Kochi Prefectural Zoo Noichi (高知県立のいち動物公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A prefectural zoo in Kanan City where diverse animals live in spacious grounds that take advantage of Shikoku's rich nature. Many exhibits allow close observation of animals, and even small children can enjoy walking around without getting bored. The garden paths have plenty of shade and are easy to navigate with a baby carriage, making it relatively comfortable even in summer. Early morning hours are when the animals are most active, making it an ideal time for observation. As a pre-beach activity, it's a spot the whole family can enjoy together.

Tips

It's a driving distance from Ya Shii Park. In summer, don't forget to stay hydrated, and bring a hat and parasol for safety. There are shops and rest areas, so feel free to take breaks when it gets hot.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours. Early morning right after opening is recommended when animals are most active.
