OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Nogeyama Zoo is a zoo in Yokohama, founded in 1951. Snacks and souvenirs come from the Nakayoshi Shop at the entrance, and light meals from the rest area at Hidamari Hiroba, where the menu boards list the seven major allergens and fuller ingredient details are kept at the counter. Cashless payment works at the café and the shop but nowhere else in the zoo. Balls, bats, rackets and similar outdoor play equipment are not allowed, and animals may be off display because of weather, their health or enclosure maintenance.

The zoo has no car park of its own, so coming by car means paying at a nearby car park; Keikyu Hinodecho station is a ten-minute walk away. Coin lockers are in front of the entrance.
