Edogawa Natural Zoo

The Edogawa Natural Zoo is located on the premises of the Gyosen Park in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo. It is a cozy, admission-free zoo. Many small animals including red pandas, giant anteaters, black-tailed prairie dogs, Bennett's red neck wallabies, Humboldt penguins, and otarias are kept in this zoo. The most popular area is the petting zoo, where you can hold rabbits and guinea pigs and interact with goats and sheep (open twice a day: 10:00 a.m.－11:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.－3:00 p.m.). In the aquatic zone, freshwater and brackish water fish and creatures that live in and around the Edogawa Ward are shown. It is a 15-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line's Nishi-Kasai Station or a 20-minute walk from the Toei Subway Shinjuku Line's Funabori Station. It is also possible to take a bus to either station.
