4WD vehicle and listen to animal explanations on a tablet as you tour the Safari Zone. Since off-road driving is possible, you can enjoy a sense of adventure, and feeding experiences with giraffes and mouflons are also available.
*Depending on weather and the animals’ condition, feeding may not be possible for some animals.
● Jungle Bus Private Tour
This special tour allows families or groups to charter a Jungle Bus exclusively for themselves. Up to 28 people can be booked, so you can enjoy an exciting safari experience together with your companions.
Applications are generally accepted until noon, seven days before the departure date, and advance reservation is required.
*Application methods and availability may change.

② Walking Safari (a luxurious experience to enjoy on foot)
Walking Safari is a course where you can carefully observe the animals while walking along the outer fence of the Safari Zone. You can stroll through a nature-rich route while enjoying forest bathing, views from observation terraces, seasonal flowers, and wild birds. Another major attraction is the chance to feed animals such as lions.
*The feeding experience may change depending on conditions.

③ Adventure Tour (a special experience with staff accompaniment)
The Adventure Tour takes you around the Walking Safari course with a staff member. You can stroll while listening to animal explanations from the staff, and also enjoy feeding experiences with lions and giraffes. The tour lasts about two hours and is recommended for those who want to learn more deeply about the animals’魅力.
*The content may change depending on the season and the animals’ condition.

④ Interaction Zone (a soothing area where you can interact with small animals)
In the Interaction Zone, visitors can directly interact with adorable small animals. Because you can get so close to the animals and enjoy feeding experiences as well, this area is especially popular with families and animal lovers. It offers a gentle, relaxing time that is different from the excitement of the Safari Zone.
*The content of interactions and feeding may change depending on the animals’ condition and crowd levels.

⑤ Dining and facilities are also well equipped
The park includes a safari restaurant, snack corners, and a bakery, creating an environment where visitors can enjoy meals between activities. It is easy to use whether you want a proper meal or just a casual break.

⑥ Seasonal events and Night Safari
Fuji Safari Park hosts a variety of seasonal events throughout the year. In addition, “Night Safari” is held mainly in spring and summer on weekends and holidays, offering a rare opportunity to observe the animals’ behavior and atmosphere at night, different from daytime. Another major attraction is the chance to enjoy a special experience in a natural setting with Mount Fuji in the background.
*Since the period and days of the Night Safari may vary from year to year, checking in advance is recommended.

Fuji Safari Park offers an exceptionally wide variety of experiences, from viewing animals from your own car to thrilling Jungle Bus rides, Walking Safari on foot, and special guided tours with staff. The Interaction Zone also allows visitors to meet small animals, and the park is well equipped with dining facilities and seasonal events. Surrounded by the natural beauty at the foot of Mount Fuji, it is a beloved destination where people can fully experience the charm of animals.
