The biggest attraction of Ueno Zoo is the giant pandas. The adorable pandas always attract many visitors. In addition to popular animals such as elephants, giraffes, lions, and tigers, you can also meet a wide variety of other animals such as western gorillas, polar bears, and red pandas. Events such as feeding times for animals and guided explanations by zookeepers are held regularly, allowing you to learn more about the ecology and personalities of each animal.

The zoo does not just exhibit animals, but also focuses on species preservation and environmental education. There are also plenty of workshops and events for children, providing opportunities for them to develop an understanding of the importance of life and an interest in the natural environment through interaction with animals.
