Giant tropical jungle dome
Many of the animals inhabit the giant 15 m tall dome made to replicate a tropical jungle using the heat of the local hot springs. The well designed walking path winds throughout the dome allowing you to see the animals up close and at varying angles.

Popular attraction that allows you to touch the animals!
Inside of the zoo are the super popular hands-on-activities held periodically that allow people to actually touch some of the plant eating animals such as capybaras and 20 cm small pygmy marmoset monkeys, as well as certain reptiles. Come and check out the many different ways to enjoy the Kusatsu Tropical Wonderland other than by just watching animals.

Doctor fish experience
Inside of the park, you can also have a hand or foot bath for free with the doctor fish, aka Garra rufa, which are actually used as medical treatment in parts of Europe. After these Garra rufa fish nibble the dead skin off your limbs, you’ll be left smooth and sleek!
