Gunma Safari Park

The Wild Animal Kingdom Gunma Safari Park located in Tomioka city, Gunma, is a popular tourist spot where you can see many large animals like lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes in the vast pastures from buses that tour throughout the park. In the park, you can ride not only classic viewing safari buses but also feeding buses that allow you to feed animals like lions and other large herbivores. There are also other areas to enjoy walking around like the Bird Park and Little Farm where you can see animals such as monkeys, horses, and birds.

See animals up close from the buses

To fully enjoy what the Gunma Safari Park has to offer, we highly recommend the feeding bus tour! This bus allows you to get right up close to animals you normally wouldn’t like lions and large herbivores which you can feed treats from inside of the bus. You’ll surely be amazed by the power of the giant lions’ jaws that bites into the meat.

Watch the daily lives of the animals in the Walking Safari Zone

The Walking Safari Zone allows you to feed animals like goats and see the various angles of others like tigers and cheetahs. Seeing the animals come right up to the glass in front of you will make quite an impression! Wolf Forest where you can find many wolves is also a very popular area of the park.
