Flow of the course

About this spot

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo (神戸市立王子動物園) is Kobe's signature zoo, where you can meet a wide variety of animals including pandas. The grounds are spacious and include animal-contact corners and play equipment areas, so even families with small children can enjoy a full day. Walking through the green grounds, you can enjoy unhurried animal watching in the morning hours, which is the main attraction. It is an easy spot to build in as an active stretch before heading to the pool.

Tips

If you want to avoid the crowds, visiting right after opening is recommended. The grounds include slopes, so if you are pushing a stroller it is reassuring to check your route in advance.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning right after opening is relatively quiet
